RE: [World] Screen Burn?

I’m surprised you’re running into it more instead of less. I’m also a bit confused as to how you know screen burn is what you’re dealing with if you don’t know what it is. Screen burn is, essentially, metal oxide staining on the glass caused by weather and metal screens. These days more and more people have non metallic screens so you don’t see it as often.  If the windows on a particular home are newer windows and the screens are not metallic … you are dealing with a different issue. Other possibilities are aluminum oxidation from frames or siding, hard water deposits from the sprinkler system and/or calcium deposits from concrete or brick mortar. How sure are you about what the problem is?

Can someone explain again, in detail, what exactly screen burn is. I am looking for a way to effectively convey to customers what it is and why it takes longer to clean than standard window cleaning. I am running into it more and more lately on true divided window panes and it is very time consuming trying to remove it. I was wondering if others charge accordingly for the labor involved in removing it.

 

Thank you.
