EverGlow Exteriors · Clive Window Cleaning · (515) 642-1986

Window cleaning in Clive runs $8 to $16 per window with a $150 minimum, covering exterior glass, interior glass if you choose, screens, sills, and tracks. Clive homes have a specific window problem, and it comes from the best thing about living here: the Greenbelt.

All that tree canopy along Walnut Creek keeps the trail shady and the backyards cool — and it keeps windows damp. Shaded glass dries slowly, and slow-drying glass grows a grimy film that a rainstorm never rinses off. North-facing and creek-facing windows in Clive wear a dull haze most homeowners have stopped seeing. Then there’s June, when the cottonwoods along the Greenbelt let go and every screen on the back of the house packs full of white fluff. Screens are supposed to let air through; by July, half the screens in Clive don’t.

What’s included in every Clive window cleaning

• Exterior glass scrubbed and cleaned streak-free — shade film included
• Interior glass if you choose in-and-out service
• Screens removed, washed until air moves through them again, and reinstalled
• Sills wiped and tracks detailed
• Hard-water spot treatment where sprinklers hit the glass

Second-story glass, zero ladders on your siding

Upper-floor windows get our pure-water pole system: RO/DI-filtered water — zero dissolved minerals — fed up a pole with a soft brush. The brush scrubs the shade grime loose, the pure water rinses it away, and the glass dries spot-free with no squeegee pass. That means no extension ladder against your siding and nobody trampling the landscaping between your house and the trail. We reach about 25 feet from the ground, which handles nearly every two-story in Clive.

Why Clive glass hazes over — and stays that way

Shade grime is organic: algae spores, tree dust, and moisture bonding into a film. It builds so gradually you calibrate to it — until one pane gets cleaned and the room is suddenly brighter than the rest of the house. Because the canopy never goes away, the film always comes back, which is why Greenbelt-adjacent homes get the most out of a service plan: we reset the glass every season before the haze rebuilds, and you save $25 to $75 every visit doing it.

Clive window cleaning cost

Expect $8 to $16 per window, $150 minimum. Exterior-only is the low end; in-and-out with screens and tracks is the high end. A typical Clive two-story with 24 windows lands around $250 to $400 for full service. Text your address to (515) 642-1986 — we’ll count from the street and send an exact number for free.

The complete process is on our main window cleaning page. And if the north side of the house has gone green along with the glass, bundle in pressure washing in Clive — same trip, cleaner house all around.

Clive window cleaning FAQs

Do you clean second-story windows in Clive?

Yes — with the water-fed pole from the ground, up to roughly 25 feet. Back-of-house glass over decks and slopes toward the Greenbelt is no problem; that’s exactly the situation the pole system exists for.

Do I need to be home?

Not for exterior-only service — gate access is all we need, and we’ll text photos when we’re done. Interior service just needs someone to open the door. Plenty of Clive customers book us while they’re at work.

My screens are full of cottonwood. Is that part of the service?

Yes, every time. Screens come off, get washed — not just brushed — and go back on. If cottonwood is your main complaint, book after mid-June when the fluff stops flying so the fix lasts the season.

Will the haze on my shaded windows just come back?

Eventually, yes — shade grime rebuilds over months, not weeks. One cleaning buys you a season or more of clear glass. A twice-a-year or 3x/year schedule keeps creek-facing windows clear year-round, which is why we built the plan discounts.
