Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, SlopeSide Cleaning cleans both interior and exterior panes. Just like with a pair of sunglasses, cleaning only one side doesn't give you the full benefit. For the clearest view and the most vibrant light, it's best to clean both sides of your windows. A thorough cleaning inside and out ensures your home feels brighter and your windows look their absolute best.

  • Absolutely!

    Girdwood has many unorthodox and elevated windows. SlopeSide Cleaning can address them safely!

  • Sure thing! The initial window cleaning after a new-build or remodel is the most important and technical window cleaning you will have. Removing paint, adhesive, wood stain and other post-construction debris safely from the windows is something that SlopeSide Cleaning can certainly do for you.

    Attention to detail is required to correctly perform a post-construction window cleaning. Different types of glass have different nuances that must be approached correctly to avoid damage. Sadly, many windows become damaged due to improper post-construction window cleanings. If you inspect many local windows closely you will see the signs, especially in the evening sunlight.

  • The water-fed pole system is an awesome window cleaning tool SlopeSide Cleaning frequently uses for cleaning exterior windows and window frames.

    Have you ever noticed that rainwater doesn't leave spots on your glass when it dries? That's because rainwater is typically pH neutral and low in minerals. Naturally filtered. In the past, window cleaners often utilized rainwater for its spot-free drying qualities.

    Modern water-fed pole systems operate by filtering regular tap water through a de-ionizing filter. Premium systems, like the one we utilize, employ three stages of filtration: carbon, reverse osmosis, and de-ionizing. The triple-filtered water flows through a small hose within a telescopic cleaning pole. At the pole's head is a brush (or a window-safe scrub pad) used to safely clean and agitate the glass. Purified water flows from small jets inside the brush, effectively rinsing away dirt and particles. No squeegee is needed; the remaining water dries spot-free.

    It's an incredible tool to have! However, a tool is only as effective as the person using it. The system is serviced frequently and filters are replaced regularly, ensuring optimal water quality is maintained and monitored throughout use. Traditional window cleaning (hand squeegee) is also commonly used during cleaning. Each method has a time and a place!

    Whatever the job entails, SlopeSide Cleaning has all the classic techniques and latest tools available to get it done correctly!

  • After the job is complete, you can pay in-person via cash, card, or check. You can also pay your invoice online, if you are unable to be present on the day of your cleaning. All card processing is handled securely by "Square".

  • Yes! While based in Girdwood, SlopeSide Cleaning does offer window cleaning services to surrounding areas

  • It really depends on how many windows you have, how high or large they are, and how accessible your windows may be.

    SlopeSide Cleaning focuses on quality and attention to detail. The initial window window cleaning will take the longest. Any future cleanings are typically much faster than the first.

  • Drawing the window blinds, and removing any plants/ objects / furniture that is directly blocking the windows is always greatly appreciated!

    Most furniture can remain were it is, by simply covering it with a protective drop cloth and cleaning around it. As long as the furniture is not significantly blocking access to your glass, it’s probably fine. If interior ladder work is required, sometimes furniture will need to be moved to ensure a safe ladder angle can be achieved.
