For a standard 1,000-square-foot home, you should expect your window cleaner to take between 1 and 3 hours to clean all of your windows. Of course, the size of your home and the number and size of the windows you have will play a role in the timeline. Certain styles of windows—like picture windows, which have no moving parts—also take less time to clean.

There are a few qualifying questions you can ask a professional window cleaner to help you decide if it’s the right company for you:

• Does your price include the inside and outside of the windows?

• Will you clean the tracks, rails, and other internal components?

• Are you fully insured?

• How many years of experience do you have?

• What kind of cleaning products do you use?

• Do you have any customer references?

• Do you provide any other services, like exterior power washing?

Avoid any abrasive tools, like rough cloths or steel wool, which can permanently scratch and damage your windows. Hard water can leave spots or streaks, so distilled or filtered water is usually preferred. Finally, check if your windows have any special features, like tinting, as this may impact what type of cleaning solution to use.

Professionals use pH-balanced solutions, fabric protectors, and safe steam cleaning technology for specific fabrics. These products are designed to break down dirt effectively without leaving residues.
