Not every window gets the same treatment. Here's the actual method the squad uses, matched to what each window needs — soap and squeegee where we can reach, a water-fed pole for the rest, and steel wool for anything that won't budge.
For any window we can reach safely from the ground or a short ladder, we use the classic method: a soap-and-water solution applied with a scrubber, then pulled clean with a squeegee in overlapping strokes.
Done right, this method gets glass fully clean and streak-free without needing any special equipment.
Second-story windows and anything else out of safe squeegee reach get the water-fed pole instead. It's a long carbon-fiber pole with a soft brush head, fed with purified, deionized water — water that's had its dissolved minerals stripped out.
The brush agitates the glass to loosen dirt while the pure water rinses it away. Because that water has nothing left in it to leave a residue, it dries completely clear on its own, no wiping needed — which is what makes it possible to clean high glass from ground level without a ladder against your house.
Some buildup doesn't come off with water and a brush alone: baked-on sap, bug residue, paint overspray, or old mineral deposits bonded to the glass. For those spots, we bring in a fine (0000-grade) steel wool along with soap, worked directly on the glass.
Used wet and paired with soap on real glass, this grade of steel wool is soft enough not to scratch. We only bring it out for spot treatment on hard water stains and buildup; it's not part of the standard clean.
Traditional soap and squeegee for easy-reach glass, pure water for height — each window gets what actually cleans it best.
Ground-level cleaning with the water-fed pole means no ladder work on your upper-story glass.
Zero-mineral water on the pole dries completely clear on its own — no streaks, no spotting, no wiping needed.
