Our Technique
Some of customers tell us our window-cleaning technique is mesmerizing. We just think it’s the best window-cleaning process in the industry. At A-Z Pressure Wash Co, we use ladders—never poles—to reach your windows, so that we have complete control over the cleaning process. And we never clean your windows using spray bottles or paper towels—we don't expect you to pay for something you could do yourself. Instead, we use window mops known in the industry as strip washers, along with traditional squeegees. We carry our liquid cleaning solution in buckets attached to our belts, and use a precise, non-traditional cleaning technique that leaves all of your windows spotless and streak free. When we're done cleaning the glass, we wipe down the window frames to remove any excess solution, and then finish each window by wiping clean the window well.

Why Get Your Window Professionally Cleaned?
The obvious reasons:
1. To enjoy a better view.
2. To benefit from better heat efficiency.
3. To have a brighter home.
4. To free your time for activities that you enjoy.
Additional important reasons:
Glass allows natural light into your home, which helps cut down on energy costs. It also helps with the heating of your home during the winter months by allowing in and trapping heat from the sun. Unfortunately, glass delivers none of these benefits fully when it is dirty. Finally, if glass becomes damaged due to long exposure to contaminants, it must be replaced at considerable cost.
How does window glass get damaged?
Glass can, over time, become permeated with a variety of contaminants that compromise its transparency and performance. These contaminants include:
Hard minerals (from sprinkler systems and building run-off)
Oxidization (from windows encased in metal frames and screens)
Acid rain
Overspray (from paint, chalking, mortar and more)
Understanding Glass
Glass is a porous liquid that continues to harden over time after it has cooled. Because it is porous, airborne pollutants can compromise its transparency. Hard water also can damage glass that is not cleaned on a regular basis. This can happen when rain water runs over man-made surfaces such as stained wood, painted siding or concrete sealant, collecting minerals and acids. These minerals and acids then accumulate in the pores of the glass. Glass that is not maintained over long periods of time can suffer permanent surface damage, and, ultimately, structural damage.
Frequency of Cleanings
Quarterly ( recommended)- 4 exterior cleanings and 2 interior cleanings per year
Twice Yearly( preferred)- 2 exterior cleanings and 1 interior cleaning per year
Monthly- 12 exterior cleanings and 2 interior cleanings per year
Yearly- 1 interior and exterior cleaning per year
Signs of Oxidation: A milky appearance on the exterior of you windows, present even after cleaning them. Don't be confused, sometimes what looks like dirt on the exterior of your windows can be oxidation. Another sign of oxidation is a grayish look to your window sills. If your window sills are gray that means oxidation has already started and you need to call us immediately…
Removing the Oxidation: We begin the process, by applying a special acid chemical specially formulated to remove the oxidation from your glass. We then scrub your windows with a semi abrasive pad to ensure all the oxidation is removed. We complete the process by cleaning your windows our traditional way; leaving your glass restored to factory condition and clean.
F.A.Q.
How often should I have my windows cleaned?
A-Z Pressure Wash Co recommends cleanings when "dirt and residue appear." The importance of regular cleanings reduces the risk of harmful deposits which can damage glass. A-Z Pressure Wash Co advise monthly cleanings for businesses and quarterly service for residential clients. Glass replacement is not cheap. Let us protect your investment.
My windows are treated with protective film (tint) can you still clean them?
Certainly , all of the products A-Z Pressure Wash Co uses does not contain ammonia or other harmful chemicals which would ruin your window tint. I work very closely with window tinting companies in the area and I am sure they would be happy to recommend us to clean your windows. I believe this is more of a reason to use our service because I am sure you paid a lot money for there product , we can help protect it.
What are the products you use to clean my windows?
Well if I told you it wouldn't be a secret anymore , but what I could tell you is that we only use professional products for professional window cleaners. No ammonia is used. All of our products are safe for the wood work around your windows and your pets can even lick our solution and not get sick.
I have several windows with moisture inside the glass? My windows are not old! How did this happen?
This is referred to as IG or insulated glass failure. Many windows stay clear after 20 years when others are clouded in only 20 days. If you are experiencing this, refer to your warrantee information sooner rather than later. The reasons generally trace back to manufacturing mistakes or oversight. Even the best fabricators will have some failed units. However, the window is still defective and not your fault. Reputable providers of quality glass will stand behind their products.
How long will my windows stay clean?
Well that is tough to say. Many factors I would take into consideration are what type of area you live in, how dirty is the exterior of your home, and do you have screens on your windows. I typically tell customers that your interior windows will stay clean close to one year. Finger prints and cooking grease are the only factors which can cause you windows to get dirtier earlier. Your exterior windows will get dirty quicker because they are exposed to the elements. I typically tell customers that you will notice you exterior windows getting dirty again after 3- 4 months. But that all depends on certain various factors.
Why should I have both the inside and outside cleaned at the same time?
We strongly recommend doing both the inside and outside at the same time for a first time customer to see the full effect of a perfectly cleaned window. A smear or smudge on the inside not cleaned by a professional could leave you dissatisfied with your service. You will be amazed at the difference it makes! |
