How It Works

Why Pure Water Window Cleaning Outperforms Everything Else

Standard tap water contains dissolved minerals — calcium, magnesium, silica — that leave white spots and streaks when water evaporates off glass. This is the reason DIY window cleaning rarely looks truly clean: the water itself is the problem.

NorTech’s pure water window cleaning system filters tap water through deionization cartridges until it reaches 0 TDS — zero total dissolved solids. Water this pure has nothing left to deposit on the glass when it dries, which means no streaks, no spots, and no residue. Ever.

The water is applied through a soft-bristle brush on an extendable pole, agitating the glass surface to break down grime, then rinsed with a final pure water flood that carries everything off cleanly. No squeegees, no chemicals, no ladder risk on multi-story windows.

What We Remove

Types of Window Staining & Buildup We Treat

Not all window contamination is the same. NorTech technicians identify what’s on your glass and apply the right approach for each type — from routine grime to severe mineral etching.

Hard Water & Mineral Deposits

White cloudy spots left by sprinkler overspray, rain runoff, and tap water. Mild deposits respond to pure water cleaning. Severe etching requires a mineral treatment pre-step before standard cleaning.

Oxidation & Surface Haze

UV exposure and environmental pollutants create a dull oxidized haze on glass over time. Professional cleaning restores clarity and transparency that household cleaners can’t match.

Construction Dust & Overspray

Paint overspray, mortar splatter, concrete dust, and drywall residue bond to glass during construction or renovation. Specialty solvents and controlled techniques remove these without scratching.

Algae & Mildew Film

Green or black biological film on glass — common on north-facing and shaded windows in humid climates. Soft wash solution kills the organism; pure water rinse removes all residue.

Bird Droppings & Bug Splatter

Acidic bird droppings etch into glass fast — the longer they sit, the deeper the damage. Prompt professional cleaning removes them before permanent etching sets in.

General Grime & Atmospheric Soiling

Dust, pollen, vehicle exhaust, and airborne particulates accumulate on glass surfaces continuously. Regular professional cleaning prevents buildup from compounding into harder-to-remove contamination.

Pricing Transparency

Exterior Window Cleaning Cost Factors

Window cleaning costs depend on how many windows you have, how high they are, and what condition the glass is in. Click any factor to learn more.

Total window count is the primary driver of time and labor — more windows means a longer appointment and higher cost.
Upper-story windows require extended pole setup and additional time per pane to clean safely from the ground.
Large picture windows and sliding doors take longer per unit than standard-size windows, affecting overall job time.
Severe mineral etching requires a separate pre-treatment step before standard cleaning — adding time and material cost.
Optional add-on — screens must be removed for best results and reinstalled after cleaning.
Paint, mortar, or concrete overspray requires specialty solvents and more labor time to remove without scratching the glass.
Regular 2–4x yearly cleaning prevents mineral etching buildup and keeps each appointment faster and less costly.

What Customers Say About Our Exterior Window Cleaning Service

4.8

Based on 1000+ ratings

“I’d tried every window cleaner on the market and could never get the hard water spots off the back windows near the pool. NorTech came out, treated the glass first, then cleaned it. Completely clear for the first time in years.”

— Diane P.

“The technician used a pole system to clean the second-story windows without a single ladder. I was watching from inside and the glass came out cleaner than I’ve ever seen it. No streaks, no marks, nothing. Booked the quarterly plan on the spot.”

— Arnold K.

“Windows look great. My issue is I specifically asked about the skylights and was told they could do them, but on the day the technician said the pitch was too steep. A heads-up before the appointment would have saved us both time. Results on the standard windows were excellent though.”

— Fiona M.

“We had construction overspray on every window from a renovation next door — paint specks, concrete dust, the works. I thought the glass was ruined. NorTech got every bit of it off without scratching a single pane. Genuinely impressive.”

— James & Sue V.

“Really clean result on all the main windows. There’s one narrow side window they had difficulty accessing because of a bush and it wasn’t as clean as the rest. Small issue on an otherwise great job — I’d still book again.”

— Tanya R.

“I never realized how much cloudy glass was affecting the light in our living room until after they cleaned. The room looks completely different — brighter, more open. Hard to believe it was just dirty windows.”

— Michelle O.

Exterior Window Cleaning — Frequently Asked Questions

Professional exterior window cleaning uses pure water systems — water filtered through deionization or reverse osmosis to remove all dissolved minerals. Because pure water has no mineral content, it evaporates without leaving any residue or streaks. This is fundamentally different from tap water or household window cleaners, which leave behind mineral deposits as they dry.
Yes. Hard water stains — the white cloudy mineral deposits left by sprinkler systems, rain, and tap water — can be removed with professional window cleaning. Mild to moderate staining responds well to pure water cleaning with light agitation. Severe or etched hard water deposits may require a separate mineral deposit treatment before standard cleaning.
Most homeowners benefit from professional exterior window cleaning two to four times per year. Homes near irrigation systems, pools, or construction zones may need more frequent cleaning due to mineral overspray and dust. A minimum of twice yearly keeps windows free of etching-level mineral buildup.
Exterior window cleaning costs depend on the number of windows, the number of stories, window size, and the extent of hard water staining or mineral buildup. Contact NorTech for a free, no-obligation quote based on your specific property.
No. NorTech technicians use soft-bristle water-fed poles, non-abrasive cleaning solutions, and pure water rinse systems that clean without scratching glass surfaces. We do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemical solvents on any window glass.
Yes. NorTech uses water-fed pole systems that extend to reach second and third-story windows safely from the ground — no ladders required in most cases. This is safer for our technicians and eliminates the risk of ladder damage to gutters, siding, or landscaping.
A pure water system filters tap water through deionization or reverse osmosis cartridges, removing all dissolved solids and minerals until the water reaches 0 TDS (total dissolved solids). This ultra-pure water is then applied to windows through a soft brush pole and allowed to dry naturally — leaving no mineral residue and no streaks.
Screens should be removed before exterior window cleaning for the best results. If screens are left in place, they can trap debris and water against the glass, reducing the quality of the clean. NorTech technicians can remove and reinstall screens as part of the service — ask about this when booking.
