Common Window Cleaning Service Questions

Finding a quality professional window cleaning service is much like finding any other vetted home pro: You should ask friends and family members who you trust for recommendations for window washers in your area and check online ratings. Reading a company’s reviews will give you a lot of insight into the service you can expect. Then, check their credentials and contact them to get a quote. Be sure to ask questions about their process and the products they use to get your windows to shine.

Professional window cleaners typically either use a commercial window cleaning solution or make their own by adding some liquid dish soap to warm water. The sudsy water that results will cut through grease, grime, dirt, and pollen, and provided the ratio is correct and the solution doesn’t dry on the window, it will leave your glass crystal clear and free of streaks. Some cleaners also add some white vinegar to the solution if they need to remove hard water stains.

Distilled white vinegar removes stickers from glass by breaking down the adhesive with its acidic qualities. You can apply the vinegar to the area with a sponge or cleaning cloth. Let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes, and then scrape the area with a plastic scraper or the edge of a credit card.

Costs depend on window count, height, accessibility, labor, and whether interior and exterior cleaning is required.

One of the best professional cleaning solutions that won’t leave streaks is one gallon of distilled or bottled water mixed with 2 to 4 teaspoons of dish soap. Apply using a sponge in a figure-eight motion, and then use a squeegee to remove the majority of the water and soap. You can finish drying with a piece of old black-and-white newspaper to remove any residue for a streak-free clean every time.
