2. Window Washing

It Is More Than Just “For Looks”

Dirty windows can block up to 30–40% of natural light. That means:

• Higher electricity bills
• More artificial lighting
• Reduced mood and comfort
• A constant “dirty home” feeling

In BC’s rainy environment, pollen, salt residue, and grime build up quickly.

Dangers of Ignoring It

Contaminants on glass include:

• Dust
• Pollen
• Acidic residues
• Bird droppings

Over time this:

• Scratches glass
• Damages seals
• Causes corrosion
• Contributes to mold growth

Benefits of Regular Cleaning

• More natural light
• Improved indoor air quality
• Protection of window seals
• Extended window lifespan
• Higher property value

Psychological Effect

Natural light reduces stress.

Bright interiors improve mood and sleep.

Clean windows create a sense of order and control.
