Rain alone will not ruin clean windows. There, I've said it.
I want to take on this myth, as many people seem to confuse their houses with their cars. Unlike vehicles, whose nice carwash will definitely be ruined by driving around on wet and dirty roads, your house stays put. When your windows are dirty and it rains, they definitely will look worse afterwards. However, when CLEAN windows are rained on, the rain water does not carry any dirt, minerals, or calcium with it as groundwater does. It will simply dry and any marks left on there will be barely noticeable.
How can I be so confident? I don't offer "Rain Checks", however there have been times when it has started raining during a cleaning and I have offered to come back and touch up any bad marks that the rain has left. In 19 years of business, I've only ever had to return 3 times, and all 3 times were due to issues that were compounded by the rain, not due to the rain itself. You see there ARE some situations in which this won't hold true: rains with high winds blowing dirt onto lower windows (such as during the Monsoons), a dirty roof or leaky awning dripping dirt onto glass from above, oxidation on old window frames or siding washing off on the glass, etc. So, in some cases the wise decision is definitely to reschedule. However, for most jobs, especially where the majority of windows are under an overhang or porch, there is no need to panic.
If you do have concerns and I feel like there aren't any of the above issues with your house, we promise to return and touch up any windows that were affected by the rain. Keep your scheduled appointment and you can be confident they'll look great once our beautiful weather returns!

Congratulations to the new IWCA President, David Knowlton.

I am now a certified AWP/MEWP (boom and scissor lift) operator! Thanks to Sunbelt Rentals and the International Window Cleaning Association for such fine training. Just another step to make our company safer.

Michael and Jackie Draper, owners of American Window Cleaner Magazine and windowcleanersafety.com. Really top notch people. They have helped us become safer and saved us a ton of money on insurance costs. If you have a service company that has employees and needs to meet OSHA standards, Draper Michael is the guy you need to know!

We had an opportunity to do a charity window cleaning job sponsored by Ettore Products Company for one of the local Boys & Girls Clubs. The first pic is of the Branch Manager, Ricardo Sandoval, a super nice guy who truly wants to help the children in his neighborhood. The next pic is of Jose Ahumada, owner of Green Clean here in San Diego. We were teamed up on the job. About 10 volunteers cleaned the exterior of their building and some select interior windows. (I'll post a pic of the whole generous crew later) Very worthy cause and I was glad to be able to have a part in it. ????
