Window Cleaning in Clive, IA
Window Cleaning Built for Clive Seasons
Clive windows get dirty for reasons that change with the calendar. Summer brings heavy, humid air and thunderstorms that throw grit against the glass, and when the rain dries it leaves a film behind. Grass pollen settles on sills and screens early in the summer. Just as that fades, ragweed takes over and keeps coating exterior glass until a hard frost finally ends the season. Screens hold onto that pollen too, and every breeze pushes a little more of it onto the glass.
Then there is the water. The local supply is hard, so sprinkler overspray or a rinse from the garden hose can dry into chalky white spots that ordinary glass cleaner smears around instead of lifting. Winter adds its own layer, with road grime and slush splashing onto lower panes along busy streets like Hickman Road.
If the holidays are coming or spring cleaning has stalled, we can take this tedious job off your list. From sunrooms to showrooms and skylights to storefronts, our crews handle it. With more than 45 years in the business and offices from Maine to California, FISH has turned window cleaning into a craft, and our West Des Moines office brings that experience to window cleaning in Clive.


Residential Window Cleaning for Clive Homes
Scrubbing every window inside and out can take a full weekend. Our residential window cleaning takes a slow and sometimes risky chore and makes it easy. We clean the glass inside and outside your home, including upper-story windows that would otherwise mean hauling out a tall ladder.
We treat your house with care while we work. Crews wear clean shoe covers indoors and move carefully around furniture and window treatments. Houses that back onto the trees along Walnut Creek tend to catch extra pollen and leaf debris, so we pay close attention to the sills and tracks where it gathers. Along with standard windows, we regularly clean:
- Sunrooms and enclosed porches
- Skylights
- Glass storm doors
- French doors and sidelights
- Bay and bow windows

Commercial Window Cleaning for Offices and Storefronts
Our commercial window cleaning clears fingerprints and streaks from large storefront panes and office glass, so the business behind them looks cared for. Showrooms and sales floors get the same attention.
Much of the retail and office space in Clive sits along Hickman Road and University Avenue, where traffic dust and summer storms mark ground-floor glass quickly. Some businesses need weekly service to keep entrances presentable. Others do fine with a monthly or seasonal visit. We build a schedule around your hours and your foot traffic, and we work year-round.
Property managers can hand us a whole building and stop thinking about the windows. Tall entry glass and upper-floor windows are handled by crews with the right equipment, so your staff never has to climb anything.

The Crew That Comes to Your Property
Every member of our team is expected to work safely and treat your property with respect, whether the job is a small ranch house or a busy office entrance.
Our crews are licensed, bonded and insured, so your property is protected at every step. Each location follows the same national standards, carried out by people who work locally. Our Customer Pledge of Satisfaction sums up the standard we hold ourselves to: "Superior service to every customer, every time."
Beyond the Glass in Clive
Once the glass is done, though, the rest of a home can look tired by comparison.
We can also clean mirrors and ceiling fans. Mirrors near a sink or shower pick up the same hard water spotting as windows do. Many locations offer gutter and light fixture cleaning as add-ons. Ask about them when you call, since what is available depends on the office. Custom scheduling plans let you set regular visits, so your windows never drift back to where they started.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be home for my window cleaning?
For interior work, someone needs to let the crew in and point out any rooms that are off limits. If you only want the outside glass cleaned, you usually do not need to be there, as long as gates are unlocked and pets are kept indoors. Mention any alarm systems or locked side yards when you book.
How is the price of a cleaning worked out?
We price each job after a free on-site estimate rather than quoting a flat rate over the phone. The number and style of your windows and how high they sit both affect the cost, as does whether you want the inside cleaned as well as the outside. You get the figure before any work starts.
Can you clean windows when it is freezing outside?
Interior glass can be cleaned in any weather, so winter is a good time to catch up on the inside of a house or office. Exterior work depends on conditions on the day. If ice or heavy snow makes ladders unsafe, we would rather reschedule than rush the job.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Clear items off window sills and move furniture back from the glass so the crew has room to work. Outside, turn off lawn sprinklers for the day of the visit. Hard water hitting freshly cleaned glass can leave spots almost immediately.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes, we accept all major credit cards. Let us know how you plan to pay when you book so everything is ready on the day.
