Why is Cleaning Your Window Screens More Important Than Every Other Cleaning Chore?

No matter what day, week, or month of the year it is, you probably have some sort of list of household chores to get done… or at least to think about getting done in the near future. If you were to take that list out or review it in your head right now, what kind of things are on it?

Is organizing the attic or garage on it? And when to comes to cleaning, what areas of your house are on it?  The floors, appliances, or windows?

Whatever you’ve got on that cleaning to-do list, chances are the one thing that’s missing is the most urgent thing that should be on that list – clean the window screens.

If that’s true, don’t be alarmed – you’re not alone. Most people eventually get around to cleaning their windows and some folks do this regularly. But, what just about everyone neglects to do is clean their window screens. And, they’re far more important than your windows!

Here are the urgent reasons why your window screens need to be placed at the top of your list of household things to clean immediately!

Increase the air quality of your home. When a gentle breeze saunters into a room in the house through an open window, if your screen is dirty, you’re letting all sort of allergens into the room and throughout your house. A nice spring or summer breeze wafting through an open window, filling your room with outside air only nice if it’s coming through clean screens.

Contain the growth of mold. Mold is a very real threat to your health and the health of every member of your family. Even though mold isn’t as likely to cause brain damage or serious scarring of the lungs as widely reported int eh past, mold is still harmful to one’s health. It affects your sinuses and seriously mitigates the quality of your indoor air.

Mold only requires some water and organic matter in order to grow. And, this is the stuff that accumulates on your window screens when they are dirty. Add some rain t this moisture and the mold is up and running in its growth. And, as if that isn’t enough, every time the wind blows, spores are likely finding their way into your home as well.

Stay within your household budget. If window cleaning is on your list of household chores to tend to, do you do it yourself or do you have a professional window cleaning service do it for you? While professionals in all trades are typically the best option, you won’t have to have them come to your home to clean your windows as often if you keep your screens clean.

Take a look at your screens right now. Are they laden with grime and dirt? Now, let’s say your window cleaning service is coming over in an hour to clean your windows. How long do you think the beautiful job they will do is going to last? As soon as you open your windows and the slightest of breeze floats inside, it will bring in the dirt and grime that will once again, land on your windows.

So, get more mileage out of your sparkling clean windows and save some money at the same time. Clean your window screens regularly – especially during the spring, summer, and fall when your windows are open much of the time.
