The Reality of Coastal Living and Window Cleaning on Sanibel Island
Sanibel Island is paradise — with its tropical weather, salty breeze, and beautiful wildlife. But as any local homeowner knows, all that island charm comes with a price: dirty, salty windows. The question isn’t if your windows will get grimy — it’s how often you should clean them to keep your home looking its best.
The short answer? For most homes on Sanibel Island, Clear Quality recommends a full professional window cleaning every 3–4 months, with some homes needing service more frequently depending on location and exposure.
Why Window Cleaning on Sanibel Island Needs to Be More Frequent
Salt Spray and Coastal Moisture
Living near the ocean means constant exposure to salt air, which builds up quickly on windows. This leaves a cloudy film and attracts dirt like a magnet. If left untreated, it can even damage the glass over time. That’s why Aiden and his team at Clear Quality rely on deionized water systems — to strip away salt and minerals without leaving spots or streaks behind.
Humidity and Mold Risk
Florida’s tropical humidity encourages the growth of mold, mildew, and algae — especially around window frames and tracks. Regular window cleaning helps prevent buildup and protects your window seals.
Pollen, Bugs, and Seabirds (Yep, Really)
Island homes often sit near foliage or the beach, meaning they get bombarded with pollen, dead insects, and bird droppings — especially during spring and summer. A full-service cleaning from Clear Quality includes screen removal, track scrubbing, and exterior rinsing with mineral-free water for a complete refresh.

What Makes Clear Quality’s Window Cleaning Different?
Deionized Water System for Spotless Clarity
Unlike DIY methods or companies that just spray and wipe, Clear Quality uses a Xero Pure water-fed pole system with advanced filtration. It rinses your windows using completely mineral-free water, which dries clear — no need for squeegees, and no water spots left behind.
Interior Cleaning with Zero Residue
Inside your home, Aiden’s crew uses a professional-grade soap solution (never store-bought window spray), applied with microfiber mops and precision squeegees. It’s safe for pets and kids and leaves zero buildup.
Screens Removed and Cleaned Separately
Many companies skip this step — but Clear Quality removes each screen, gently washes it down, and cleans the window glass beneath the screen, ensuring the best result.
