Is it safe to use power pressure washers on home windows?

Steam pressure washers are great cleaning tools for both the home as well as the industrial environment. But this is a different version of power pressure washers which uses more of steam than brute machine force to clean. One most common cleaning usage is of course, sofa fabrics, couch covers and carpets etc. As tough as the they are, they too are capable of being gentle with cleaning fabrics of all types.

But this is only part of the story. Did you know that one of the better kept secrets of steam pressure washers is their ability to clean windows? Windows trap a lot of tough dirt, within the joints, at the corners, at the railings, along the frame and all throughout. With the wind come dust, rain dirt, birds discharge, and all these add up to an accumulation of dirt bacteria, and mold which tend to settle themselves on the frames, the railing both inside and outside of the windows.

In addition, many homes use window screens, and this simply adds to the difficulty in cleaning as the netting are often very tight to prevent bugs and little insects from entering through the windows, yet maintaining a good wind flow for ventilation. And if these screens are not cleaned regularly, the accumulation could turn out to be a real assault to the eyes, a much more painful cleaning chore in future, as well as a hazard to health from undesirable bacteria invasion.

Steam pressure washers provide the obvious effective cleaning option as the steam, at about 300 degree heat, is powerful in dissolving the hardened dirt deposits and stubborn stains. Not to mention that the steam has the very efficient task of disinfecting the areas cleaned.

Using the steam version usually means that you do not need to use abrasive detergents to clean the windows and window nets. With harsh chemicals, often enough, they tend to erode the window nets very quickly and also wear down the window glass sealants around the frames. Steam however, does not leave behind hard chemicals on the objects cleaned.

Indeed, the steam pressure washers are the more gentle breed of their power pressure washers counterparts, designed to managed the more difficult and special cleaning tasks that sheer brute force cannot handle.

Hello there... this was a well put informative article. I'm aware of the effects & or advantages of steam cleaning. But most use a simple cheaper model pressure washer, myself included. Now you've got me wanting to go out and invest the extra nickle on a steam washer. Thanks Jamie
