Start With the Right Service

What This Service Is

What Professional Window Cleaning Covers

Cleaning From The Heart LLC cleans windows for homes, offices, storefronts, schools, and managed properties across Seattle and the surrounding area. The work covers interior glass, exterior glass, or both, along with a detail pass over the accessible frames, sills, and edges that surround each pane.

Most jobs take one of two shapes. A business needs its customer-facing glass held to a standard on a repeating schedule. A homeowner wants the whole house done once or twice a year, inside and out, including the upper-floor panes nobody wants to climb to. Those are genuinely different jobs, which is why each has its own page rather than sharing one generic quote.

Every estimate starts from the same few questions: what kind of property, roughly how many windows, inside or outside or both, and how the glass is reached. There is no published rate card, because a two-storey house and a ground-floor storefront are not the same piece of work.

Rain Spotting & Runoff

Nine months of Pacific Northwest weather leaves streaked runoff marks down exterior panes, worst on the weather-facing side of any building.

Pollen, Dust & Road Film

Spring pollen and the grey film thrown up from nearby roads settle on glass and dull it long before anyone would call the window dirty.

Handprints & Smudges

Entry doors, sliders, and any pane at child or dog height take contact all day. Interior glass is nearly always about touch, not weather.

Cobwebs & Corner Debris

Frames, sill corners, and the underside of window ledges collect webbing and grit that stays put no matter how well the glass itself is done.

Scope of Work

What Is Standard and What Is Optional

Window cleaning quotes go wrong when the extras were assumed rather than agreed. Here is the honest split between what comes as standard and what needs to be confirmed and priced before the visit.

Standard on a window cleaning visit

Included on the windows named in your scope, on whichever faces you have booked.

  • Interior glass on the windows in the agreed scope
  • Exterior glass that can be reached safely from the ground or a ladder
  • Entry-door glass, sidelights, and door lites
  • Patio-door and slider glass
  • Interior glass partitions and office panels
  • A wipe of the accessible frames, sills, and glass edges
  • Cobweb clearing around reachable exterior window areas

Optional, confirmed before booking

Real work we can often do, but never assumed inside a standard quote. Ask and we will price it.

  • Screen removal, washing, and refitting
  • Detailed track cleaning beyond a routine wipe
  • French-door and divided-lite panes, which are priced per pane
  • Interior glass railings, mirrors, and display glass
  • Skylights and other overhead glass, subject to a look at the property
  • Hard-water and mineral spotting, assessed on site before anything is promised

What we do not offer

We do not provide high-rise window cleaning, rope-access or bosun-chair work, suspended scaffolding, or large boom-lift operations. Our window work is ground-level, ladder-height, and water-fed-pole reach on low-rise buildings and houses. Glass restoration, grinding or polishing out scratches and etched mineral damage, is a specialist trade and is not part of this service either. If your building needs any of that, we will tell you at the quote stage rather than take the job.

Timing

When Seattle Customers Book Window Cleaning

Six patterns account for most of the calls we take. Recognising which one you are in usually answers the question of how soon to book and how often to repeat it.

The Seasonal Reset

Most Seattle properties get cleaned in spring, once the worst of the winter runoff has stopped, and again in early autumn before the rain returns. Twice a year is the pattern we see most often on both houses and low-rise commercial buildings. A single spring clean is a perfectly reasonable place to start if you have never had it done professionally.

Before Something Happens in the Space

A listing photo shoot, an open house, a family event, a board meeting, an inspection, a grand reopening. Glass is one of the few things in a building that visibly improves within a single visit, which is why it tends to get booked in the last two weeks before a date that matters.

Move-In and Move-Out

Vacant is the easiest a property will ever be to clean, and interior glass, tracks, and sills are on almost every turnover checklist. Window work slots naturally alongside a move-in or move-out clean, and doing both in one visit avoids paying twice for the same trip.

Routine Storefront and Office Upkeep

Businesses with glass the public touches rarely wait for a season. Entry doors and display windows are usually on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly cycle, because the standard slips within days rather than months once foot traffic is involved.

After Outdoor Work Nearby

Pressure washing, gutter work, roof work, landscaping, or a renovation all end with something on the glass. Window cleaning is normally the last thing scheduled on a property, after the messy work is finished, rather than the first.

