Stains are caused by the following situations: Sprinkler Stain: This stain. is caused by a sprinkler system placed to close to the glass. The spray is directed in such a way that it hits the glass on a- regular basis. These stains can also be developed from winds that blow the water on the glass over a period of time. Calcium, salts or magnesium from the local water system cause most sprinkler stains. Condensation Stain: This stain is caused by water collecting under the first few inches of a window frame along the top. The sun does not evaporate the morning dew and over time this can cause a stain. Condensation stain can also be caused by broken window seals. In cases where the seal is broken the window can not be cleaned to a spotless shine. In this case, window replacement is your only option. Building Run-off Stain: The minerals present in building materials such as limestone, Portland cement, brick or other materials leaching on to the glass surface after rains cause this stain. Chemical Stain: This stain is caused by chemical residue from certain cleaning solutions left to dry on the surface or reaction from the chemical upon application. Insufficient rinsing from power washing is notorious for leaving this type of stain which appears as a haze over the majority of the glass surface. Screen Burn: Some windows have what is known as "screen burn" which can appear as anything from small water spots to a heavy gray or rust-colored haze on the outside of the glass. This occurs as a result of rain water passing through the screen and depositing oxidized metal onto the glass. These deposits do not wash or scrape off, and a special treatment must be used to restore the glass to its original shine. The lack of a regular maintenance program allows minerals and chemicals to etch or build up on the glass surface and if left untreated will cause permanent damage. The cost of removal can be substantial, although it is much less than the cost of replacement. Many times it is not possible to discover the full extent of damage or determine the price of removal until a Standard Cleaning is performed and viewed by the customer and window cleaning contractor. We will inspect the project with you to confirm the stains and perform tests in areas agreed upon by the you to determine to what extent the stains can be removed.
