A homeowner in Hershey once told us she regretted adding skylights. “They look great for one week,” she said, “then it’s all bugs and haze.” This is a common complaint. Skylights are amazing when clean—but they’re hard to keep that way. At Crystal Clear Window, we make skylight window cleaning simple, safe, and stress-free.
Why Skylights Get Dirty So Fast
Unlike regular windows, skylights sit flat or angled on the roof. This design makes them collect dust, pollen, leaves, and droppings quickly. Rain often dries before it can wash debris away. You may even notice bugs stuck in the corners. Over time, all this blocks the light and makes your room feel dim.
Why Professional Skylight Cleaning Helps
A client in Elizabethtown tried to clean her skylight using a mop. Sadly, she slipped and cracked a shingle. This type of cleaning is risky. The height and roof angles make it hard without proper tools. Our team uses long poles, soft brushes, clean water, and safe ladders. We clean the glass the right way. That means no drips, no streaks, and no danger.
What We Clean
Each skylight has its own shape and frame. Some are fixed panes. Others can open. Some are bubble-shaped. Others are flat. We clean:
- Flat glass skylights
- Bubble dome skylights
- Ventilating skylights
- Tubular skylights
- Ceiling wells
For each type, we use the right tools. We stay away from harsh cleaners. Our sprays are gentle and low-odor. If the glass is cloudy, we rinse with clean deionized water so nothing is left behind.
How Often Should You Clean Skylights?
In Lancaster, pollen and dust build up fast. That’s why we suggest cleaning skylights twice a year. Spring and fall are good times. If your home is near trees or farms, more frequent service may help. Businesses with indoor skylights often ask us to come every few months. You can set the schedule that fits. We’ll follow through.
Helping Homes in Lancaster
One house near Columbia Avenue had three large skylights over the kitchen. As time passed, the glass turned foggy. The light felt dull. After cleaning, the space looked bright again. The owner told us it felt like someone turned on a light switch. That’s what skylight window cleaning can do.
Cleaning Skylights for Businesses
Many local businesses use skylights in their workspaces. We’ve cleaned them in lobbies, salons, break rooms, and more. For example, one salon in York started receiving compliments on their “new lights.” But it wasn’t new bulbs—it was just clean skylights letting light through again.
Our Cleaning Process
First, we check the layout of the roof. Then we plan a safe way to reach the skylights. After that, we clean the glass using soft scrubbers and filtered water. If the skylight has buildup, we scrub before rinsing. Next, we dry the glass and clean the frame. Our team looks for cracks or leaks as part of every visit.
Safety First—Always
Ladders are always secured. Long poles are used for hard-to-reach glass. If the weather is unsafe, we reschedule. Your safety and ours come first. Our team is careful. We never take risks. Every skylight is treated like it belongs to us.
