Every window, every pane, cleaned streak free — every time.
Minnesota winters leave a film on everything. Road salt, hard water, pollen, and a full season of condensation — by the time spring arrives, most windows haven't been properly cleaned in over a year. BriteShine handles exterior glass on every job — tracks wiped, sills detailed, and a walkthrough before we leave. Interior cleaning and screen washing are available as add-ons, quoted before we start.
Minnesota puts your windows through more than most states.
More natural light enters through professionally cleaned glass — a measurable difference in how bright your home feels.
Recommended cleaning frequency for Minnesota homes — spring after the thaw and fall before the freeze.
Extended window lifespan with regular professional cleaning — mineral buildup etches glass over time if left untreated.
Road salt spray from winter plowing coats lower windows in a cloudy mineral film that doesn't come off with a garden hose. Spring pollen deposits a yellow layer on every surface by May. By the time summer arrives, most Woodbury homes are looking through glass that hasn't been truly clean since before the snow fell. Twice-a-year professional cleaning — spring and fall — is the standard that keeps windows clear, protects the glass long-term, and makes the difference you can see from the street.
We clean the parts other companies skip.
The most common complaint about window cleaning companies isn't the glass — it's everything around it. Screens left dirty and re-installed. Tracks still packed with debris. Sills wiped but not actually clean. Every BriteShine service includes the full job, not just the panes.
Exterior cleaning on every pane — standard
Every exterior window cleaned, every time. Interior cleaning is available as an add-on — takes twice as long and is priced separately when you schedule.
Screen removal, washing, and reinstall
Every screen is pulled, washed separately, and put back correctly — not just wiped in place.
Screen removal, washing, and reinstall — add-on
Every screen pulled, washed separately, and reinstalled correctly. Available as an add-on — quoted before we start.
Sill and frame wipe-down
Every sill and frame detailed before we move to the next window.
Hard water stain treatment (upon request)
Mineral deposit remover applied to glass with built-up calcium or lime — flagged and quoted before we start.
Final walkthrough with the homeowner
We walk every window with you before we leave. If anything's off, we fix it on the spot.
Why thoroughness matters more than speed
A window cleaned quickly looks fine from across the room. A window cleaned completely looks different from outside the house — the kind of difference where you drive past your own home and do a double take. We take longer than the guy who just squeeges the glass because we're doing the whole job. That's the standard every BriteShine technician works to.
Straightforward pricing with no surprises at the door.
Final pricing depends on window count, accessibility, condition, and any hard water stain treatment requested. Use our free estimator for a personalized ballpark — no commitment required.

What happens on the day of your service.
Inspect & Prep
We walk the property first — counting windows, noting any hard water staining, flagging anything that needs special attention or a different approach. Surrounding surfaces are protected before a squeegee touches the first pane.
Clean & Detail
Every exterior window cleaned with professional-grade tools and solutions. Tracks and sills cleaned at each window. Interior cleaning and screens handled separately if added to your service.
Walk & Confirm
We walk every window with you before we leave. You check each one. If anything isn't exactly right — we fix it on the spot, before the truck moves. That's the walkthrough promise.
What Woodbury homeowners ask before their first window cleaning.
How long does window cleaning take?
Exterior-only cleaning on a medium home with 20–25 windows typically takes 1.5–2 hours. Adding interior cleaning roughly doubles the time — a full interior + exterior service on a medium home runs about 3–4 hours.
Do I need to be home during the service?
For exterior-only cleaning, no. For interior windows, we need access to the home — most homeowners leave a key, a garage code, or meet us at the start. We confirm the access plan with you before the appointment so there's no confusion on the day.
What about hard water stains?
Hard water staining — the white mineral deposits that build up around the edges of glass — requires a specialized treatment beyond standard window cleaning. We flag it during the estimate, quote it separately, and apply a mineral deposit remover that restores clarity without scratching the glass. Very heavy or long-term staining may not fully clear in one treatment, and we'll tell you that upfront.
How often should I have my windows cleaned in Minnesota?
Twice a year is the standard for most Woodbury homes — once in spring after the snow melts and road salt dries up, and once in fall before winter sets in. Homes near construction sites, heavy traffic roads, or with significant tree coverage overhead may benefit from a third cleaning mid-summer.
Do you clean skylights, storm windows, or French doors?
Yes — skylights, storm windows, French doors, sliding glass doors, and any other glass surfaces on the property are all handled. Just mention them when you request your estimate so we can account for them in the quote.
Will cleaning remove the haze inside double-pane windows?
No — and any company that tells you otherwise is being misleading. Haze between double-pane glass is caused by a broken seal inside the unit, which allows moisture in. That's a window replacement issue, not a cleaning issue. We'll flag any broken seals we notice during the job so you know what's going on.
