    Professional Window Washing Company

    Evergreen Window Cleaning has been professionally cleaning windows in the greater Seattle area for nearly 25 years

    Evergreen’s Professional Window Cleaning Services

    Clean windows are an essential source of beauty in a home. Not only is the glass itself more beautiful when clean and sparkling, but clean windows also illuminate the natural beauty of a home’s interior and refresh the old familiar views outside. All this is reflected with a hint of delight in the homeowner’s eyes once our work is done. There is a subtle boost in joy and we feel it every day at the end of each job.

    Window cleaning has been the hallmark of our business since its founding and it still is. We take great care with every pane and aim for a perfect, streak-free clean with every window. It’s harder than it looks.

    Residential Window Cleaning

    Our residential window cleaning services can be for all or some of the exterior and/or interior windows and can include storm panes (so long as they are not too old or brittle to be considered a liability), french panes, interior glass doors, mirrors, glass deck railing, skylights, and solar panels.

    Business Window Cleaning

    Evergreen Window Cleaning also serves some businesses that require a residential touch, up to four stories in height. We clean storefronts and other commercial properties. We also work with management companies to provide window cleaning services to multi-residence condominiums and townhouses.

    Why Should I Clean My Windows Regularly?

    Regular window cleaning is important to keep your outdoor views clear and crisp. It should go without saying that clean windows make your home or business look cleaner–but it’s absolutely true. And of course, more natural light coming through your clean windows makes your home brighter. All of this tends to make homeowners feel happier. Just ask anyone who has their windows cleaned regularly. How often should you clean them? For residential, we recommend having your exterior windows cleaned biannually or quarterly and the interiors cleaned once or twice per year. Quarterly window cleaning (or more often) is best to keep clean windows throughout the year. At a minimum, windows should be cleaned annually to protect the glass against hard water stains, mildew build-up, and scratching from unchecked dirt and sand particles.

    Evergreen’s Window Washing Processes

    Six-S Window Cleaning

    This is our standard operating procedure for most windows:

    We apply a soap/water formula, scrub the glass with fresh, #000 steel wool, squeegee the window, do a quick streak-check with clean cloth or dry steel wool, wipe down the sash and sill, and lastly, we wipe down the screen and replace it. Here’s what this looks like:

    Deionized Water-Fed Pole Window Cleaning

    When the conditions are right, we clean windows with a newer system. The deionized water-fed pole method has become an important tool in modern window cleaning. It leaves a more affordable streak-free clean without using ladders. This works quite well with vinyl and aluminum-framed windows, but not as well on many older windows (such as true leaded-glass panes). It can’t be used for interior windows. Screens will also need to be removed prior to cleaning.

    Why Should I Hire Window Washing Professionals?

    Window cleaning is often something homeowners can do for themselves. But as anyone who has cleaned all their own windows can attest, it can be time-consuming, tiring, dangerous, and frustrating when you find at the end of the day as the sun shines directly through the glass, that you’ve left streaks all over the place. It’s also not uncommon for untrained window cleaners to scratch their windows by using razor blades for paint removal on the wrong type of glass. A reputable professional window cleaning company takes on your time, weariness, danger, frustration, and they know how to clean your windows without scratching them. While it can be expensive to have your windows professionally cleaned, many homeowners are happy to pay the cost after running this cost-benefit analysis.

    FAQ

    What About My UV RAY FILM?

    UV-ray film is becoming a rarity these days in the Seattle area, but we still find it on some older panes. It can only be cleaned with soap and squeegees. No abrasive should ever be used on it no matter how dirty it is. While we are pretty good at spotting it, we really appreciate being notified of its existence before beginning a job.

    Will The Steel Wool Scratch My Glass?

    Steel wool (#0000) or brass wool is used by all premier residential window cleaning companies to remove all those bits of organic material missed by every other scrubbing device. As the #0000 steel wool is softer than glass, it cannot scratch it, and has the huge advantage over razor blades in that it rolls over any microscopic fabricating debris (see the next FAQ for more on this). Sand, dirt, and concrete particles can scratch glass when trapped on anything dragged across the glass (whether a squeegee, steel wool, or a rag). This is why we use fresh steel wool, squeegees, and rags on each job.

    Please be advised: while steel wool and brass wool will not scratch glass, other cleaning abrasives, such as S.O.S. pads, will absolutely scratch it and must never be used to clean it.

    Will you use razor blades?

    When we clean windows, we use razor blades sparingly and never on tempered glass, which tends to be mottled with microscopic fabricating debris. These tiny bits of glass debris come from the rollers used in the manufacturing process and are easily nicked off by razors, leaving scratch marks behind that are especially visible in sunlight. Tempered glass is usually marked as such in a corner and are installed (per construction code) in places where the glass could easily be broken. It is found in and near doors, over bathtubs, in showers, on staircases, in skylights, on any pane near to the ground, among other places.

    I have stickers.Can you remove them?

    Yes. We will remove a few stickers free of charge, but will need to add an additional charge for more than that.

    Do you move objects away from the window before cleaning them?

    If the objects or furniture are easily movable and present no risk of breakage we are happy to move them for you and replace them. If there are many small objects in front of the windows, it really helps us do our job more efficiently if they are moved beforehand.

    What about post-construction cleaning ?

    We no longer take on new construction window cleaning, though we can make some exceptions for existing customers.

    How often should i have my windows cleaned?

    If having and keeping clean windows is your goal, then we recommend cleaning your windows four times per year. A common request is to have both inside and out cleaned once or twice per year and the exteriors cleaned quarterly.

    Why are my windows foggy ?

    Fog is a common problem in double-paned thermal windows. When they are made, the air (or gas) between the panes is sealed in. If the seal breaks, the gas leaks out and moisture leaks in. This causes fogging in the window. Unfortunately, the best remedy for fixing this problem is to replace the window. However, before you go throwing good money away, you should first check with the installing contractor or manufacturer to see what warranties exist on your windows. The big national brands often come with excellent warranties, as do one or two local brands.

    I Need to replace some windows or skylights. Do you have any recommendations?

    While each homeowner will need to tailor any purchase to their budgeting and taste requirements, we do have some general recommendations from a maintenance standpoint:

    Because of the all-too-common problem of leaky seals and foggy windows, make sure you get a lifetime warranty from a company with the staying power to back it up.


    Acrylic, vinyl, or plastic skylights (or windows) should always be avoided. Sometimes, particularly in skylights, they are installed for safety to protect against falling limbs. However, be advised that sap (and other dirty stuff) is impossible to remove without doing damage to the skylight. In our estimation, acrylic skylights are installed without any thought to future maintenance and are almost always a disappointment to the homeowner within a few years.
    For cleaning access, screens should be removable from the outside. Most are, but a few odd brands allow inside-only removal. These add time (and cost) to cleaning.


    If you want more energy efficiency, pay the extra for argon (krypton, xenon, etc.) thermal windows with a low-emissivity coating between the panes. Don’t buy regular panes with a view to applying UV ray film after. Even the best film doesn’t clean well after a year or two. And if you do happen to buy the film, never have it applied to the window exterior.
