Cape Elizabeth homes take the full brunt of the ocean. Out by Two Lights and along the shore, salt spray coats the glass fast and dries into a haze that a quick wipe doesn’t clear. We clean a lot of windows out here and we know what the exposure does to them.
For upper-floor and exterior glass we run a water-fed pole fed by purified water. We push our water through reverse osmosis and a deionizing resin to pull the minerals out down to zero, so when the brush scrubs and the pole rinses, the glass dries clear on its own, no squeegee, no spotting, and no ladders leaned on the house. Down low and inside we go by hand: a strip washer to cut the dirt, a squeegee for a streak-free pull, and #0000 steel wool to gently lift anything stubborn like sap, bug guts, or mineral stains without scratching the pane.
Oceanfront exposure means salt film builds back quicker here than it does inland, so a lot of Cape homeowners run on a twice-a-year schedule, spring and fall, to stay ahead of it. We do inside and out, screens and tracks every visit.
FAQ
My oceanfront windows haze over fast. Can you keep up with that? That haze is salt film, and our pure-water system pulls it off clean. Homes with heavy exposure usually go twice a year.
Do you clean the big fixed picture windows? We do, inside and out, including the high ones. Our water-fed pole reaches them from the ground.
