The Perks of Having Clean Window Screens

The Perks of Having Clean Window Screens

Chances are, you don’t often think about the screens on your Macomb and Oakland County home, and you’re not alone. Many homeowners in Oakland and Macomb County remember their windows, but don’t really take the time to clean their screens. Screens are a summertime essential if you want to keep your windows open to let in fresh air. They are also one place where dirt and debris can build up without you noticing it. Sure, you notice the dirt when you open your windows for the first time in the spring. You know, the dirt that has piled up on the window frame, but what about the dirt in the screen? Here are some important reasons why you should consider having your screens cleaned, at the same time you clean your windows.

Clean Window Screens Provide Better Air Flow

The point of screens is to allow you to open your windows and move fresh air through your home, without having to worry about bugs, birds and other stuff in the air coming into your house. If your screens are dirty, and filled with dirt, you probably aren’t getting the same quality of air flow through your house as you might otherwise.

Clean Window Screens Provide Cleaner Air

All of that dirt, pollen and gunk stuck in your screens will eventually dry out, and if your windows are open, will blow into your house. Poor indoor air quality is one of the largest contributors to hay fever and seasonal allergies. If you feel like you’re suffering from allergies when you are in your house with the windows open, your screens might be contributing dust and pollen to the air in your home. Cleaning your screens on a regular basis will reduce the amount of airborne dust and pollen that blows into your home.

Clean Window Screens Provide Brighter Rooms

Dirt filled screens are just as bad at letting light through as dirty windows. If you’ve had your windows cleaned, you know how much of a difference professionally cleaned windows can have on the brightness of a room. Increase your natural light by cleaning your screens at the same time as your windows. Cleaning your screens is an especially important task if you are getting ready to sell your home. Natural light is one of the features that many home buyers look for, and clean screens can mean brighter rooms and, for the home seller, an easier sale with a higher sale price.

Clean Window Screens Will Keep Your Windows Cleaner Longer

How frustrating would it be to have beautiful, clean windows, only to have them dirty after the first big rain? We have seen this happen to our customers. They spend the time and money to have their windows cleaned, but pass on the screens. The first driving rain washes all of the dirt in the screens, onto the freshly cleaned windows leaving spots and drips. Having your windows cleaned by a professional window cleaning company is an investment that most homeowners want to last for as long as possible. If you are considering having your windows professionally cleaned, have the screens cleaned too. This will make your investment in clean windows last longer.
