Spring in Costa Blanca, Spain brings warmer temperatures, increased pollen, and dust carried by coastal winds. Now is the perfect time to refresh your home's windows, solar panels, and outdoor surfaces to keep them looking great and functioning efficiently.


1. Sparkling Clean Windows for the Sunny Season


With pollen, sea salt, and dust in the air, your windows may look dirtier than usual after winter. A thorough clean will:

  • Remove built-up grime for clearer views and more natural light.

  • Eliminate hard water stains from rain and sprinkler systems.

  • Prevent long-term damage caused by salt and minerals.


Tip: For hard-to-reach windows, professional cleaning ensures a streak-free finish without risking safety.

2. Solar Panel Cleaning for Maximum Efficiency


Costa Blanca enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year, but dirty solar panels can lose efficiency due to dust, bird droppings, and pollen buildup.

  • Clean panels allow more sunlight to be absorbed.

  • Prevent damage from corrosive substances like bird droppings.

  • Extend the lifespan of your solar investment.


Tip: Cleaning with the wrong products (like tap water or harsh chemicals) can leave residue and reduce efficiency—pure water cleaning is the best method.

3. Jet Washing for a Fresh Outdoor Look


Winter rain and humidity can cause a buildup of algae, moss, and dirt on outdoor surfaces like driveways, patios, and walls.

  • Restore paving stones, terraces, and pool areas to their original look.

  • Remove slippery moss and algae for better safety.

  • Enhance the curb appeal of your home before summer gatherings.


Tip: Avoid DIY pressure washing on delicate surfaces like tiles or stone, as too much pressure can cause damage.


4. Clean Shutters, Awnings, and Fascias


Dust, insects, and salty air can make your persianas (shutters), awnings, and fascias look worn out. A deep clean will:

  • Improve the look of your home's exterior.

  • Prevent mold and dirt from accumulating in hard-to-reach spots.

  • Extend the lifespan of your awnings and shutters.


5. Prepare for Pollen and Allergy Season


Spring in Costa Blanca often means high pollen levels, leading to sticky, yellow dust covering windows and outdoor surfaces.

  • Regular window cleaning helps keep pollen from sticking and accumulating.

  • Jet washing patios and terraces reduces dust and allergens.

  • Cleaning solar panels prevents pollen buildup from blocking sunlight.


Final Thoughts


Spring is the ideal time for a deep exterior clean, getting your home ready for the hot and dry summer months. Regular window, solar panel, and jet washing maintenance not only improves appearance but also protects your home’s surfaces from long-term damage.
