Ravine-backing homes: If your property backs onto the Highland Creek ravine or Rouge Valley, your rear windows face heavy organic exposure — pollen, sap, seeds, raccoon and bird droppings, and higher humidity from the creek. These homes need 2-3 cleanings per year (vs 1-2 for non-ravine homes). The rear elevation is always dirtier than the front. Tell your cleaner about ravine access — some rear windows require creative approach routes through gardens and around decks.
UTSC corridor: Homes along Military Trail near UTSC face increased foot traffic dust and construction activity from ongoing campus expansion. The good news: once campus construction completes, dust exposure drops significantly. For now, homes within 500m of campus benefit from 2x/year cleaning instead of the standard 1x.
