Inside windows
Inside window cleaning
Inside glass picks up fingerprints, steam marks, kitchen splashes and the film that builds up near a radiator or a cooker. You see it every day from the inside.
At Full View, I clean inside windows by hand. A washer wets and loosens the dirt, then a squeegee pulls the dirty water off the glass in clean strokes so it can’t dry on.
Outside, a pole can rinse dirt onto the ground. Indoors there’s nowhere for rinse water to go, which is why insides are done by hand.
The method
How inside window cleaning works
The same four steps every visit.
We agree how I get in
For insides I have to come into your home, so we agree access when I reply to your quote request.
A washer wets the glass
I wet the glass and frames with a washer, which loosens the dirt that has built up.
A squeegee clears it
The squeegee pulls the dirty water off in strokes, so it doesn’t dry on the glass.
What's included
What’s included
Glass
The inside of every window I can get to.
Edges and sills
Drips at the edges are wiped so nothing is left to dry on.
Care with your things
Tell me what’s fragile or what to leave alone, and I will.
Before I come in
What to tell me first
Which windows
Say which rooms and whether any don’t open or are hard to get at.
Pets and people
Tell me about pets, so I know before I come in.
Anything fragile
If something’s fragile or a window needs leaving alone, tell me first.
The method, explained
Why inside windows are cleaned by hand
A water-fed pole works outside because the rinse water has somewhere to go: down the glass, over the sill and onto the ground. Indoors that water would end up on your sills, your walls and your floor, so a pole isn’t the right tool.
Instead I use the traditional method, done carefully. A washer is a soft sleeve on a handle. I wet it, run it over the glass to loosen the film, then pull the dirty water off with a squeegee in overlapping strokes. Any drips at the edges are wiped with a cloth before they can dry.
It’s slower than outside, because every pane is done by hand, but it’s the right way to get indoor glass clear without leaving water behind.
- A washer to loosen the dirt
- A squeegee to clear the water
- A cloth for edges and sills

Inside your home
How I look after your home
Cloths on the sill
I put a cloth down at each window so drips land on that, not on your sill or carpet.
Your things stay put
If something is on a sill, I’ll ask before I move it, or work around it.
A time that suits you
For insides I agree a time with you when I reply, because someone needs to be in.
Leave a room out
If you’d rather I didn’t go into a room, tell me and I won’t.
Honest about the limits
What an inside clean doesn’t cover
Blinds and curtains
I work around them, but I don’t wash or dust them.
Scratches and etching
Cleaning lifts dirt. It can’t remove scratches, etching or marks inside sealed double glazing.
Condensation between panes
Misting inside a double-glazed unit is a failed seal, not dirt. A glazier can tell you about replacing the unit.
Windows I can't reach safely
Very high stairwell or skylight glass may be out of reach. I’ll tell you before I start.
FAQs
Questions about inside cleaning
Do I need to be in for insides?
Yes, or we agree another way for me to get in. I won’t come in without us agreeing it first.
How often do inside windows need cleaning?
Every 12 weeks on my round. Inside glass gets dirty more slowly than outside glass.
Why is it done by hand?
Indoors there’s nowhere for rinse water to go, so I use a washer and a squeegee instead of a pole.
Do you move my things?
I’ll work around what’s there. If you want a sill or a shelf cleared first, I’ll tell you when I reply.
Can I have only the insides done?
Yes. Choose "Inside windows" on the quote form.
What’s included in an inside clean?
The glass of the windows I can get to, with drips at the edges wiped.
Do you clean in the rain?
Rain doesn’t affect insides, but I’ll still agree a day with you when I reply.
What affects the quote?
How many windows you have, how easy they are to reach and how dirty they are. That’s why I quote after you tell me about your home.
Do I need to move furniture?
Only if it blocks a window. If something is light and you’re happy for me to move it, I will. Otherwise, clearing the space in front of the window before I arrive helps.
Do you clean blinds or curtains?
No, I clean the windows. I’ll work around blinds and curtains, and tie curtains back if they’re in the way.
Can you do insides without the outsides?
Yes. Choose inside windows on the quote form. Outsides often make the bigger difference to how the house looks from the street, but it is your choice.
Will you wear shoe covers?
Tell me if you’d like me to and I will. I’d rather ask than assume.
