Why do Window Cleaners Leave the Glass Wet?
7 February 2024Understanding Weather and Window Cleaning
When it comes to window cleaning, one of the most common questions we encounter at Nautilus Window Cleaning is: “Do you clean windows in the rain?” The short answer is yes, but there’s more to this than meets the eye. Let’s delve into why rain isn’t a deterrent for professional window cleaners and how we ensure the highest quality of service, regardless of the weather.
Why Rain Isn’t a Problem for Professional Window Cleaning
Water Quality: Rainwater is typically very pure, especially in rural or suburban areas. It doesn’t contain the minerals found in tap water that can leave marks on windows. Rainwater can sometimes aid in cleaning, helping rinse away loose dirt.
Advanced Techniques: Professional window cleaners use specialised tools and techniques. The cleaning solutions we apply are more significant in the cleaning process than the water used to rinse them away. So, even if it rains, the cleaning agents still do their job effectively.
Immediate Results: Many assume that rain will make windows dirty immediately after cleaning. However, it’s not the rain itself that dirties windows, but the dirt and debris it can carry. If a window is cleaned properly, rain will not make it dirty again right after cleaning.
Adapting to Weather Conditions
At Nautilus Window Cleaning, we keep a close eye on weather forecasts. While light to moderate rain is generally no issue, certain conditions like heavy storms or extreme weather can affect cleaning. In such cases, we prioritise the safety of our staff and the effectiveness of our cleaning. We may reschedule appointments if we believe the weather will hinder our high standards of window cleaning.
Ensuring the Best Results
Pre-Cleaning Inspection: We always inspect windows before cleaning to assess if the rain might wash down any additional dirt or debris.
Post-Cleaning Protection: Our team uses cleaning solutions that leave a protective layer on the glass, helping it stay cleaner for longer, even if it rains shortly after cleaning.
Customer Communication: We maintain clear communication with our clients. If you have concerns about the weather on your scheduled cleaning day, we’re here to discuss the best course of action.
