subject: Can My Home Windows Get Messed Up If They Are Not Cleaned Frequently? [print this page] Home owners will occasionally ask me if it is probable for their house windows to get destroyed by not having them scrubbed often enough. The answer to this question is a immense possibly. I say maybe because it does depend somewhat on the conditions you live in and the wear that will be happening on the home windows. I will give two different climates in this conversation and let you know which will produce ruined windows where the other will not. This will give you a good quality gauge as to whether or not your climate will ruin your home windows without proper cleansing on a regular basis.
The primary atmosphere that can affect your windows is the western atmosphere that has hard water. When hard water is left on the windows from sprinklers or other water sources the mineral deposits in the water are left behind causing the windows to appear to have a white film on them. If this is allowed to accumulate over time then the home windows could become permanently injured and will have to be changed. The greatest way to fight this problem is to have the house windows scrubbed on a periodic basis with regular window cleaner and maybe some white vinegar. It is also vital to have any water resources that may be spraying on the home windows moved or adjusted.
The second atmosphere that can have an effect on your home windows is the eastern environment that doesnt have hard water but another potential window difficulty. The east rains a lot and because of this may cause water to be built up in the window sills or other window areas. It is vital to scrub out this water often to avoid mold growth or a deteriorating in the structure of your house or windows. The superlative way to do this is to pressure wash off any mold that may start to grow and to use any means to keep water out of the window area and the windows dry.
These are just two environments that can affect your house windows and the upkeep of them. In order to keep your home looking nice and your windows cleaned I would advise having your home windows services at least once a year in the dry climates and once every six months in the soaked ones. Need will obviously depend on your individual conditions. In addition your budget may also be something to consider when maintaining your house windows. At the very least you could service your own house windows yearly and have a authority come in on a once every three year basis.
