Window Cleaning Vancouver, WA Checklist
Since one of the most frequent questions we get asked by our clients in Vancouver, Washington is how they should prepare their home for us to come out, we’ve decided to write a list with details.
The best part is that future clients don’t have to do much to prepare their home (besides a few small things). We’ve intentionally designed it this way so that we do the labor and they do the relaxing.
Customers that hire us to clean their windows can do as much relaxing as they can, while we take care of all their windows and make them shine like new when they’re finished.
The main thing we ask clients to do before we come out to their homes is to clear as many items off their window sills as they can. Clear windowsills allow us to be able to reach the windows for cleaning.
Below is a list of the remaining actions a homeowner can take to prepare a home for us to come to clean the windows.
- Clear off the window sills of any flowers, soaps, supplies, or anything else obstructing them.
- Move any small (we can help with large) furniture items away from the windows so we can position ourselves in front of the window to clean it.
- Let us know of any possible roof conditions, or outside conditions (like a rotting deck) that will lead us to be aware of any potential hurdles during the cleaning.
- Please restrain all pets into a designated area or keep them on a leash that can’t reach the ladders we will be going up and down on.
- Let us know of any special type of glass (tempered, low E, tinted) that is installed on the home (we can usually detect these but being informed about their presence ahead of time helps).
- Make any other requests known either before, or right when we arrive at the job site (such as wanting anything extra cleaned like mirrors, chandeliers, etc.) so that we can accommodate you.
- Information on anything else that is unique to your home that you feel that we should know about.
The above list covers 99% of all that we require from homeowners to inform us about or take action on, before, or during a job.
Our list was compiled after having completed dozens of jobs throughout Vancouver, WA that were so similar in nature that we decided to make a system for identifying potential solutions before we arrive.
Window Cleaning – Process
As window cleaning specialists in Vancouver, WA we’ve been able to develop a strategy and system that effectively gets the best cleaning results possible, in the most advantageous amount of time for the homeowner.
Window Cleaning Vancouver, WA
Our system is designed for efficiency while optimizing for completeness and thoroughness. Now after perfecting our methods in Vancouver WA homes, we’ve decided to share our system with the public.
Because our system requires professional-grade window cleaning gear and equipment, the average homeowner would not be able to replicate our results without using our tools.
For other window cleaners in the area, some of the steps might seem familiar, but at the same time, they might learn new techniques reading the bellow process.
Window Cleaning – Start to Finish
- Our first step is to show up to the client’s home on time, we value your time and don’t show up late. If anything outside our scope impedes us, we call and notify you of any possible delay.
- We notify the customer that we’ve arrived and go over how we will take on the job after we do a brief walk-around and overview of the home together.
- We discuss any unique situations or circumstances of the home if any exist that we should be aware of (such as broken window seals, hard water, etc.).
- We start by entering the home and removing the lower, the upper-level screens (keeping them together for organization).
- We clean the screens using our applicator and special solution, we then set the screens to dry, based on piles where they originated from, for easy return.
- We perform the upper-level exterior window cleans around the home. We start with upper-level windows so that water won’t drip on the lower level windows after they are cleaned.
- We move on to lower level windows, doors, and garage windows on the exterior portion of the home.
- After the outside windows are cleaned to a high and satisfactory degree, we move to the interior of the home and repeat the process.
- If any ladder or pole work is required for windows inside the home, we carry out those requirements first in order to get our equipment out of the way.
- When the interior windows are finished being cleaned, we do a walk-around the home to verify everything is to our high standards (touching up any work if need-be).
- After the walk-around, we return all the screens, pack our gear, and collect payment from the client.
- Our last step is to educate the customer about anything we noticed concerning their windows and to inform them about our yearly maintenance plan option.
Setup for Window Cleaning in Vancouver
Window Washing in Vancouver, WA?
We often times get asked if we are a window washing company that operates in Vancouver, WA, or a window cleaning company that does work in the same city.
Our easiest and most straight-forward response is that we, in fact, are both. We are a window washing and window cleaning company, and yes there is a difference!
The way our founder and owner, Dee, explains it is as follows, a client hires us, a local window cleaning company, that washes their windows, in order for them to come out clean.
The word wash is the action we take when we clean windows. The word clean, being the outcome of the washing.
If that is as confusing to you as it is to others who are not professional window cleaners, we have an easier way of answering the question.
The best, quickest, and easiest answer to, “do you wash or clean windows” is, as alluded to earlier, yes, we do both, we wash and clean windows!

How much does it cost to have my windows cleaned in Vancouver, WA?
Our window cleaning pricing is based on a flat rate per window model. We structured our pricing to be as simple and to the point as possible.
We count each frame around a window (single or double pane) as a single window. The only windows we count as two are sliding glass doors, or any windows larger than sliding glass doors.
How long does it take to have all my windows cleaned?
Because each home’s requirements are different, there is no set amount of time that we can quote on how long a window cleaning session can take.
One thing we guarantee is that we don’t rush our work, our cleaners are trained to do a top-quality job, that means paying attention to all detail and not rushing the job.
Factors that affect how long a job can take are listed below.
