Pressure washers make cleaning a breeze. But are they safe to use on solar panels? Find out by clicking here…

Solar panels are built to withstand the rigors of Utah’s elements. But even these planet-saving pieces of engineering have their limits.

It really depends on the brush.

Solar panels may seem tough because they live outside all year under Utah’s intense elements, but in reality they are delicate creatures with a sensitive surface that can be damaged rather easily.

We’re big fans of cleaning your windows whenever they get dirty, regardless of timing.

Let’s face it, the whole reason for having windows is to let in oodles of lovely natural light and for you to be able to see out.

In a word, absolutely!

Many people think they have to wait until both inside and outside are super grimy and you feel like you’re in a Film Noir movie every time you look out the window, but there’s no need to wait if your inside window panes are grubby.

We get it. You want the cleanest windows possible, in the shortest time, with the minimum of effort. Now there’s a concept we can get on board with!

Here are 3 little-known tips for getting super-duper clean windows, stat.

Distilled water is very pure water.

However, unlike deionized water, it does NOT attract minerals to itself. It also still contains a whole host of minerals and elements that can cause water spots.

It’s not worse than regular water at causing water spots - but it’s also not really any better.

Deionized water uses a special filtration system that removes basically everything other than the hydrogen and oxygen that form the water molecule. It has a purity level four times higher than distilled water!

As a general rule, it’s usually best to wash your outside windows during spring or fall.

If you use the wrong cleaning solution for the time of year, winter’s chilly temperatures can result in freezing. Which can result in cracks and disaster.

This may seem an odd question because of course you should wash your windows, regardless of the season, right?

Well, yes…but with certain provisos.

No matter the season, it’s usually best to wash your windows on a cloudy day.

One reason for this is that when windows are in direct sunlight, it can be hard to see streaks left on the glass.

This is an interesting question. Is there really a best time of day to clean windows?!

Actually, there is, and we’re nerdily excited to tell you all about it!

No matter the season, it’s usually best to wash your windows on an overcast day or earlier in the morning.

Taking the time to remove and clean window screens makes a huge difference to how clean your windows look. You could have the cleanest, most sparkliest window panes on the planet….but if they’re behind dirty window screens, you’d never know.

But how do you remove those pesky screens from the iron grip of the window frame? If you’ve ever tried the ‘just yank it out’ method, you’ll know there’s slightly more finesse involved, unless you don’t mind a bent up, completely pointless window screen that’s been turned into a bug freeway.

If you’re like most people, washing your windows is fine in principle…until you get to the window screens.

What do you do with them? Can you wash the window behind without removing the screen? Could you jet wash the window through the screen? Is it enough to just wash the window inside and leave the outside? Why do window screens have to be so fiddly in the first place?!

Window washing is rarely at the top of most people’s ‘Can’t Wait To Do’ list.

Between the snow, salt, rain and mud, your windows will take a comprehensive beating during winter, not to mention the fact that colder weather results in higher heating bills. Prepare now to preserve your windows and save money on utilities during the colder months following our easy seven-step guide.

There’s a lot of confusion around the differences between distilled and deionized water, especially when it comes to cleaning windows.

The reality is that both are still water and will physically wash away dirt and impurities. However, beyond that, they do both act differently and your choice of water will affect how well your window washing job turns out and how much elbow grease you have to put into it.
