Window Cleaning FAQs
Have questions about window cleaning? We’ve got answers.
From how often your windows should be cleaned to the effectiveness and safety of our cleaning solutions, our FAQ section covers everything you need to know to keep your windows spotless and your mind at ease.
1. How often should I have my windows professionally cleaned?
In the Central Valley, we recommend professional window cleaning every 3 to 6 months. The region’s harvest dust, hard water, and high sun exposure can damage your glass over time. Quarterly maintenance helps prevent buildup and keeps your windows crystal clear year-round.
2. What is included in a standard window cleaning service?
Our standard exterior window cleaning includes a thorough wash using deionized water, a 40-foot water-fed pole for second stories, soft-brush agitation, and a spotless rinse. Sills and window frames are included in every clean, and we offer screen cleaning as an optional flat-rate add-on.
3. Do you clean both interior and exterior windows?
We currently focus exclusively on exterior window cleaning. This approach is designed to prevent long-term damage from hard water stains and dust buildup, which are common in the Central Valley. It also allows us to deliver faster, more efficient service without disrupting your home. Our service includes screens and exterior tracks when applicable.
4. Can you remove hard water stains from windows?
We specialize in preventing hard water stains. However, baked-in calcium buildup that has chemically bonded to the glass is often permanent. Our regular service prevents these stains from ever forming in the first place.
5. What methods do you use for window cleaning?
We use a deionized water purification system, paired with a soft-bristle brush and water-fed pole. This ensures a streak-free finish without the need for chemicals or ladders in most cases.
6. Are your cleaning solutions safe for pets and plants?
Yes — we use purified water, not chemicals. Our cleaning process is 100% eco-friendly and safe for children, pets, and landscaping.
7. Do you clean window screens and tracks?
Yes. We offer screen cleaning as a flat-rate add-on and can rinse out tracks upon request.
8. How long does a typical window cleaning appointment take?
Most residential homes take 1 to 2 hours, depending on size and window count. Larger properties or add-ons (like solar or gutters) may take longer.
9. Do I need to be home during the window cleaning service?
Not at all. As long as we have access to the property, we can complete the service and send you a confirmation with before-and-after photos.
10. What precautions do you take to protect my property during cleaning?
We use ladders sparingly and work from the ground with telescoping poles when possible. Our team is trained in soft-touch methods to avoid scratching or damaging surfaces. Just make sure all windows are fully closed and that we have access to a hose spigot — that helps us get the job done quickly and efficiently.
