Window Cleaning in Central Luzon

No — rain itself is fairly clean; the spots you see after rain come from dirt already sitting on the glass. Pure-water-cleaned windows usually stay clear through rain, which is why professional rounds run all year. Most round cleaners offer a re-clean if windows genuinely spot within a day or two of the visit — ask about the policy.

Many do, as a priced add-on — conservatory or glass-roof cleaning is slower, needs care about walking loads, and often costs as much as the rest of the house combined. Self-cleaning glass coatings still need occasional professional attention. Ask when booking; not every round cleaner carries the right equipment.

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.

Exteriors: every 4-8 weeks on a regular round keeps glass consistently clear; quarterly is the practical minimum in cities or near trees and coasts. Interiors need cleaning 2-4 times a year in most homes. Homes near the sea (salt), busy roads (film) or construction (dust) need shorter cycles.

Ordinary cleaning won't remove etched mineral staining from sprinklers, leaking gutters or years of run-off — it needs dedicated hard-water removal products or fine polishing, priced as a restoration add-on per pane. Test one window first: if staining has etched into the glass, no chemical fixes it fully. Fix the water source (gutter, sprinkler aim) or the stains return.

First cleans remove accumulated grime, spider webs, and frame dirt that a maintained round never faces — often double the time of a maintenance visit. Expect a first-clean price of 1.5-2x the recurring rate, then the cheaper round price from visit two. This is standard and honest; a cleaner who quotes one flat price forever is either overcharging your round or under-delivering your first clean.

Interior glass for a condo unit runs about PHP 500-1,600 as part of a cleaning visit; a house's full window clean PHP 800-2,500 for single-storey and up to PHP 4,500 for two-storey homes. Hourly equivalents run PHP 200-500 per cleaner. Provincial rates run lower than Metro Manila.

Twice-yearly works for most homes: after the dry season (March-May), when dust build-up peaks, and after typhoon season (roughly June-November), when wind-driven rain leaves grime and water marks. Between those, interior glass holds up well with normal household cleaning.
