The sun drops low in the evening and all at once you can see every smudge. Dog nose prints on the patio door. A gray film on the outside of the glass that you can’t reach. Screens so dusty the backyard looks foggy.
We clean windows inside and out across Evansville. That means the glass, the frames, the sills and the screens. It’s hand work with water, a mild cleaner, a squeegee and a cloth. No metal blade gets dragged across your glass.

What we clean on each window
- Glass, both sides. Washed, then pulled dry with a squeegee.
- Frames and sashes. Wiped down so old dirt doesn’t run back onto clean glass.
- Sills. Dust, dead bugs and grit out of the corners.
- Screens. Taken out, washed and put back in.
Patio sliders count as windows here. Skylights and glass up on the roof need a different setup, so they have their own page on skylight and solar panel cleaning. Glass doors, railings, storefronts and big mirrors are on our glass and mirror cleaning page.
Why we never scrape your glass
Cardinal is a glass maker. Its 2026 glass cleaning bulletin names a common mistake made by people outside the glass trade, window cleaners included. It’s running razor blades and other metal scrapers over large parts of the glass. Cardinal says that “carries a large probability for causing irreparable damage to glass.”
Its advice is that metal blades never be used on glass. So we don’t use them. Paint specks and old sticker glue get soaked and wiped, not scraped. If something won’t come off that way, we leave it and show you.
Coated glass needs a lighter touch
Some windows have coatings you can’t see. Cardinal says to check for exterior coatings first, because “certain glass cleaning products may harm these coatings.” It also says not to clean tinted or coated glass in direct sun. On a bright day we follow the shade around the house. If you know your window brand, tell us. We’ll check what that maker allows.
What can stay on the glass
Most dirt comes off. Some marks don’t, and you should hear that before we start, not after.
- Hard water spots. White rings from a sprinkler or a splashing downspout can be stubborn. Older ones may not fully come off with normal cleaning. We won’t attack them with anything that could scratch.
- Scratches. A scratch is in the glass, not on it. Cleaning can’t take it out.
- Fog between the panes. That moisture is inside a sealed unit. Nobody can clean it from either side.
- Marks that only show in the rain. Cardinal says materials that touch glass while a window is made and installed can leave a residue that’s visible in normal light, “or only when moisture is present.” If you only see a pattern when the glass is wet, that may be what it is.
Before we come inside
Inside work means we’re in your home. A little prep makes the visit quicker for everyone:
- Clear the sills. Plants, photos and anything breakable should come off first.
- Pull furniture a step back from the windows if you can.
- Raise the blinds and tie back the curtains.
- Keep pets in another room while we work inside.
- Tell us about any window that sticks, is painted shut or has a cracked pane. We won’t force it.
- Point out tint film or decals you want left alone.
Outside, leave the gate open and show us anything fragile along the walls, like a birdbath or a planter.
Pairing windows with a house wash
Washing siding sends spray and grime onto the glass. So if you want both, we do the house wash first and the windows last, in one visit. That way the rinse water from the walls doesn’t land on glass we just finished.
You probably don’t need this if…
- You have a few easy, ground floor windows and a spare Saturday. A bucket of mild soapy water and a squeegee will do it.
- The glass is fogged between the panes, cracked or broken. We don’t replace glass or repair seals. Call a window company.
- The frames are rotting or the sashes won’t open. That’s repair work, and we don’t do it.
- You’re about to have the house painted. Wait until the painters are done, then book the windows.
What happens next
Book a free exterior evaluation. We’ll count the windows, look at the screens, and point out any glass with spots or scratches that won’t clean out. You’ll know what to expect before the day.
Or call or text Terrance at (812) 664-6222. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
Common questions
Will my windows be streak-free?
We work to leave clear glass, and we check each window in daylight before we pack up. We won’t promise perfection, though. Low evening sun can show marks you’d never see at noon, and some spots, like old hard water rings, may not fully come off. If you notice something we missed, tell us.
Do I need to be home?
For the inside, yes, or someone you trust needs to let us in. For outside only, you don’t have to be there, as long as we can get to every window and the gate is open. Tell us about dogs in the yard before we arrive.
How often should windows be cleaned?
There’s no set rule. It depends on trees, pollen, dust from a nearby road and how much the view matters to you. Cardinal’s glass bulletin says not to let dirt and residue sit on glass for a long time, so a regular schedule beats a once-a-decade scrub. Not sure what yours needs? Ask at the evaluation.
