How Do I Clean Wood Casement Windows?

Season 1 · Episode 3

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 33:07

Wood casement windows bring timeless elegance to homes, but beneath their classic charm lies a maintenance challenge that most property owners don't fully understand until problems arise. In this revealing conversation between AC Lockyer and window cleaning veteran Jeremiah Gibson, we dive deep into the hidden world of wood window care and preservation.

The discussion tackles common cleaning misconceptions head-on, explaining why popular consumer products often disappoint and how proper maintenance requires attention to every component of the window. You'll learn professional techniques for cleaning divided light windows without damaging delicate glazing or transferring oxidized paint onto glass surfaces. Jeremiah walks through step-by-step approaches for both DIY enthusiasts and those considering professional services.

Perhaps most valuable is the revelation about making windows stay cleaner longer through hydrophobic treatments like Final Wash. This specialty coating creates a barrier that repels dust and dirt – similar to ceramic coatings for automobiles – significantly extending the time between cleanings and preserving your window's appearance.

How Do I Clean Hardie Board Siding?

Season 1 · Episode 2

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 26:15

Expert cleaners AC Lockyer and John Buchholz reveal the secrets to properly maintaining Hardie Board Siding, especially in challenging coastal environments. They break down why pressure washing damages this popular siding material and share professional techniques that sanitize surfaces while preserving their integrity.

• Hardie Board Siding offers the aesthetic of traditional wood without vulnerability to termites and wood-destroying organisms
• Coastal environments create unique challenges with constant moisture, salt spray, and UV damage accelerating deterioration
• North-facing surfaces typically suffer from mold and algae growth while southern/western sides experience UV damage and oxidation
• Pressure washing causes permanent damage to Hardie Board Siding, creating distinctive "Mark of Zorro" patterns
• Professional "soft washing" uses specialized chemicals (Trinity Mix) to achieve 99.8% kill ratio against organic growth
• Addressing oxidation requires a manual brushing technique similar to car detailing, not just chemical application
• Coastal homes should be cleaned every 12-18 months, while beachfront properties may need quarterly maintenance
• DIY cleaning is possible but time-intensive—what professionals can complete in 2-4 hours might take homeowners weeks
• Proper maintenance can prevent the need to paint Hardie Board siding for the lifetime of the home

How Do I Clean Windows?

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, April 1, 2025 • Duration 31:20

We dive into the fascinating world of professional window cleaning with AC Lockyer and expert Denver Klassen of Denver's Window Cleaning, exploring techniques from traditional squeegee methods to modern pure water systems. Denver shares his 19 years of industry knowledge to help property owners understand the best approaches for maintaining their windows.

• Window cleaning involves more than just glass—frames, sills, screens, gaskets, and casements all require attention.
• Traditional window cleaning uses a scrubber/mop and squeegee technique requiring artistry and muscle memory.
• The ideal soap-to-water ratio starts at one tablespoon per gallon, adjusting based on how the squeegee glides.
• Pure water window cleaning uses zero TDS water that naturally attracts dirt without chemicals.
• Water-fed poles enable cleaning windows up to seven stories high while keeping feet safely on the ground.
• Understanding hydrophobic versus hydrophilic glass properties affects your cleaning approach and results.
• Windows represent a major investment in buildings—often $50,000-$100,000 in a home—making proper maintenance essential.
