- Self-cleaning windows can be made easier with the proper tools. The Housekeeping Channel[1] recommends buying a professional squeegee and using dish soap. Squeegees and window washing tools run under $10.
What should be included:
- Typically a professional window washer will remove and mark all screens, cleaning both sides of the screens before setting them aside. Both the inside and outside of the windows should be washed, including the window tracks and sills. The clean screens should then be put back in place. Ideally, household windows should be washed twice a year, according to ThisOldHouse.com, which describes techniques[2] for specific cleaning tasks such as picture windows or multi-pane windows.
Related Costs: Carpet Cleaning,
House Cleaning
Additional costs:- Screen cleaning is .50 cents-$5 each, depending on size. Some companies will not clean broken or torn screens.
- Sliding glass doors run $2.50-$8 per door. Some companies average the cost of sliding doors with small bathroom windows, to cut the price.
- Some cleaners will include sills and tracks. If not, the price runs .50 cents-$5.
- While second-story work is generally charged the same as single story, third and fourth-floor ladder work runs $3-$5 extra per window.
- Paint or stain removal on the windows costs $3.50-$6 for a regular-sized window.
- Removing mineral deposits is included by some companies and runs about $20 per pane at others.
Some companies offer a 10-20% discount for scheduling with neighbors.
Shopping for window cleaning:- The International Window Cleaning Association offers an online membership directory[3] .
- Home Reports.com in Atlanta Georgia advises making sure any contractor hired has liability insurance[4] .
- Good Housekeeping recommends asking friends or calling professional associations.
- Mr. Window Cleaner[5] offers a website calculator to estimate individual costs.

I wrote a great write up under the Pressure Washing segment on this site as a "return favor" for making me look good in front of my property's Tenants and my Management Company's Board of Directors. Im posting this now as they recently did a great job on the windows. OSHA Inspector unexpectedly arrived and went straight to the roof while I was out and no citations where given. That, I think, says it all.

Wow I was stunned how clean my windows looked when they finished. I have a 3,500 S/F home so I was quoted prices well above $200 but Prodigy Window & Gutter Cleaning did it all for only $125! And I believe they even did a better job than the more expensive companies would have done. Can't beat perfect. I reccomend Prodigy Window & Gutter Cleaning to everyone.

This was absolutely the best window service I have ever delt with. I Had them do my house on a referral and was taken by the highly respectful and professional manner in which they performed their service. Their attention to detail was spot on, as at times I am a little overbearing about how I like things done. They have always exceeded my expectations and I rarely brag about services I have had, but I must give these guys credit because they really take an honest pride in their work. A perfect example of our loved Veterans. Recommend! Recommend! 602-828-9539
