What’s the difference? It’s just water; right?
Enclosing your lanai is a great home improvement. Not only does it keep inclement weather outside (where it belongs,) it also keeps pests and pollen out. It’s a great way to add value and very usable square footage to your home.
So now you’ve done the project, let’s talk about how to properly care for it. Hiring a professional window cleaning service to clean your sunroom windows & doors a few times a year is a great investment. However, sometimes dirt, pollen and algae build up fast so a more intense cleaning may be a better option.
Did you know that pressure washing windows & doors can void your manufacturer’s warranty? It’s true. Most major window & door manufacturers have written that use of high-pressure water usage will invalidate any warranty. A standard pressure washer generates between 1,500-3,000+ PSI (pounds per square inch). That type of pressure can do damage to screens and window seals.
Water intrusion forces moisture through window & door seals. Direct impact of these high-pressure streams can shatter glass panes or cause seal failure between double-pane insulated glass (permanent cloudy looking glass.)
Replacing these products can be costly, especially if the warranty is voided. The safe alternative is called Soft Washing. This is a process used by exterior professionals & window cleaners that uses a specialized detergent in combination with low pressure water – under 500 PSI. It kills and dissolves dirt, mold, algae & mildew without the harsh blasting and potentially damaging high-pressure stream. Although the process can be more expensive, soft washing lasts up to four times longer than traditional pressure washing which makes it an affordable choice.
Always hire a knowledgeable professional, with the right tools, equipment and experience to care for your home – the right way. At All Season Rooms we have trusted professionals who we work with and will be happy to refer you.
