SO45 · Hampshire
Hythe sits right on Southampton Water, and that position defines the place — the Promenade and its raised boardwalk, the pier and ferry across to the city, and the Marina's fishing-village-style development with far more glass per property than a standard house. Sitting on the water is lovely. It is also hard on windows.
Properties facing Southampton Water pick up airborne salt. It dries into a fine film that ordinary rain doesn't shift — in fact rain often makes it worse, leaving a hazed, spotted finish once it evaporates. Salt film is also mildly hygroscopic, so it pulls moisture and keeps glass looking dull even on a dry day. Pure-water cleaning is the right answer because it lifts the salt rather than smearing it, and it dries without leaving minerals of its own behind. Waterfront and Marina properties here typically want a shorter interval than an inland home — the difference is visible within a few weeks rather than a few months.
