Rain, Mist, and Pollen: Why Seattle Windows Need More Love
Seattle’s Weather Isn’t Kind to Glass
Seattle’s climate may be iconic, but it’s no friend to your windows. While rain might seem like a natural rinse, it often leaves behind mineral spots and streaks that dull the glass. Soft rainwater mixes with airborne pollutants, and over time, these deposits can etch into the surface—making regular cleaning essential for preserving clarity and preventing damage.
Pollen, Salt Mist, and Seasonal Grime
Spring and summer bring a fresh challenge: pollen. That fine yellow dust settles on windows and turns sticky when wet, forming a stubborn film that’s tough to remove. Add in the salty mist from Puget Sound, and coastal homes face an extra layer of grime that can corrode metal frames and cloud the view. Moss and twigs from nearby trees also collect on sills, especially in shaded or wooded areas.
Most Seattle homeowners benefit from a twice-yearly cleaning schedule—once in spring to clear away winter residue and pollen, and again in fall to prep for the rainy season. Homes near the coast or surrounded by trees may need more frequent service. Skylights, which are exposed to sun and rain and often hard to reach, also require extra attention to stay clear and leak-free.
For windows that are hard to reach—like skylights or upper-story panes tucked behind landscaping—Crystal Clear’s purified water-fed pole systems deliver a spotless finish without the risk of ladders or harsh chemicals. Whether you're battling salt mist from Puget Sound or sticky pollen buildup, our expert team knows how to restore clarity and protect your windows from seasonal wear.
