Winter can be tough on your home’s exterior. Between wet weather, falling leaves, and that stubborn layer of grime building up, it’s easy for your windows and outdoor spaces to lose their sparkle. But the good news? A little mid-winter refresh can make a world of difference.
Here are our favourite at-home tips for keeping your windows and outdoor surfaces clean — and how to know when it’s time to call in the pros at Jim’s.
Believe it or not, sunny days aren’t ideal for window cleaning. The sun can dry your cleaner too quickly, leaving streaks. Instead:
✅ Pick a cool, overcast day.
✅ Start with a simple solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap.
✅ Wipe down with a microfiber cloth or squeegee for a streak-free finish.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget your window tracks and frames—they can harbour hidden dirt and mould during winter.
A good pressure wash can revive tired-looking patios, driveways, and decks. For smaller areas, try:
✅ A stiff broom and a bucket of hot soapy water for spot cleaning.
✅ For moss or algae, mix equal parts water and white vinegar to gently scrub.
Heads up: Home pressure washers are fine for light cleaning, but too much pressure can damage surfaces or force water into unwanted places.
Winter rain can clog gutters with leaves and debris, leading to overflow and staining.
✅ Wear gloves and scoop out debris.
✅ Flush gutters with a garden hose to check for blockages.
Some outdoor cleaning jobs are easy to tackle on your own, but others? Not so much. Think hard-to-reach windows, stubborn moss that just won’t budge, or grime that needs more than a bucket and broom.
That’s when bringing in a professional can save you time (and a sore back). With the right equipment and know-how, they can:
✔️ Reach tricky skylights and second-storey windows safely
✔️ Gently remove built-up dirt, mould, and algae without causing damage
✔️ Give your home’s exterior a fresh, clean feel—just in time for spring
Because there’s nothing quite like coming home to a place that feels bright, refreshed, and ready for the season ahead.
Ready for that satisfying before-and-after? Book your clean now.
