Rain does not help clean the windows; for truly clean results, consider what a window cleaning company can achieve.

Contrary to some opinions rain doesnt help clean the windows. Although it may help in loosening and removing some of the larger debris, rain actually traps dust and pollen when it falls. The dirt, pollen, and airborne dust is transferred to the window when it comes in contact with the droplets. Additionally, as the rain hits the dirty sill, it splatters, and deposits whatever it comes into contact with onto the glass. Rain might wet the windows, and help remove larger debris deposits – like mud or caked on dirt, but they will still appear dirty after a good downpour.

Hard water cannot be removed with water

Hard water build up on window panes is very common, especially in Texas if you have sprinklers hitting the glass semi regularly. The hard water stains are mineral build ups so thick they are becoming visible on the glass surface. Elbow grease isnt enough to remove these troublesome spots. Usually I will use specialized glass treatments to get the hardwater stains off. These stubborn stains are often better handled by professionals from a company specializing in window cleaning services.

Oxidation from frames

Oxidation is basically paint that is breaking down. If frames are in the sub for long periods of time (years) they tend to oxidize without regular cleaning. When frames begin to oxidize, the painted surface becomes chalky and almost powder like. Even on a clean window, if the frames havent been cleaned cleaned – the rain or any water will carry this oxidized paint and run down the glass leaving it on the surface as it runs. In short, if the frames arent clean but the window is, the window will get dirty again as water runs down onto the glass. A trusted window cleaning company can help prevent this type of grime buildup.

Why Call a Professional?

Professional window cleaning isn’t just about wiping the glass down; window cleaning companies also offer tools and expertise for thorough results.

It involves:

• Removing embedded debris safely
• Using the correct solutions for mineral and hard water deposits
• Cleaning screens to prevent oxidation runoff
• Detailing edges and frames
• Working safely on ladders and high glass
• Protecting your seals and preventing scratches

Glass can be permanently damaged if cleaned improperly — especially if debris or mineral buildup is scraped incorrectly. What looks like a simple job can turn into etched glass if the wrong method is used. As you can see, using a window cleaning company can help avoid costly mistakes.

A professional window cleaning company understands the difference between surface dirt and staining, knows what can be restored, and has the equipment to do it safely and efficiently. Call Window Wranglers 817-458-8804 or send me a message for a free quote
