How We Do It: To clean glass, we use genuine (the inventor and patent holder of the modern day squeegee) cleaning products. We wet and scrub the window, mirror or skylight with bio-degradable cleaning solution using a strip-washer. The solution we use is ammonia-free and safe to use on tinted windows and vinyl skylights. Paint-overspray, construction debris or stickers are removed with a professional scraper which is markedly different from the common razor blade. Finally, the window is dried with a squeegee and any drips or water accumulation around the edges are finished with a towel.

To clean the window tracks, we first loosen the dirt with a stiff brush and then vacuum out all the loose debris. Any remaining dirt is removed with a damp towel. With the majority of today’s windows being vinyl, after years of use the tracks begin so show wear marks from the window being opened and closed. These marks should not be confused as dirt and cannot be removed. As we like to say, we can’t get the tracks looking new again, but we can get them clean by removing the dirt and dead bugs.

Screens and sun screens (if applicable) are removed, washed with soap and water, rinsed and re-installed. We do not just wipe the screens with a dry towel. Our crew is very experienced at removing the most stubborn of screens thus reducing the risk of kinking the metal frames. But, occasionally, a screen does get bent and our policy is to replace it at our expense. In an average year we repair or replace about six screens.
