- Most Berea homes clean windows twice a year, spring and fall.
What makes window cleaning in Berea different?
Berea was built out of sandstone, and many older homes along Front Street and around Baldwin Wallace University have deep porches, tall original windows and stone or brick faces. Newer builds off Bagley Road and Eastland Road tend to have bigger panes, and more of them.
Either way, the glass is the part of the house that shows dirt first.
The older windows in Berea often have more panes, deeper sills and original frames that collect dirt in the corners. Those details are worth cleaning carefully, since they are part of what makes the homes stand out.
Why does hard water leave spots on Berea windows?
Tap water in this part of Ohio is hard, and the dissolved minerals in it dry on glass as spots and streaks. We run our water through a purification system first, so it leaves nothing behind.
We use no soap on the glass. The windows dry on their own, clean, with no soap film and no towel marks.
Purified water is also gentle on older frames and screens, so it suits Berea's century homes as well as the newer builds.
How do you reach second and third story windows safely?
Our water fed poles reach about 40 feet from the ground, so we can clean upper story windows without ladders on most homes. That matters on Berea's older two and three story houses, where leaning a ladder against old gutters is a bad idea.
Cleaning from the ground also keeps us off porch roofs and away from landscaping, and it lets us reach the high windows over stairwells and entryways that are hard to get to from inside.
How often should Berea homes get windows cleaned?
Berea is hard on windows. Tree cover near Coe Lake and along the Rocky River Reservation means heavy pollen in spring, sap and dust all summer and leaf grit packed into the tracks by late fall.
Most homeowners here clean twice a year, spring and fall, and if you only do it once, make it spring. Our Biannual and Triannual plans take money off every visit.
- Exterior glass cleaned with purified water
- Screens, frames, sills and tracks, so grit does not just move around
- Interior glass available as an add on, done by hand
- The No Spots Promise: spots or streaks within 48 hours are redone free
