Comes to an end and spring sets in we go out of our way to clean our homes to remove the dirt that has accumulated over the previous seasons. Thorough cleaning of the interior and exterior of the house is a lot of work, and with the impending rains, it can be very hard to do all the cleaning in the time you had planned. The most challenging thing that comes with the occasional rain is dirty windows. It is common belief that rain is your worst enemy when it comes to your window. However, science says otherwise.
There is no way that rain water can dirty your window unless it is a puddle resulting from the rain that just happens to splash on your window. Rainwater is as a result of evaporated water that falls from the clouds when it is saturated. This means there is not dirt. So what is the real cause of you dirty windows? The answer lies in these two culprits:
Window screens
Generally, window screens are helpful in keeping dirt away from the window. The screen acts as a shield, so to speak, for the window. Dust, bird droppings as well as other dirtying agents are prevented from reaching the window but stay stuck on the screens. A mixture of rain water and dirt is always a receipt for disaster, at least for your windows. When the sun lights up the skies and the water dries up you will notice some marks on the window that wasn’t here before.
Polluted environment
Though the air around us may seem clean, there is a number of a pollutant that composes the air we breathe in. Though this may not be damaging to our health, it is brutal to our windows. Rain tends to get mixed up with a number of these pollutants and as it hits the window and dries later on it forms streaks. This is generally referred to as acid rain and happens especially in industrial areas.
Those are the main reasons that leave you windows unclean every time it rains. In case the cause of dirt to your window is window screen, you can wash it off or call in a professional cleaner to do it for you.
Do you always worry why your windows are dirty after rains, you now have an answer.
