What's Included in Professional Window Cleaning?

Written by Blue Ribbon Window Cleaning · Last updated May 14, 2026

Quick answer

A standard interior + exterior visit from Blue Ribbon includes inside and outside glass, hand-cleaned screens, wiped tracks and sills, detailed frames, and a final walkthrough so you can point out anything to touch up.

What a standard visit covers

  • Interior and exterior glass on every window in scope.
  • Window screens removed, hand-cleaned, and reinstalled.
  • Tracks vacuumed or brushed and then wiped.
  • Sills wiped down to remove dust, pollen, and bug debris.
  • Frames detailed so the edges of the glass aren't grimy.
  • Final walkthrough so anything missed gets touched up before we leave.

What's not included by default (but can be added)

A standard clean uses normal cleaning solution and squeegee work. Glass with bonded mineral deposits, paint specks, or construction overspray needs a different process — we quote those as add-ons so you only pay for what your glass actually needs.

Hard water stain removal

For glass that has visible mineral etching from sprinklers, we run a separate restoration step. See our hard water stain removal page for details.

Construction cleanup

Post-construction glass often has stucco, paint, and tape residue. That's a scraper-and-pad process priced per pane — covered on our construction window cleaning page.

Screen repair or rescreen

If a screen has a tear or a bent frame, we can repair or rescreen on the spot if material is in stock.

How long it typically takes

A typical Murrieta or Temecula home (around 25–35 windows, single story) takes 1.5–3 hours for a full inside-and-out service. Two-story homes and homes with French panes take longer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you move furniture?

We move light items if they're in the way, but for safety we ask homeowners to clear breakables and large furniture from in front of windows.

Are screens included automatically?

Yes — every interior + exterior service includes hand-cleaning screens. Exterior-only service does not include screens unless requested.

What if I notice a streak after you leave?

Call or text and we'll come back. Our satisfaction guarantee means a streak isn't done — it's a touch-up.
