Gwinnett County, Georgia Fall Home Cleaning Guide (Stuck Pollen, Joro Spiders, Clogged Gutters)

Prepare for the Holidays

Autumn in Gwinnett County means cooler weather, more rain, and a lot of leaves coming down fast. It’s the time when pollen, dust, and debris from earlier in the year start to settle in for good if they’re not cleaned off. Gutters clog up, mildew sets in, and dirty windows just get harder to deal with once winter hits. Taking care of it now helps prevent damage, keeps your home looking good, and saves you from bigger problems when the colder months roll in.

Remove pollen stuck on exterior windows before the colder months

In Gwinnett County, tree pollen, especially from pines, oaks, and birches, can still linger well into the fall, long after the spring bloom. That fine yellow powder settles on windows, screens, and siding, where it mixes with dust and moisture. If it isn’t cleaned off before the cooler months, it can harden or stain surfaces, making it harder to remove after winter. Moisture from rain or frost can also cause the pollen to streak or cake onto glass, leaving behind a film that dulls natural light indoors. A thorough fall cleaning helps prevent buildup from becoming a long-term issue and keeps your home looking clear and well-maintained heading into the holidays. The team at Wizard & Glass removes that buildup with detailed exterior window cleaning that clears away residue before it becomes a bigger problem, keeping your home bright and clean through the colder months.

Clear Joro spider webs from high-traffic areas

In the fall, many homeowners start to notice large, golden webs appearing around windows, porches, and rooflines, often the work of Joro spiders. These spiders, originally from East Asia, have become increasingly common in North Georgia and are especially active in late summer and early fall. While harmless, their expansive webs can stretch several feet and collect leaves, debris, and insects, making homes look messy and unkempt. We regularly remove these webs as part of our window cleaning service, clearing up hard-to-reach corners and restoring your home’s exterior.

Clean gutters before the fall storms

Cleaning your gutters in the fall is one of the most important steps to protect your home before winter. As leaves, pine needles, and debris collect, they can clog the gutters and downspouts, preventing proper drainage. When that happens, rainwater has nowhere to go and can spill over the edges, potentially damaging your roof, siding, or foundation. In colder months, trapped water can freeze and cause even more damage, leading to cracks or ice dams. Regular gutter cleaning helps prevent these issues, keeps water flowing away from your home, and reduces the risk of costly repairs down the line. We offer gutter cleaning as an add-on to our regular window cleaning services.

Pressure Washing

Fall is an ideal time for pressure washing, especially in Gwinnett County, where the humid summer leaves behind layers of mildew, pollen, and grime. Patios, walkways, siding, and driveways can all collect buildup that becomes harder to clean once temperatures drop. If left untreated, this buildup can lead to staining, slippery surfaces, and even damage as organic material breaks down or freezes. A professional pressure wash clears all that away, leaving your exterior surfaces clean, safe, and ready for the winter season. It also helps your home look refreshed before the holidays, when guests are more likely to stop by. Like gutter cleaning, we offer pressure washing as an add-on.
