The Advantages Of Having Your Windows Cleaned In The Summer

Posted by on

When the sun shines, everyone is generally more positive and everything tends to look that little bit better. On the other hand, some things can look a little worse: your windows, for example. In all its glory, the brightness of the sun really can shine a light on dust, debris and dirt – especially on glass ? so it might just be the right time to get your windows looking super clean and crisp.

Dirt can collect on your windows all year round but there are a number of reasons why summer is a particularly good time to get them cleaned:

Why You Shouldn’t Have Your Windows Cleaned on a Sunny Day

Whilst the sun is great at showing up dirt and smears on windows, it?s best to wait until an overcast day before tackling the job.

It may seem like it makes sense to clean your windows with the warm sun streaming through them, showing up all the dirty patches, but high temperatures and bright sunshine actually create the worst conditions for window cleaning.

This will end up leaving more smudges and smears behind, making it difficult to get a perfect finish.? Cool and overcast weather creates the best conditions for achieving a flawless finish when washing windows.

Of course, if it?s the middle of summer, having your windows cleaned on a warm and sunny day may be unavoidable. In this case, it?s best to have the job completed early in the day before the sun gets too high in the sky.

But this can affect your gutters; if you live in an area with a lot of surrounding trees, then they could collect in your gutters and cause problems for your property.

Cleaning Your Gutters

The gutter system in your property forms a key part in ensuring that your property can adequately dispose of all rainwater. In dry weather, a few leaves in your gutter won?t be a huge problem, however, if it rains, they can become heavy and prevent excess rain from draining properly. This can lead to overflowing and even cause structural damage to your property such as: walls, soffits, fascia, siding, basement,?and even your foundation. If your property suffers water damage due to lack of gutter maintenance, your insurance company may hold you at fault, so if you fail to maintain your gutters the consequences may be detrimental.
