- Are you cleaning everyday dust from you windows? Believe it or not, regular dish soap will do.
- Do you have hard water stains? One part CLR to 5 parts water “works” but the CLR can damage any other surfaces it comes in contact with (you have been warned). A safer solution is use the vinegar here (vinegar is slow to work so you may have to let it “soak” in).
- Have you grilled close to the windows and the smoke and soot are building up on your windows? Windex generously applied with a scrubber (also know as a T bar) and removed with a squeegee will work nicely!
As the minimum wage goes up, so does the amount a good window cleaner can ask. Newbies usually start around Minimum plus $.50.

From company to company this answer can be different. Also, the condition of the windows and what the home owner can budget can determine this. Have the windows been maintained? Is the glass neglected? Have hard water stains formed due to sprinkler over spray? Does the home owner want exterior only or everything done? Your standard maintenance cleaning Includes the following:
- We start Opening each window and removing the screen. Then we brush and vacuum the tracks, paying attention to all areas around the glass.
- Next we clean around the outside of each window and wash the glass.
- Then the inside. Done in this order you can see how well the outside turned out and can make any corrections.
- Then the screens are washed and re-installed.

Professional window cleaners around the world use the same tools. The squeegee and a T-bar/scrubber. These are the standard tools of the industry. The solution used is soapy water. The solution isn’t the secret. It is the skill with the squeegee.
Clean the edges of the top and left side of the glass using your finger wrapped in a towel. Take a squeegee of appropriate size and use it from left to right. Start at the top left corner and work your way from left to right making sure to overlap each stroke from top to bottom. Once done, wipe any remaining water on the edges with a dry portion of a towel.
The outside of windows can be cleaned as often as needed. Every 2-3 months is optimal. Once a year is more common but not recommended.
