Hard water stains
Gleaming Glass, Clear View.
Clean windows 2–4 times per year. Coastal homes may need more frequent cleaning due to salt buildup.
Ask for screens and tracks to be included. Clean windows with dirty tracks and screens still look bad.
Hard water stains need restoration. Sprinkler overspray and mineral deposits can etch glass if left too long.
Solar panel cleaning is worth it. Dirty panels can lose 10–25% efficiency. Clean 1–2 times per year, more near construction or dust.
Check for insurance. Any work on ladders or roofs requires liability insurance. High-rise work requires specialized safety certifications.
Schedule after construction or painting. New windows often have paint, plaster, and sticker residue that pros remove safely.
Use pure water for spot-free results. Many pro window cleaners use water-fed poles with deionized water for streak-free finishes.
Interior and exterior window cleaning runs $10–$16 per pane. A single-story whole house is $180–$300. A two-story home is $300–$500. Screen cleaning adds $4–$8 per screen. Solar panel cleaning is $7–$12 per panel.
Most homes benefit from 2–4 cleanings per year. Coastal homes near the ocean should be cleaned more often due to salt. Homes near construction or dust may also need more frequent service.
For ground-floor windows, DIY is fine with quality supplies. For second-story windows, hard water stains, solar panels, or large homes, professionals are safer and faster with better results.
Some companies include basic screen cleaning; others charge extra. Always ask if screens, tracks, and sills are included in the quote. Full-service companies like Paneless and Clear View typically include these.
Light stains can be removed with vinegar or a specialized glass polish. Severe mineral buildup requires professional restoration or glass polishing. Gleaming Glass and Clear View specialize in this.
Yes — many window cleaners also offer solar panel cleaning. Solar Panel Cleaning SD and Sparkling Solar specialize in it. Regular cleaning improves panel efficiency, especially in dusty areas.
Reputable window cleaners carry liability insurance and workers' compensation. Always ask for proof of insurance before hiring for high-rise or ladder work.
