Outside windows
Outside window cleaning
Outside windows pick up dirt all year: dust, traffic film, pollen, bird mess, and the green film that builds up on frames. You see it every time you look out.
At Full View, I clean the outsides with pure water through a water-fed pole. The pole carries the water up to the glass so I can work from the ground, upstairs windows included.
Pure water is tap water with the minerals taken out. With nothing left in it to dry onto the glass, the window dries clear by itself.
The method
How outside window cleaning works
The same four steps every visit.
Pure water is made
A reverse osmosis and deionisation system in my van takes the minerals out of the water before it reaches your house.
The pole does the reaching
The pole carries the water up to the glass while I stand on the ground. The HSE’s window cleaning guidance says to avoid work at height where reasonably practicable.
The glass is washed and rinsed
I scrub the glass with a soft brush and pure water, then rinse it with more of the same. Nothing is wiped dry.
It dries by itself
With the minerals gone, the glass dries without leaving marks. That’s why it can look wet when I leave.

Honest about the limits
Good to know
Windows can look wet
It’s the water drying. It dries clear, with no cloth and no streaks.
A first clean can show spots
Old soap or detergent residue can run out of frames for the first few cleans. It usually fades.
Tell me about frames
If you have cracked paint, or timber frames with oil or varnish, say so. Poles need care around both.
Side and back access
Leave gates unlocked or tell me where the key is. If I can’t reach a window, I’ll tell you which. More on access.
Pets
Dogs loose in the garden can stop a visit. Let me know where they’ll be.
Cars, bins and bikes
If something blocks a window, moving it before I arrive helps.

FAQs
Questions about outside cleaning
Will the pole touch my frames?
The soft brush works on the glass and around its edges. If you have cracked paint, or timber frames finished with oil or varnish, tell me first so I can take care around them.
How often do outside windows need cleaning?
Every 6 weeks on my round. You can also ask for a one-off clean, but dirt builds up again.
Do I need to be in?
Not for outsides, as long as I can reach every window. For insides, yes, or someone who can let me in.
Why do my windows look wet when you’ve finished?
Pure water dries without leaving marks, so I leave it to dry. Wiping would add streaks.
Do you clean in the rain?
It depends how hard it’s raining. If I can’t do a proper job I’ll move the visit and let you know. More in can windows be cleaned in the rain?
What’s included in an outside clean?
The glass of the windows I can reach from the ground, and glass in doors where I can get to them. Ask me about frames and sills.
Will the water damage my plants or paving?
It’s water with the minerals taken out and no soap in it. A little runs off the frames and sills onto the ground below, and it dries without marks.
Do you clean conservatory roofs?
Not as part of a normal outside clean. Roof glass needs a look at access and safety first. Tell me on the form and I’ll say whether I can help. More in conservatory and bay window cleaning.
Do you clean patio doors?
Yes, the glass and frames are part of the outside clean. Cleaning sliding patio doors covers the tracks too.
