Crystal-clear results for impact glass, second-story windows, and salt-air haze — professional window cleaning throughout Southwest Florida with no streaks and no ladder damage.
Windows in Southwest Florida face two environmental challenges that simply do not exist in most other regions: Gulf Coast salt air and hard water irrigation. Salt deposited by Gulf breezes builds up on glass as a hazy mineral film that accumulates month after month, becoming more visible over time and impossible to remove with standard household cleaners. Irrigation systems drawing from local wells spray mineral-rich water across window frames and glass edges, leaving calcium and iron deposits that etch into the surface if left untreated for multiple seasons.
Beyond mineral staining, Florida's humidity and organic environment mean window screens accumulate debris quickly, tracks collect moisture and insect deposits, and frame exteriors develop algae and mold growth in shaded areas. A professionally cleaned window is not just glass — it is glass, frame, screen, track, and sill, all cleaned in a single visit. The difference between a clean window and a properly detailed window is immediately visible when sunlight hits the glass from an angle.
Rain Exterior Home Service provides window cleaning throughout Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, and surrounding communities. We clean impact-resistant windows regularly — using solutions and tools safe for laminated glass and impact coatings. For second and third-story windows, we use water-fed pole systems with purified water for streak-free results without ladder contact with your gutters or roof. Screens are removed, cleaned separately, and replaced. Tracks and sills are cleaned as standard.
Most homeowners schedule professional window cleaning twice a year — spring and fall — to manage salt air accumulation and mineral buildup before it becomes difficult to remove. Homes directly on the Gulf or in high-salt-exposure areas may benefit from quarterly service. Ask about our recurring window cleaning plans at reduced rates for scheduled maintenance.
Results
How It Works
We count windows, assess height, identify impact glass, louvered windows, or specialty glazing, and check for hard water mineral deposits before selecting the right tools and solutions.
Removable screens are taken out, cleaned separately, and rinsed. Window frames and tracks are wiped down before the glass is cleaned. Tracks accumulate significant debris in Florida's dusty, humid conditions.
Glass is cleaned with professional solutions using squeegee technique or a water-fed pole system with purified water for upper floors. Impact glass coatings are treated with low-pH solutions that do not damage the laminate or seal.
Frames, sills, and glass edges are hand-detailed. Screens are inspected for tears and replaced in their correct positions. We walk the job with you before leaving to ensure your satisfaction.
Common Questions
Yes. Impact windows are standard throughout Southwest Florida and we clean them regularly. Impact glass uses a laminated construction with a PVB or SGP interlayer, and the exterior surface has a special coating on some models. We use low-pH, non-abrasive solutions that are safe for impact glass coatings and avoid squeegee blades and scrubbers that could scratch the surface. We are familiar with the major impact window brands installed in Fort Myers and Naples homes.
We use water-fed pole systems for second and third-story windows — an extending pole with a brush head connected to purified water. Purified water leaves no mineral residue, producing a streak-free result without ladders on your roof or gutters. For certain window configurations where pole cleaning is not practical, we use extension ladders with standoff brackets that protect your gutters and fascia from ladder contact.
Most Southwest Florida homeowners clean windows twice a year — once in spring before the rainy season and once in fall. Salt air from the Gulf deposits a mineral haze on glass that builds up over months and is visible in oblique lighting. Hard water from irrigation systems adds calcium deposits along the bottom of window frames and glass edges. Homes directly on the Gulf or bay may need quarterly cleaning due to higher salt exposure.
Light to moderate hard water mineral deposits on glass can be treated with a descaling solution during professional cleaning. Heavy mineral deposits that have etched into the glass surface — typically from sprinkler systems spraying directly onto windows for months or years — may require specialized glass restoration products in addition to standard cleaning. We assess the degree of mineral staining before starting and advise you on what is achievable.
Yes. Our window cleaning service includes the glass, frame exterior wipe-down, screen cleaning, track cleaning, and sill cleaning. Tracks in Florida homes accumulate significant debris — dead insects, dust, and moisture deposits — and are a meaningful part of the cleaning. Tracks and sills that are visibly stained may need extra attention and we address them as part of the standard job.
What Homeowners Say

"Two-story home with a lot of windows. They used the water-fed pole for the upstairs and it worked perfectly. Clean, no ladder on the gutters, and done faster than I expected. Will book them every six months."
