Professional Interior & Exterior Window Cleaning
Clean windows can make a noticeable difference in how your home or business looks and feels. Dirt, pollen, dust, fingerprints, water spots, and everyday buildup can leave glass looking cloudy, streaked, and neglected.
Hydro Shine provides professional interior and exterior window cleaning using the right tools and techniques for each side of the glass. Inside, we use professional mop-and-squeegee methods to clean the glass without leaving streaks. Outside, we use purified, deionized water with a professional water-fed pole system to clean and rinse the glass without leaving behind the mineral residue found in ordinary tap water.
We also offer screen cleaning and interior track and sill cleaning for customers who want a more complete window cleaning. Every estimate is customized to the number, type, and condition of your windows and the level of cleaning you'd like.
What Is Making Your Windows Look Dirty?
Windows are exposed to the elements every day, and the glass gradually collects more than most people realize. Dirt, pollen, dust, fingerprints, water spots, and other buildup can reduce the clarity of the glass and make an otherwise clean home or business look neglected.
Dirt, Dust & Everyday Buildup
Interior glass can collect dust, fingerprints, pet nose prints, cooking residue, and everyday household buildup. Exterior windows are exposed to pollen, dirt, insects, rain, and environmental debris that can gradually leave the glass looking dull.
Water Spots & Mineral Buildup
When water dries on exterior glass, it can leave behind minerals that create spots or a cloudy appearance. Irrigation systems, sprinklers, and hard water can make this buildup especially noticeable.
Hard-to-Reach Windows
Second- and third-story windows, windows above landscaping, and other difficult-to-access areas can be challenging to clean safely with traditional equipment. A professional water-fed pole system allows us to reach many of these windows from the ground.
Clean glass isn't just about wiping it down. The tools, water quality, access, and technique all affect the finished result—which is why we approach interior and exterior windows differently.
Why Professional Window Cleaning Is About More Than Just the Glass
Clean windows aren't simply about making the glass look better. The equipment, water quality, technique, and condition of the surrounding window components all affect the finished result.
Interior & Exterior Require Different Techniques
Interior windows are cleaned using professional mop-and-squeegee techniques, while exterior windows are cleaned with purified, deionized water and a water-fed pole system. Using the appropriate method for each side allows us to clean effectively while reducing streaks and mineral residue.
Purified Water Makes a Difference
Ordinary tap water contains minerals that can remain behind when water dries on glass. Our exterior water-fed system uses deionized water, allowing us to rinse the glass without leaving those minerals behind.
The Details Matter
Glass is only part of the window. Screens, tracks, and sills can collect their own layer of dust, dirt, pollen, and debris. For customers who want a more complete cleaning, we offer screen cleaning and interior track and sill cleaning as additional options.
Our goal isn't just to make the glass look clean when we're finished. It's to provide a thorough, professional window cleaning based on what your windows actually need.
How We Clean Your Windows
1. Inspect the Windows & Determine What They Need
We start by looking at the windows, the type of glass and panes, and the overall condition of the windows. We'll also consider whether screens, interior tracks and sills, or other areas need additional attention so we can provide an estimate based on what your property actually needs.
2. Clean the Interior Glass
For interior windows, we use professional mop-and-squeegee techniques. We use different sizes of applicators and squeegees depending on the size and configuration of the glass, allowing us to properly clean everything from standard panes to more detailed French panes.
3. Clean the Exterior Glass
For exterior windows, we use a professional water-fed pole system with purified, deionized water. The water-fed brush loosens dirt and buildup from the glass, while the purified water allows us to rinse the windows without leaving behind the mineral residue found in ordinary tap water.
4. Clean Screens, Tracks & Sills When Requested
For customers looking for a more complete window cleaning, we also offer screen cleaning and interior track and sill cleaning. These services are available as additional options and can be included in your customized estimate.
5. Final Rinse, Inspection & Cleanup
Once the windows are cleaned, we inspect the finished glass and surrounding areas to make sure everything looks the way it should. We also clean up after ourselves, leaving your home or business ready to enjoy without a mess left behind.
Every property is a little different. That's why we customize the estimate and cleaning approach based on the number, type, condition, and accessibility of your windows.
What Should You Expect From Professional Window Cleaning?
When we're finished, your windows should look noticeably cleaner and clearer, with dirt, dust, pollen, fingerprints, water spots, and other surface buildup removed from the glass.
A Cleaner View
Professional window cleaning can make a noticeable difference in how much natural light comes through your windows and how clean your home or business looks from both inside and outside.
Some Stains May Need More Than Cleaning
Regular window cleaning can remove surface dirt and buildup, but it cannot always remove permanent mineral deposits, etched glass, or damage that has already occurred. If we notice something that may require additional treatment, we'll let you know rather than promising that routine cleaning will remove it.
French Panes Take More Time
French panes contain smaller individual sections of glass, which require more detailed cleaning than a standard pane. Because of the additional time involved, they are handled differently when we prepare your estimate.
Our 3-Day Rain Guarantee
We know weather is outside anyone's control, but we don't want a little rain to leave you wondering about the quality of your window cleaning. If it rains within three days of your service and your windows are left dirty or affected by the rain, let us know and we'll come back and re-clean them at no additional charge.
Your Windows Should Stay Cleaner Longer
How long your windows stay clean depends on factors such as weather, pollen, nearby trees, irrigation, and the condition of the glass. Regular professional cleaning can help keep buildup from becoming difficult to remove and keep your windows looking their best.
Our goal is simple: clean, clear windows and a finished job we're proud to stand behind. If something isn't right after we're finished, we'll make it right.
FAQs
How much does professional window cleaning cost?
1
The cost of window cleaning depends on the number of windows, the size and type of the panes, accessibility, and the level of cleaning you'd like. French panes, screens, and interior track and sill cleaning can all require additional time, so we provide a customized estimate based on your property.
Do You Clean Both Interior and Exterior Windows?
2
Yes. We provide both interior and exterior window cleaning. Interior windows are cleaned using professional mop-and-squeegee techniques, while exterior windows are cleaned using purified, deionized water and our water-fed pole system.
Do You Clean French Pane Windows?
3
Yes. We clean French pane windows, but they require more detailed work because each individual section of glass needs to be cleaned. We'll account for the additional time when preparing your estimate.
Do You Clean Window Screens?
4
Yes. Screen cleaning is available as an additional service. We can remove, clean, and replace your screens as part of your customized window cleaning.
Do You Clean Window Tracks and Sills?
5
Yes. Interior track and sill cleaning is available for customers who want more than just the glass cleaned. We'll discuss the available options when preparing your estimate.
Can You Clean Hard-to-Reach Windows?
6
In many cases, yes. Our exterior water-fed pole system allows us to clean many windows from the ground, including many second- and third-story windows and windows that would otherwise be difficult to reach safely.
Can You Remove Hard-Water Spots?
7
Regular window cleaning can remove dirt and surface buildup, but some hard-water stains and mineral deposits can become bonded to or etched into the glass. If additional treatment may be necessary, we'll evaluate the glass and let you know what can realistically be improved.
How Often Should I Have My Windows Cleaned?
8
There isn't one schedule that works for every property. Factors such as nearby trees, pollen, weather, irrigation, and the amount of buildup your windows receive all play a role. Many homeowners choose to have their windows professionally cleaned once or twice a year, while others schedule service based on how quickly their windows become dirty.
