Window Cleaning in West Des Moines, IA
Why Windows Get Dirty So Fast in West Des Moines
Spring brings tree pollen that settles on every exterior pane and turns into a yellow film after the first rain. Grass pollen follows in early summer. Then ragweed arrives as summer winds down, often just after the screens have finally been rinsed.
Thunderstorms add their own layer. Warm, humid storms roll through in late spring and early summer, and wind-driven rain splashes dirt and spots across the lower panes. Winters are cold and snowy, and the wind carries road grime onto windows that face busy streets. City tap water is moderately hard, so rinsing windows with a garden hose tends to leave chalky mineral spots once the water dries. Professional window cleaning in West Des Moines clears all of it away, from the frames to the glass, without leaving residue behind.
Residential Window Cleaning for West Des Moines Homes
Our residential window cleaning takes a time consuming and sometimes dangerous chore off your list. We'll clean every window in your home regardless of how hard it is to reach, including the tall second and third story glass on the larger houses around Glen Oaks. Sprinklers and garden hoses leave hard water spots on the lower windows, and we remove that film rather than smearing it around.
We are respectful of your home and wear clean shoe covers whenever we step inside. A spring visit after the tree pollen settles makes sense here, and so does a fall cleaning before the first snow. Around the house, we regularly clean:
- Sunrooms and enclosed porches
- Skylights and transom windows
- French doors and sliding patio doors
- Screens and window tracks
Commercial Window Cleaning for Local Storefronts and Offices
Shoppers at Jordan Creek Town Center and visitors browsing the older storefronts in Historic Valley Junction see your glass before they see anything inside. Our commercial window cleaning removes fingerprints and streaks from large storefront windows, and it keeps office glass and showroom windows clear on a regular schedule. Restaurants and medical offices get the same attention, since smudged entrance doors are the first thing a visitor notices.
Schedules can run weekly or on whatever interval suits your building, and we work around your business hours so the job stays out of your customers' way. We provide year-round service, which matters here because winter slush and summer storms don't wait for a convenient week. We also look after businesses just over the line in Clive and Waukee, where the same pollen and storm seasons apply. Give us a call for a free on-site estimate today.

Window Washing Held to National Standards
We're a team of experienced professionals committed to doing every job properly, with the safety training and equipment that hard-to-reach glass requires. With more than 45 years behind the FISH name and offices from Maine to California.
Our local crew works to the same standards as every other FISH office, while scheduling and service stay right here in town. Our business is licensed, bonded, and insured, so your property is protected at every step. Every visit follows the same routine. We clean each pane inside and out and wipe down the sills and frames. Before we leave, we walk the property and check the glass in daylight.
Our Customer Pledge of Satisfaction
Our pledge to you is simple. If you aren't satisfied with any part of the job, tell us and we'll come back and re-clean those windows at no additional charge. Clean windows change the feel of a room at home, and they're an essential part of how a business looks from the parking lot. Hazy windows make a living room feel dimmer than it is, and a streaked entrance can make a well-kept store look neglected.
We can also clean gutters and ceiling fans, and we'll handle the hard-to-reach spots you'd rather not climb a ladder for. You'll have the benefit of custom scheduling plans, and we accept all major credit cards. Call Fish Window Cleaning of West Des Moines at (515) 223-6480 today for a free estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a spring thunderstorm undo a fresh window cleaning?
Usually not. Most of the spotting you see after a storm comes from pollen and dust that were already on the glass, so clean windows tend to shed rain with far fewer marks. If a heavy storm is forecast for your appointment, we'll talk with you about moving it to a better day.
Is it worth waiting until ragweed season ends to book a fall cleaning?
For exterior glass, booking after ragweed tapers off in early fall means the windows stay clear longer heading into winter. Interior cleaning isn't affected by pollen, so that part can be done any time. We can also split the visit, doing the inside now and the outside later.
How should I get ready before the crew arrives?
Move furniture a short distance from the windows and take fragile items off the sills so we have room to work. Keep pets in a separate room and leave side gates unlocked if we're cleaning the outside. That's all we need from you.
How do you reach high windows that can't be reached from the ground?
We bring ladders and extension poles sized for the job and set them up carefully around landscaping and decks. For glass that's awkward from outside, such as some upper windows over a stairwell, we'll often clean it from the inside when the window design allows.
How is the price for my home or building worked out?
Pricing depends on how many windows you have and how hard they are to reach. Windows with many small divided panes take longer than large single panes, and adding screens or tracks changes the total. We'll give you a clear quote before any work begins.
