How Professionals Clean Windows Safely
In Hialeah and throughout Miami-Dade County, exterior windows get coated with salt spray, pollen, hard water deposits, and organic growth. Professional exterior window cleaning uses low-pressure techniques — never the high-pressure methods used on concrete or driveways.
Safe PSI for Window Cleaning
Professional window cleaning uses 500–800 PSI maximum with a wide-angle (40° or 65°) nozzle, held at least 12 inches from the glass. This is well below the 2,000–4,000 PSI used for hard surfaces. Many professionals use a pure water fed-pole system that requires no pressure at all.
Window Types Common in South Florida
- Impact windows: Standard in Miami-Dade post-Hurricane Andrew. Safe for low-pressure cleaning
- Aluminum-frame windows: Common in older Hialeah Gardens and Opa-locka homes. Check for oxidation before cleaning
- Sliding glass doors: Found on nearly every South Florida patio — clean tracks and frames too
- Commercial storefronts: Businesses in Doral and Medley benefit from regular exterior window cleaning
Bundling Windows with House Washing
Most homeowners in Miami Lakes, North Miami, and Miramar add window cleaning to their house pressure cleaning appointment. Since the crew and equipment are already on-site, window cleaning as an add-on typically costs 30–40% less than a standalone service.
