Window Cleaning in Káto Lakatámeia

For exterior-only cleans, no — most regular rounds run with the customer out, with payment by app or transfer. Unlock side gates and confine pets before the visit. Interior cleans obviously need access; many customers book inside-and-out once or twice a year and exterior-only in between.

Ask three things: are you insured, what's included (glass only, or frames and sills), and what's the re-clean policy if results disappoint. For regular rounds, reliability beats price — the cheapest cleaner who skips visits costs more per actual clean. Local social groups are genuinely useful for finding established rounds with track records.

Unlock side gates, move cars off the driveway if poles or hoses need the space, close windows fully, and confine pets. For interior cleans, clear window sills of plants and ornaments — cleaners charge for time, and moving your things is time. Flag any cracked panes or fragile lead-light windows before work starts to avoid disputes.

Exterior frames and sills — usually yes with water-fed pole cleaning, since the brush does them anyway. Interior tracks, screens and deep frame scrubbing are typically add-ons. Ask specifically: 'glass only' vs 'glass, frames and sills' is the most common source of disappointment. First cleans should always include frames — dirty frames drip onto clean glass with the first rain.

A standard apartment or house visit runs €20-€60; villas with extensive glass and shutters €50-€150. Many households simply add windows to a general cleaning visit at the cleaner's hourly rate (€10-€20/hour). Prices reflect local wages — well below northern-European levels.

Several times a year, dust carried from the Sahara settles over Cyprus, coating glass, sills and shutters in a fine orange film. Wiping it dry scratches glass — it needs a proper wet clean. After major dust events, cleaners book up fast; a regular schedule through spring keeps ahead of it.
