Every season in Durham Region brings something new, sunshine, rain, snow, or wind, but it also brings a fresh layer of dirt and grime on your windows.

From winter grime and salt spray to pollen and dust in the spring, each season takes a toll on your glass, frames, and screens. That’s why seasonal window cleaning is one of the best ways to maintain a clear view, protect your home, and ensure your windows remain sparkling year-round.

As your local handyman and window cleaner, I provide professional care for both the interior windows and exterior windows of homes and businesses across Port Perry and the Durham Region. Whether you’re preparing for spring cleaning, tackling fall maintenance, or cleaning exterior windows after summer storms, I make sure your property enjoys more natural light and a streak free finish.

Why Seasonal Window Cleaning Matters

Many homeowners put off window washing until their glass looks cloudy, but by then dirt and grime have already started to damage the surface. Regularly scheduling a professional window cleaning service ensures:

• Natural light flows freely into your home.

• Clean window screens and frames improve air quality and durability.

• Soapy water and proper products gently remove dirt without harming surfaces.

• Streak free windows create a brighter appearance inside and outside.

• Seasonal care prevents buildup that becomes harder to remove in cold weather.

Cleaning your windows regularly is more than just cosmetic—it’s a step in protecting your investment and enjoying your property to its fullest.

The Complete Seasonal Cleaning Process

I follow a safe, thorough cleaning process that ensures both results and protection for your property.

Step One: Preparation

I assess all the windows, frames, and window screens before starting. For high windows or hard to reach windows, I use the proper equipment and brush attachment tools to ensure safety.

Step Two: Cleaning Exterior Windows

The outside windows carry the heaviest dirt. I use soapy water, a soft brush or soft bristle brush, and microfiber cloths to gently remove dirt and winter grime. Equal parts white vinegar and hot water in a spray bottle or sponge mop may also be used as a DIY window cleaning solution alternative for tough stains.

Step Three: Interior Windows

For the inside windows, I wipe clean glass panes, frames, and window sills with mild detergent or vinegar and water solutions. A damp cloth followed by a dry microfiber cloth ensures a streak free finish.

Step Four: Window Tracks and Screens

I remove dust from window tracks, wash window screens, and air dry them before reinstallation. This step is essential for clean windows effectively.

Step Five: Spot Cleaning and Detailing

Tough stains, smudges, or dirty windows in hard to reach areas are treated with a homemade window cleaner or a few drops of dish soap in warm water. Paper towels may be used for quick spot cleaning, but microfiber cloths ensure streak free results.

Professional Window Cleaning Service vs. DIY

Many homeowners experiment with DIY solutions like vinegar and water, dish soap, or a homemade solution in a spray bottle. While these methods work for spot cleaning, the reality is they often leave streaks, residue, or missed areas.

A professional window cleaning service goes beyond DIY. With the right cleaning solution, brush attachment tools, and professional cleaners, I deliver streak free windows safely and efficiently. Whether you have sliding windows, double hung windows, or high windows, I have the skills to handle them all.

That said, I do share window tips with my clients who enjoy maintaining their glass between visits. For example:

• Use equal parts white vinegar and water for a simple homemade window cleaner.

• Always wipe clean with a dry cloth or dry microfiber cloth instead of paper towels to avoid streaks.

• Wash windows on a cloudy day to prevent direct sunlight from drying soapy water too quickly.

Products and Cleaning Solutions I Use

The difference between clean windows and streak free windows often comes down to products. Here are some examples of what I use in my cleaning process:

• Dish soap and soapy water for everyday dirt and grime.

• White vinegar and water for a natural cleaning solution.

• A few drops of mild detergent for delicate surfaces.

• Microfiber cloths to wipe clean without streaks.

• Soft brush and brush attachment tools for exterior window frames and screens.

• Spray bottle applications for equal parts white vinegar mixes or homemade solution recipes.

Each product is selected to remove dirt without damaging glass panes, window frames, or sills.
