Mix and match as your home needs it — Platinum for a full interior and exterior cleaning in the spring, Silver or Gold to freshen up the outside later in the year. After your first cleaning, we'll work with you to get the next visit on the calendar, so you never have to remember to call. Ask about adding a Sparkle Maintenance Plan to your next cleaning.
Pure Water Technology
Ordinary tap water is full of dissolved minerals. When it dries on glass, those minerals stay behind as spots and streaks.
Our exterior system filters those minerals out first. The purified water is fed through a soft brush on a telescopic pole, where it lifts dirt off the glass and rinses away clean. When it evaporates, there is nothing left to leave a mark.
We haven't abandoned the traditional side of the craft. Interior glass, detail edges and stubborn buildup still get hand-cleaned with squeegees and scrubbers, because that's what does the job right. Pure water where it wins, hand work where it wins.
-
No spots, no streaks
Purified water dries clean because there are no minerals left in it to leave behind.
-
Safer for your home
Working from the ground means fewer ladders leaning against your siding, gutters and landscaping.
-
No detergent residue
Leftover soap film attracts dust. Without it, your windows stay looking clean longer.
-
Frames cleaned too
The brush scrubs exterior frames and sills in the same pass, not just the glass.

Additional Services
Quoted and billed separately from your cleaning package. Mention them on your quote request and we'll price everything together.
Hard Water Stain Removal
Sprinkler overspray and mineral deposits need a different treatment than a standard wash. We'll assess the glass and quote it separately.
Screen Cleaning
Already included in Gold and Platinum. Available on its own if you're booking a Silver cleaning and want the screens done too.
Gutter Cleaning
Clear gutters and downspouts so water moves away from your roof, siding and foundation.

Which package should I choose?
If you just want the outside to look sharp, Silver covers exterior glass and frames. Gold adds your screens, which makes a real difference since clean glass behind a dirty screen only gets you halfway. Platinum is the full job — inside and out, plus interior sills and screens. Most homeowners go Platinum in the spring and Silver or Gold later in the year.
Do I have to pick the same package every time?
No. On a maintenance plan you choose the package that fits each visit. Full interior and exterior cleaning one time, exterior-only the next — whatever your home needs that season.
How do maintenance plans get billed?
You pay for each cleaning after it's completed, with your plan discount applied to every visit. There's no paying for the year upfront. The plan simply sets how often we come back and how much comes off each bill.
How often should I have my windows cleaned?
Most Cedar Valley homeowners go twice a year — once in spring after the winter grime, once in fall before the holidays. Homes near gravel roads, farm fields or heavy tree cover often want a third visit, which is what Maintenance+ is built for. We'll give you an honest recommendation when we quote your home.
Do I need to be home during the cleaning?
For a Silver or Gold cleaning, no — as long as we have access to the yard and an outdoor spigot. Platinum includes interior work, so someone will need to let us in. Plenty of our customers hand us a key or a garage code once they've worked with us a few times.
What is pure water cleaning and why does it matter?
Tap water carries dissolved minerals that leave spots when the water dries. We filter those out before the water ever touches your glass, so the exterior finish dries clean without soap or squeegee marks. It also lets us reach upper windows from the ground instead of leaning ladders on your home.
Do you remove hard water stains?
Yes. Sprinkler overspray and mineral buildup call for a different process than a standard cleaning, so it's quoted and billed separately. Severe cases can permanently etch glass, so we'll look at it first and tell you honestly what can be improved before we quote the work.
What happens if it rains right after you clean?
Clean windows handle normal rain better than dirty ones, because there's no film for water to run through. Our Rain Guarantee is included with both maintenance plans and covers qualifying rain-related spotting or runoff after a service. Ask us about it when you request your quote.
Which towns do you serve?
Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Waverly, Denver, Independence, Evansdale, Hudson, Janesville, Dike, Grundy Center and surrounding Cedar Valley and Northeast Iowa communities. If you're just outside that range, reach out and we'll let you know whether we can get to you.
