If you thought pollen season ended when you stopped sneezing, think again. Even as summer draws to a close, your windows may still be carrying the evidence of those high pollen counts from earlier in the year.
Pollen has a knack for clinging to surfaces. Add in a few showers of summer rain, and those yellow particles bond to glass, forming a thin, almost invisible film. By August, you may notice your windows look hazy, as though someone’s put a filter over them. Combine that with general dust and traffic pollution, and you’re left with panes that block natural light and spoil your view.
Leaving pollen residue on your windows into autumn means it has months to harden, making it more difficult to remove later. It also traps moisture, which can encourage mould around frames and sills. For anyone with allergies, lingering pollen can continue to irritate long after the season is technically over.
A professional window clean at the end of summer clears away the last of the pollen, restoring clarity to your glass and helping prepare your home for the wetter months ahead. Think of it as clearing away the leftovers of summer so you can start fresh in autumn.
