Window cleaning built around how Toronto actually gets dirty
Toronto is hard on glass. Lake Ontario humidity draws insects through the summer, and the residue they leave on exterior panes will not rinse off in the rain. The city’s tree canopy drops pollen in May and keeps shaded frames damp enough for mould through spring and fall. Construction dust from condo and transit projects settles as a grey film on windows blocks away from the site. Road spray and hard water finish the job through winter.
That is why a bucket and a rag once a year does not keep Toronto windows clear, and why we built our service around the full window. Every Shine Windows visit covers the glass, the frames, the sills, the tracks, and the screens, because a clean pane inside a dirty frame looks dirty again within weeks.
We have cleaned windows in Toronto for 8 years, from Victorian semis in Roncesvalles to lakefront homes in The Beaches and storefronts on the Danforth. Our crews know which streets fight mould, which ones fight construction dust, and what it takes to get streak-free results on both.
What every window cleaning visit includes
You get the same process at every property:
- Exterior glass, cleaned with purified water-fed poles for upper storeys and hand squeegee work at ground level. Purified water dries without spotting, so no streaks and no residue for new dirt to stick to.
- Interior glass, hand-cleaned with squeegees and lint-free cloths. We work in shoe covers and move carefully around furniture and blinds.
- Tracks, sills, and frames, wiped and detailed. This is where most companies stop short, and it is where the dirt comes back first.
- Screens, removed, washed, and reinstalled.
- Before and after photos, sent to you when the job is done. If we cleaned it, you can see it, including the upper-storey windows you cannot check yourself.
For paint overspray, sticker residue, and post-construction debris, we use scrapers and specialty solutions rated for glass. Post-construction window cleaning is one of our most requested jobs in Toronto given how much building is going on, and it takes different tools and more time than a maintenance clean. Tell us when you book so we quote it right.
SCHEDULE AN ESTIMATE FOR YOUR WINDOW CLEANING SERVICESResidential and Commercial window cleaning
Most of our work is residential window cleaning: houses, semis, and townhomes across Toronto, cleaned inside and out in two to four hours depending on size. We also handle low-rise commercial window cleaning for storefronts, restaurants, offices, and buildings under four storeys, on recurring schedules or one-off cleans.
Many customers book eavestrough and gutter cleaning or pressure washing in the same visit. The same spring pollen and fall debris that coat your windows also fill your eavestroughs, and doing both at once saves you a second service call. We also handle deck cleaning through the warmer months.
Window cleaning prices in Toronto
Window washing in Toronto typically runs by a custom price for a standard two-storey detached home, exterior only, and custom pricing for interior and exterior together. Bungalows and townhomes cost less. Larger homes with skylights, solariums, or third-storey glass cost more.
The price depends on window count, storey height, and access, not on your postal code.
We publish our rates on our pricing page so you know what to expect before you call, and every quote is free and specific to your home. No deposit, and you pay when the work is done and you have seen the photos.

SCHEDULE AN ESTIMATEToronto window cleaning FAQs
How often should windows be cleaned in Toronto?
Twice a year works for most Toronto homes: a spring clean in May or June once pollen season ends, and a fall clean in September or October before the weather turns. Homes near the lake, under heavy tree cover, or close to construction get dirty faster and often book three times a year. Storefronts and restaurants usually run monthly.
How do you clean windows without streaks?
Streaks come from cleaning solution that dries on the glass and from minerals in tap water. We prevent both. Exterior glass gets purified, de-ionized water through water-fed poles, which dries spot-free because there are no minerals left to deposit. Interior glass gets a squeegee finish with lint-free detailing on the edges. Sun-heated glass streaks fastest, so crews work around sun exposure on hot days.
Can you remove mould from windows and frames?
Yes. Mould on Toronto window frames is common on north-facing and tree-shaded windows, where frames stay damp after rain. We clean mould off glass, frames, and sills as part of the standard service. If mould keeps returning between the panes of a sealed unit, that points to a failed seal, and we will tell you if we see it rather than just wiping the symptom.
Do you clean window screens and tracks?
Yes, on every visit. Screens come off, get washed, and go back on. Tracks and sills get wiped and detailed. Dirty tracks are the first thing that makes a freshly cleaned window look bad, so we treat them as part of the window, not an add-on.
When is the best time to book window cleaning in Toronto?
May, June, September, and October are the busiest months, and spring slots fill [X] weeks out. If you want a specific week in peak season, book early. We clean year-round, and winter appointments are easier to get on short notice. For urgent jobs, call 416-949-3874 and we will fit you in as fast as the schedule allows.
Do you clean interior and exterior windows in one visit?
Yes. One crew, one visit, inside and out, including tracks, sills, and screens. Exterior-only cleans are available too, and they are the most common choice for upper floors and for customers on a recurring schedule.
