One summer, a customer from Lancaster called Crystal Clear Window after noticing their windows looked “cloudy” from inside. They tried to clean it themselves, but the streaks wouldn’t go away. It turned out to be pollen stuck on the glass from nearby trees. After one visit, the whole front of the house looked brand new. That’s why exterior window cleaning matters—it’s not just about glass, it’s about how your home feels and looks.
Why Exterior Window Cleaning Is Important in Lancaster, PA
Living in Lancaster means dealing with four seasons. That means snow, pollen, road salt, dust, and rain all hit your windows. Many of our clients live near farms or construction zones, where dust settles fast. A homeowner in Hershey told us she couldn’t even see out of her second-floor windows after just one season.
Clean windows help bring more light in. They also make your home or business look cared for. We clean homes, stores, churches, and apartments—and the difference is always easy to see.
What Crystal Clear Window Does Differently
Our team is trained to clean every type of exterior window—big or small, high or low. We use safe ladders, water-fed poles, and special brushes that don’t scratch glass. We clean with pure water, not soap. That means no leftover streaks or spots. A small coffee shop in Columbia saw more foot traffic after we cleaned their front windows. Why? People could actually see inside.
We never rush. We take care of your property like it’s ours. We remove spider webs, wash away dirt, and leave the edges looking sharp. Every window gets the same attention.
How We Clean Exterior Windows
Our window cleaning service follows these steps:
- We walk around your home and check each window.
- We brush away dirt, webs, and loose leaves.
- We clean the glass with a purified water system.
- We rinse carefully and wipe edges for a clean finish.
We clean single windows, glass doors, second-story windows, sunrooms, and even skylights. If your window can be seen, we can clean it.
Homes, Businesses, and More
Lancaster has a wide mix of buildings. Some homes have storm windows. Some have big glass panels. We’ve cleaned houses in York, small stores in Lebanon, and churches in Hanover. Every job is different. But one thing is the same—windows should be clean, no matter where they are.
One family in Ephrata told us their back windows hadn’t been cleaned in over five years. We removed layers of grime and cobwebs. When we were done, the backyard looked brighter. They now call us every spring.
How Often Should You Schedule Exterior Window Cleaning?
In Lancaster, we recommend every 3 to 4 months for most homes. That keeps dust, bugs, and rain spots under control. If you live near trees or a busy road, you may need it more often.
We also offer one-time cleanings before parties, holidays, or home sales. One man in Harrisburg hired us the day before his open house. His realtor said it helped seal the deal.
Window Cleaning in Every Season
Spring: Wash off pollen and dust.
Summer: Remove water marks and sap.
Fall: Clear leaves and insect debris.
Winter: Clean off salt and road splash.
Many of our clients set up quarterly cleanings. We send reminders, and you don’t have to think about it.
DIY vs Hiring a Window Cleaning Service
Some people try to clean their windows using towels and store spray. But this often leaves streaks or doesn’t reach high spots. One client in Colonial Park said she slipped while trying to clean a window over her deck. Now she lets us handle it, and it takes us half the time.
Our tools reach 3 stories high without using a ladder. We clean frames and edges that others miss. And we do it without damage to siding, paint, or screens.
