Window Cleaning in Aledo
If your Aledo glass looks permanently cloudy and washing it changes nothing, that is not dirt. It is mineral, put there by well irrigation, and it sits in the surface of the glass rather than on it.
Sprinkler overspray dries on the pane and leaves what was dissolved in it behind. Do that a few hundred times and the deposit bonds into the glass surface. Soap moves the dust sitting on top of it and leaves the haze exactly where it was, which is why the window looks no better after an hour of work.
Removing it is a separate step before the wash, not harder scrubbing during it. Once it's off, the ordinary clean actually shows.
Two things worth knowing. Deposits caught early come off completely. Glass that has been etching for years can be improved a long way but not always returned to new, and anybody promising otherwise hasn't looked at it. And it comes back on the same sprinkler schedule that made it, so the fix is partly moving the head that's hitting the window.
We clear the tracks and weep holes while we're there. On a lot where irrigation throws grit as well as iron, those pack faster than they do in town.
What we do differently in Aledo
- ✦Mineral removal treated as its own step before the wash, because soap alone moves dust and leaves the haze
- ✦Screens washed separately rather than rinsed in place, since grit off an acreage lot loads them faster
- ✦Tracks and weep holes cleared, which pack quicker where irrigation throws grit
- ✦We'll point out the sprinkler head causing it, because cleaning it without moving that is a subscription to the same problem
Questions
Why does my glass still look cloudy after I clean it?
Because what you're seeing isn't on the glass, it's in it. Well irrigation dries on the pane and leaves mineral behind, and over time that bonds into the surface. Soap lifts the dust on top and leaves the haze. It takes a separate mineral step first, then the wash.
Will it come back?
On the same schedule that put it there, yes, if nothing changes. That's why we'll show you which head is hitting the window. Moving one sprinkler does more for that pane than cleaning it twice a year.