It Has Simply Been Too Long

Plenty of calls start with someone admitting they cannot remember the last time. That is a normal starting point, not a problem. Glass left for several years takes longer and sometimes shows spotting that will not fully clear, and we would rather say so before we quote than after.

Interior, Exterior, or Both

Which Faces of the Glass You Actually Need Done

This is the single biggest factor in what a window cleaning job costs and how long it takes, and it is worth deciding before you ask anyone for a price.

Interior Only

Everything you see from inside the room.

Interior work is about contact rather than weather: fingerprints, palm marks on sliders, cooking film in a kitchen, dust settled along the sill. It is the cheaper half of the job on most properties, it needs someone to let us in, and it is the usual choice for offices, rentals between tenants, and homes where only the inside has gone.

  • Fingerprints, smudges, and everyday film
  • Interior sills, frames, and glass edges
  • Patio doors, sliders, and interior partitions

Exterior Only

The weather side, including panes you cannot reach.

Exterior glass carries rain runoff, pollen, road film, and cobwebs. It does not usually need anyone inside the building, so it is the easier half to schedule. Reachable upper-floor panes are cleaned from the ground with a water-fed pole where the property allows it, and anything genuinely out of safe reach is identified before we quote rather than after.

  • Rain spotting, pollen, and road film
  • Cobwebs around reachable window areas
  • Ground-level and reachable upper-floor panes

Inside and Out

The complete job, and the one most people mean.

Doing both sides in one visit is the only way to know which side a mark was on, and it is what most homeowners want from a seasonal clean. It costs more than either half and takes longer, but it is a single trip, a single access arrangement, and a result that reads as finished from both directions.

  • Both faces of every pane in scope
  • Frames, sills, and edges detailed once
  • One visit, one access arrangement

A note on what glass will and will not do

Cleaning removes dirt, film, smudges, and surface residue. It does not remove damage. Glass that has spent years under a sprinkler head, sat behind a leaking gutter, or been etched by hard water can come up clean and still hold a visible haze or spotting, and scratches from construction work or a previous scraper are permanent. Where we can see that in advance we will say so before quoting; where it only shows once the dirt is off, we will tell you what it is rather than keep scrubbing at it.

How It Works

Our Window Cleaning Process

Five steps from first contact to finished glass. Nothing is committed until the scope, the access arrangement, and the price are agreed.

01

Request a Quote

Tell us the property type, roughly how many windows, and whether you want interior, exterior, or both. A photo of the building helps more than an exact count.

02

Confirm Details and Scope

We check access, reachability, storey height, and any optional work such as screens or tracks, then set out what is included and what is quoted separately.

03

Schedule the Service

A date and arrival window are agreed, along with who lets us in, where we can park, and whether the work happens during or outside operating hours.

04

Clean the Glass

Panes are cleaned inside, outside, or both, with the accessible frames, sills, and edges wiped as part of the same pass rather than left for a second visit.

05

Final Check

We walk the glass before leaving, in daylight where possible, and correct what needs correcting on the spot rather than asking you to call about it later.

Why Work With Us

Why Choose Cleaning From The Heart

Locally owned and family-operated, not a franchise with a Seattle phone number.

A Local Seattle Company

Locally owned and family-operated, not a national brand with a Seattle phone number. The person who quotes your property is the person accountable for the work on it.

Both Sides of the Market

We clean glass for offices, storefronts, schools, and managed properties as well as for houses and condos, which is why the two categories have separate pages instead of one generic quote.

Scope Agreed Before the Visit

What is included, what is optional, and what is priced separately are settled in writing first. Screens, deep track work, and specialty glass are named rather than assumed.

Frames and Sills, Not Just Panes

A clean pane sitting in a dirty frame still reads as a dirty window. Accessible frames, sills, and glass edges are part of the standard pass on every job.

Flexible Scheduling

Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 7 PM, with commercial work arranged around opening hours where the site allows it. One-time and recurring plans both available.

One Provider for the Property

Window cleaning sits alongside pressure washing, carpet cleaning, floor care, and full commercial or residential cleaning, so one visit can cover more than the glass.

