ADDITIONAL CLEANING SERVICES
Are you one of the many Central Oregonians harnessing the power of the sun by utilizing solar panels to cut the costs of heating and providing electricity to your home or business? If so, are you having them regularly cleaned? Are you aware that:
- Over time, solar panels will collect dirt, debris, etc… causing them to become dirty.
- Studies have proven that when dirty, the potential output of your solar panels is reduced by about 30%. A study done by Google at their own facilities, showed that cleaning their panels resulted in a doubling of those panels’ energy output.
- Most solar panels are designed to last 30 years; however, over time dirt, dust, bird droppings, etc. can accumulate and actually become baked onto the glass protecting your panels and lower the energy output.
- Many solar panel manufacturers actually require regular cleaning of your solar panels to maintain all conditions of the warranty.
The solution to these issues is simple...call Crystal Clear Cleaning to have us come take care of the cleaning. We use our innovative system that utilizes water in its purest form, to clean your panels and leave them clean ten times longer. We use no chemicals or detergents that may leave a residue on your panels that will only attract future particulates to your panels. Using our purified water-fed pole systems offers you peace of mind in many ways:
- Your panels stay cleaner longer (no chemicals or detergents).
- No ground water is used, which in Central Oregon, will eventually lead to mineral deposits on your panels (effectively clouding the glass permanently).
- It’s safer! We are able to use telescoping poles to reach your panels, so we are not even touching or leaning on the panels.
- It’s environmentally-friendly! Seems silly to use a product that might be potentially damaging to the environment on a product designed to help the environment, doesn’t it?
- Longer life for your panels. Replacing your solar panels can be costly. Protect the life of your investment, by keeping them clean.
Maintaining clean gutters should be an essential part of your home maintenance schedule. We at Crystal Clear Cleaning will hand clean your gutters, scooping out all the debris and removing it from your property. (Although we have a number of clients that request we leave it on their property, so they can add it to their compost piles.) Once we have actually removed all the debris, then we will run water through your gutters to ensure the downspouts are free flowing.
Water spotting is a term used to refer to the spotting that appears on your glass over time from the minerals and silicates in our ground water. Water left on your glass will eventually evaporate away, leaving the mineral deposits behind. Initially, you may not even notice that the minerals are accruing, and may even just assume your window is dirty. However, if left alone, the deposits will eventually begin to build into a thick white layer of crust. It will continue to build, giving your glass a hazy and thick texture. If dealt with early on, mineral deposits can be fairly easily removed. If left alone for an extended period of time, they can eventually actually etch in to the pores of the glass. The sun’s intensity can also work to help to “bake” the deposits on the glass. Left alone too long, and they become nearly impossible to remove, leaving replacement of the windows as your only option to be able to see through your windows again.
Our crew will determine which method to utilize to remove the spots on your glass in the most effective manner. Caught early enough, we may be able to remove the spots manually with some extra elbow grease; however, more stubborn stains may require a chemical restoration to get rid of those obnoxious spots obscuring your views.
Although we have been assisting our longtime clients with basic property maintenance and caretakers’ assistance for years, we have only recently added it to the list of our many services available.
