So You Bought the House with the View, but the Salt Is Killing It: Why Our Window Cleaning Works for You
Living by the coast in stunning locations like Yallingup, Prevelly, or Busselton has its perks—breathtaking views, fresh sea breezes, and a relaxed lifestyle. But every homeowner battles one downside: salt buildup. Coastal homes face unique challenges as salt crystals accumulate on windows, spoiling the view and slowly damaging the glass and frames.
At Santech, we specialise in professional window cleaning tailored to coastal living, ensuring your home not only looks amazing but is also protected from the harsh effects of salt exposure.
How Salt Damages Your Windows and Home
Salt buildup isn’t just unsightly; it can cause long-term damage to your home:
Weakens Glass and Frames: Over time, salt crystals corrode window glass and frames, leading to potential leaks.
Blocks Natural Light: Layers of salt create a cloudy film, reducing the amount of light entering your home.
Wider Impact: Salt also affects other areas, such as glass pool fences, solar panels, cladding, and balustrades, leading to extensive wear and tear without proper cleaning.
If left untreated, salt can compromise the integrity of your windows and other outdoor surfaces, costing you more in the long run.
Why We Recommend Water-Fed Pole Cleaning
For our coastal clients, we use a water-fed pole system to effectively combat salt damage. This specialised tool combines purified, deionised (demineralised) water with an extendable pole and brush, ensuring a safe, eco-friendly, and streak-free finish.
The Benefits of Our Water-Fed Pole Cleaning:
Sparkling Results: Purified water leaves no streaks or cloudy film, ensuring your windows look their best.
No Harsh Chemicals: It’s completely safe for your family, pets, plants, and the environment—no detergents needed.
Reach Hard-to-Access Windows: Even second-story windows or tricky spots are easy to clean with this system.
Enhanced Safety: Technicians can clean high windows from the ground, reducing the risk of falls or injuries.
Efficient and Fast: This method saves time while delivering flawless results.
Our Water-Fed Pole system proves how effective and versatile it is for all windows, removing salt buildup and leaving coastal homes with streak-free views
How Often Should You Clean Coastal Windows?
For homes in high-salt areas like Yallingup, Prevelly, and Busselton, we recommend professional window cleaning every 3 to 6 months.
Regular maintenance:
Prevents salt buildup from causing long-term damage.
Ensures you always enjoy the stunning views coastal living offers.
Saves money by extending the life of your windows and outdoor surfaces.
A Recent Success Story
One of our recent clients had a beautiful two-story home right on the coast, complete with stunning ocean views. Unfortunately, saltwater stains had built up significantly on the windows, completely blocking the scenery.
Using our water-fed pole system, we thoroughly cleaned the exterior windows, including the frames and fly screens. We then moved inside to finish the job with spotless interior windows and tracks. By the end, the client’s home was glowing, and their view was restored to its full glory.
Beyond Windows: Protecting Your Entire Home
Salt exposure doesn’t just affect windows. Other key areas of your property can also suffer without regular cleaning:
Glass Pool Fences and Balustrades: These can quickly become cloudy and corroded.
Solar Panels: Salt reduces efficiency, costing you energy and money.
Cladding and Exterior Surfaces: Materials like Colorbond and Zincalume are popular but require maintenance to prevent salt-induced damage.
We recommend scheduling regular exterior cleaning for all parts of your home to protect your investment and keep everything looking its best.
Our soft wash system for exterior surfaces like cladding is safe and effective in removing salt buildup.
