First House Wash

After using a pressure washer for almost 18 years I washed my first house today. It's built with "Arkansas Stone" lime stone I guess. I used a bleach and Jomax mix. I used much more bleach than the 3 quarts to 5 gallons of water as suggested on the Jomax bottle. There was a lot of mildew and the suggested Jomax mix wouldn't clean it. Here's what I finally used, 1 qt. of Jomax, 4 gal. of 6% bleach, 1 cup of Dawn. The house looks real good with the exception of the windows. They look extreemly nasty. Is this normal to have to clean the windows after a house wash or did I do something wrong? I used hot water and thought I rinsed real well.
Thanks,

i cant help much with this one,never did a stone house. Did you use a downstreamer,x-jet, or shur-flo system to get the chem. on the house?
 
I always add a few generous squirts of "Pure Rinse" Liquid Cascade into my mix, and it really helps with the glass.
 
Thanks guys but I think Bigboy hit the nail on the head on another board. I let the mixture dry on the windows. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to see.
Thanks,