Where We Work

Window Cleaning Across Seattle and the Surrounding Area

We are based in Renton and work throughout Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area. Weather exposure varies enormously across the region, a waterfront property in Shoreline and a sheltered inland street in Kent will not need the same schedule, and that shows up in how often glass actually needs attention.

Availability depends on your location, the property type, how the glass is accessed, and the scope required, so coverage is confirmed when we quote rather than assumed from a map. Commercial sites near the edge of the range are worth a call before you plan around a date.

FAQ

Window Cleaning Questions

The questions homeowners and business owners ask most before booking glass work in Seattle.

Question about your own property?

Send us the property type and a rough window count, and we'll tell you plainly what we can and cannot reach.

Do you clean both the inside and the outside of windows?

Yes. You can book interior only, exterior only, or both. Exterior-only work is the simplest to schedule because nobody needs to be inside the building, while interior work needs access to each room. Most homeowners booking a seasonal clean choose both, because it is the only way to be certain which side a mark was on. Which option suits you is one of the first things we confirm when quoting.

Do you offer both residential and commercial window cleaning?

Yes, and they are quoted differently. Residential window cleaning covers houses, condos, townhomes, and apartments, usually as a seasonal or twice-yearly job. Commercial window cleaning covers offices, storefronts, retail, restaurants, schools, and managed properties, usually on a repeating schedule built around foot traffic and opening hours. Each has its own page with the detail specific to it.

Are frames, sills, and glass edges included?

A wipe of the accessible frames, sills, and glass edges is part of the standard pass, because a clean pane in a dirty frame still looks like a dirty window. What is separate is detailed restoration work: sills with paint, adhesive, construction residue, or mineral damage need more than a wipe, and we will tell you that at the quote stage rather than after the visit.

Do you clean window screens and window tracks?

Screen washing and detailed track cleaning are treated as optional add-ons rather than automatic inclusions, and they need to be confirmed before the visit so the time is allowed for. Tracks get a routine wipe as part of interior work where they are accessible; a deep track clean on a house full of sliders is a different job. Damaged or brittle screens are pointed out rather than handled, since we do not repair screens.

Can I schedule recurring window cleaning?

Yes. Weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, and seasonal schedules are all workable, and the right frequency depends on the property rather than a package. Storefront and entry glass with public traffic generally needs the shortest cycle. Offices and managed common areas usually sit on a monthly or quarterly rhythm. Houses are most often twice a year. Recurring service can be adjusted or paused as the seasons change.

Do you clean apartment and condominium windows?

Yes, within what can be reached safely. Individual unit interiors, ground-floor and low-rise exterior glass, lobby glass, and common-area windows are all normal work. What is not offered is high-rise exterior work requiring rope access, suspended platforms, or boom lifts. If your building needs that, we will say so at the quote stage instead of quoting for something we do not do.

How often should windows be professionally cleaned?

For a Seattle home, twice a year is the common pattern: once in spring after the winter runoff, once in early autumn before the rain sets in. Once a year is enough for sheltered properties or where budget is the deciding factor. Commercial glass with public contact needs far more, often weekly or monthly. Exposure matters more than the calendar, so a waterfront or roadside property will always need it sooner than a sheltered one.

Do you provide window cleaning throughout Seattle?

We serve Seattle and the surrounding Puget Sound area, including Renton, Bellevue, Kent, Everett, Tukwila, Shoreline, Federal Way, Kirkland, Bothell, Tacoma, and the communities around them. Availability depends on the location, property type, access, and the scope required, so if you are toward the edge of that range it is worth a quick call to confirm before planning around a date.

How is window cleaning priced?

Quotes are built per property rather than from a published rate. The main factors are the number of panes, how many storeys they sit on, whether the work is interior, exterior, or both, how the glass is reached, the current condition, any optional screen or track work, and whether the service is one-time or recurring. Estimates are free and carry no obligation.

Does someone need to be there during the service?

For interior work, yes, or at least someone to provide access at the start. Exterior work usually only needs gate access, a water source, and somewhere to park, so many customers are not home for it. For commercial sites the arrangement is agreed in advance, whether that means a key, a code, a staff member on site, or a set arrival window before opening.
