"Pollen is a season, not a week."
— A standing editorial principle for Southern seasonal coverage on this site.
Elly Giordano is part of the Giordano Inc. editorial team and covers the South and Mid-South editorial beat for Window Washing Guide. The articles and state pages under this byline address regional water chemistry across the Southeast (Chattahoochee, Cumberland, Mississippi-source, and Piedmont karst), pine-pollen and seasonal organic-residue patterns that define Southern spring scheduling, heritage residential and historic-glass diagnostics across the region's pre-1925 stock, and the broader seasonal patterns that define window-washing work from the Atlantic Piedmont through the Mid-South.
The operational and conservation details in these pieces are drawn from a combination of practitioner interviews, published trade references, historic-glass conservation literature, and municipal water-quality reports for the relevant supply districts. Where a specific protocol or diagnostic observation appears, it has been reviewed against multiple sources rather than reported from a single operator's experience.
Window Washing Guide is published by Giordano Inc., and the full editorial team — including Derek and JoAnn Giordano — reviews coverage in this beat before publication. Reader correspondence on South and Mid-South topics is welcome through the site contact form.
