Window cleaning in Saint-Jérôme

Window cleaning in Saint-Jérôme: what matters here

In the Rivière-du-Nord RCM, you go from urban neighbourhoods to sloped wooded lots. Conifers there release abundant yellow pollen in late spring, which settles in a layer on the windows, sills and screens.

What the service should cover

• Cleaning the outside of the windows, at ground level and up high
• Cleaning the inside, as an option
• Window frames and sills
• Cleaning the screens
• Glass doors, accessible skylights and glass railings

Planned scope, subject to change before launch. Final details will be confirmed when the service starts.

How it is done

Professional window cleaning is usually done in two ways, often combined:

• With a squeegee, a scrubber and a mild soapy solution, for a streak-free finish on windows within reach.
• With a water-fed pole using pure water: filtered, mineral-free water is sent up a telescopic pole. It lets you clean second-storey windows from the ground, and it dries without leaving any residue.

Frames, sills and screens collect dust, pollen and cobwebs: a good window cleaning takes care of them too, otherwise the glass gets dirty again at the first rain.

When and how often

In Quebec, most homeowners have their windows cleaned once or twice a year:

• In spring, after the snowmelt, to remove road salt, winter dust and, a little later, pollen.
• In fall, before winter, to make the most of the light during the darkest months.

Near a busy road, a construction site, a field or under conifers that release their yellow pollen in late spring, a second cleaning makes a real difference.
