Window cleaning: when and how to book it

How often to clean windows on the coast, what the service includes, what to prepare and how to describe large windows and enclosures for offers.

2 min read ·

With sea salt, dust and sun, windows on the Costa del Sol get dirty sooner than inland. A professional service leaves glass clean and streak-free, including hard-to-reach places.

How often to clean

In homes near the sea, a professional clean every two or three months keeps glass in good condition, sooner if the terrace is exposed to wind. Inland, twice a year may be enough. Terrace enclosures and large windows get dirty faster and show it more.

What the service includes

Usually the glass is cleaned inside and out, along with frames and sills, and sometimes the tracks of sliding windows. It can also cover picture windows, shower screens, aluminium and glass terrace enclosures and skylights, depending on access.

Access and safety

Say which floor you are on, whether there is a balcony or terrace and whether the outer glass can be reached from inside. For high floors or hard-to-reach surfaces the professional may need special equipment; mention it in the request to get a realistic offer. Do not try to clean the outside of a high window yourself: it is dangerous.

Before the visit

Clear the way to the windows, take down curtains and objects from sills and mention pets. If there are limescale marks, paint or building residue, describe them and add a photo, because they need different treatment.

How to describe the job to get accurate offers

State how many windows and large panes there are, the floor, whether there is a terrace enclosure and whether you want inside, outside or both. Add photos of the hardest areas. If you want a regular service, say so from the start.

Make the most of the visit

It is a good moment to ask for a general clean as well. See our guide to choosing a home cleaner and agree the price before starting: on DomiloApp you do so before you pay.
