Window Cleaning

The exterior windows are cleaned 3 times per year and the interior windows are cleaned 2 times per year. During the interior cleaning, your partition glass and all sidelights and glass entry doors are also cleaned. To facilitate interior cleaning you will be required to move your furniture away from the windows and partition glass.
