Can you clean the windows when it’s raining?
Let’s answer this question, once and for all: Yes, you can most definitely clean windows in the rain. The claim that rain makes your windows dirty is a myth, so you don’t have to delay your windows being cleaned due to rain.
I offer a re-clean guarantee when it’s raining, so if your windows don’t dry up clean, I’ll come and do them again- but no one has taken me up on it in 12 years.
The only difference rain makes to a clean is that I get wet- which anyone who knows me will tell you doesn’t bother me!
The simple fact is, dirt makes your windows dirty, not rain. The only reason your windows appear to be dirtier after rainfall is because the window was dirty to begin with and the rain has clung onto the dirt, dust, pollen and muck and stuck to the window. This can also happen if the frame has not been cleaned as the rain will wash the dirt from the frame onto the window pane.
If the window and frame are both clean, the rain will not cling to the glass and simply roll off the window, leaving the glass clean. This is due to rain water being much, much purer than tap water.
