Inside and out, screens and tracks included — with real treatment for the hard-water spots Fort Myers sprinklers leave behind.
Fort Myers glass has a hard life. Irrigation overspray bakes mineral spots onto windows in the afternoon sun. Spring covers everything in a yellow film of pollen. Homes near the Caloosahatchee and the Gulf collect salt haze that dulls the view a little more every week. And the summer rain that seems like free window washing actually dries into streaks over whatever was already on the glass.
Professional window cleaning here is more than soap and a squeegee. The hard-water spotting that sprinklers leave needs a dedicated mineral treatment — more detergent just polishes the deposits. Screens have to come out and get washed separately, tracks and sills cleaned before the glass, and the exterior finished with purified water so nothing dries back onto the pane. That order of operations is why our results look different a month later, not just the first afternoon.
We clean inside and out, handle two-story homes and glass above pool cages with water-fed poles (no ladders on your screen enclosure), and treat screens, tracks, and sills as part of the job rather than upsells. If a sprinkler head is the reason your west-facing windows keep spotting, we will point it out — a five-minute adjustment can save you the recurring problem.
The rhythm that works in Lee County: twice a year — after pollen season and after the rains — with quarterly service for riverfront and coastal homes. Windows also pair naturally with a house wash: exterior first, glass last, everything spotless in one visit.

Lee County water is hard, and irrigation overspray puts it on glass every few days. Over time the minerals bond to the surface. The uncomfortable truth most window cleaners will not tell you up front: past a certain point, hard-water spotting is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it. Knowing which stage yours is at saves you paying for a result that was never possible.
| What you see | Stage | Realistic outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Spots visible only when dry, wipe away wet | Fresh deposit | Comes off completely with a standard clean |
| Cloudy film that returns after normal washing | Bonded mineral scale | Removable with a mineral treatment — an extra step, not a miracle |
| You can feel the spots with a fingernail | Heavy scale | Usually removable, sometimes with several passes |
| Spots stay visible when the glass is wet | Etched into the glass | Permanent. Only glass restoration or replacement changes it. |
| Rainbow sheen or hazy patches between panes | Failed seal, not dirt | Cleaning cannot help — that is a window repair |
How It Works
We count and inspect every pane — noting hard-water spotting from irrigation overspray, salt film, oxidation on older frames, and which screens need to come out. Fort Myers homes with sprinklers hitting the glass have a different job ahead than homes with plain dust and pollen.
Screens come out and get washed separately. Tracks and sills are brushed and rinsed before the glass — cleaning glass above a dirty track just re-streaks it on the first rain.
Professional squeegee work with purified water on the exterior, careful interior passes protecting floors and sills. Hard-water spots get a dedicated mineral treatment rather than more soap — that is the difference between spots gone and spots polished.
Edges detailed, sills wiped dry, screens re-installed square. We walk the house with you in daylight — the only honest way to sign off on glass.
Common Questions
Three local factors drive the Fort Myers price, and we itemize them before starting: hard-water spotting from irrigation overspray needs a mineral treatment beyond a standard wash, homes near the river and the Gulf carry salt-air film that takes an extra pass, and the rest depends on the number of panes, stories, and whether we are doing inside and out or exterior only — plus extras like hard-water spot treatment and screen washing. Quotes are free and exact, usually from a quick description or photos of the home.
Usually, yes. Those are mineral deposits from irrigation water — common across Fort Myers where sprinkler heads reach the windows. Fresh spotting comes off with a dedicated mineral treatment; spotting that has etched into the glass over years can be permanent, and we will tell you honestly which case yours is before we start.
Twice a year works for most homes — spring, after pollen season coats everything in yellow film, and late fall, after the rains stop. Homes near the river or the Gulf pick up salt film faster and often go quarterly.
Screens, tracks, and sills are part of the job, not extras. Clean glass behind a dirty screen looks dirty again in a week — and a clogged track is where the next streak comes from.
Yes — two-story homes are routine, and we use water-fed pole systems to reach glass above lanais and pool cages safely, without ladders on the screen enclosure.
That is actually the best-value order: soft wash the exterior first, windows after, so the glass is the last thing touched and stays spotless. Ask for the combined quote — most Fort Myers clients bundle them.
