Frequently Asked Questions: Window Cleaning
Sunlight is a precious resource around Tacoma, and many of us take advantage of every little ray that peeks through the clouds in our three seasons of overcast skies. One of the most effective ways to let the sunshine in is to have clean windows. Sparkling, streak-free windows make the perfect canvas for your view out to your yard, and give your living spaces their best chance to shine in all the natural light they can get! If you’ve ever wondered about the ins and outs of having your windows cleaned, we’ve got answers to all of your questions right here!
Can you clean the insides and outsides of the windows?
Yes! We are happy to tailor our window cleaning services to just what you need. Inside, outside, or both - we’ve got you covered!
How is window cleaning priced?
Window cleaning is priced by the size and number of panes to be cleaned. A pane is a solid section of glass within a window. Some windows are just one pane, but many windows consist of two or more individual panes. If you are curious about pricing for your exact windows, check out our free quote tool!
How do you clean window screens?
For standard window cleaning, we brush the screens to remove loose dirt and give them a quick refresh. If you’d like your screens to really shine, then we can run them through our screen washer. The screen washer is a pair of brushes with water running through them, and the screen is carefully passed between the brushes until every nook and cranny of both the screen and its frame is free from dirt and grime. If you haven’t ever had your screens washed, you will be amazed by the difference in your view after they are cleaned like this!
What is that big pole brush that you use on exterior windows?
The pole brush is called a water-fed pole, and it allows us to quickly and effectively clean certain exterior windows, especially in hard-to-reach areas. As we scrub windows with the brush, special deionized water runs through the bristles to wash away dirt and grime. The deionized water then dries spot-free for crystal clear windows.
How often should I have my windows cleaned?
The simple answer is to have them cleaned when they start to look dirty! A more exact answer is that it really depends on your home or business and the conditions around it. Windows near construction, smoke, pollen, pets, or kids are likely to get dirtier faster. Windows under overhanging eaves or porches might stay cleaner longer. If you live in Tacoma or UP, and are looking for your windows to be consistently clean without having to schedule repeated cleanings, consider our Monthly Mini Window Cleaning service. This service costs $95 and lets you pick up to 20 of your ground floor window panes to get a pre-scheduled exterior cleaning every four weeks so that they are always shining bright! We may be building a route near you, so reach out for more details if you are interested :)
What if my windows have paint overspray on them?
We can help! We use a razor blade and super fine steel wool to carefully remove paint residue from your windows without scratching the glass.
What if my windows have solar tinting or privacy film?
Please tell us! We often choose different tools to clean windows with films or tints so that we don’t scratch or damage the delicate covering.
Can you clean other glass like mirrors and glass railings?
We’ve got you covered for any glass in and around your home. We often clean glass railings, awnings, mirrors, shower doors, and more. No more wrestling with paper towels and spray cleaners - let us use our professional tools and techniques to clean your glass for you.
