A storm does more than soak the lawn. Wind drives pollen, dust and dirt onto glass, and the rain that follows leaves it streaked and spotted when it dries. On Farmington Hills homes, a post-storm window cleaning is often the fastest way to get the view back.
What a storm leaves on glass
The first heavy storm of the season pulls pollen down from the trees and throws it against the windows. Later storms bring dust and fine debris, and any glass near trees picks up a film of sap and leaf bits. When that dries in the sun, it bakes on and is harder to shift.
When to clean after a storm
It is best to wait until the weather settles, not to clean in the middle of a wet week. Cleaning right after a storm means the grime has not had time to bond. If a home is near trees or a road, one storm can be enough to dull the glass, so a clean within a few days keeps it from setting.
What the clear covers
A post-storm clean is a full clean, not a rinse. Exterior glass is washed and squeegeed, interior glass is cleaned frame to sill, and screens are removed, washed and reinstalled. Tracks and sills, which hold the most storm debris, are wiped out. If the storm was heavy, screens may need a second rinse.
Planning around the season
For homes that catch storms often, a clean after the worst of the season passes keeps the glass clear.
