New glass is rarely clean glass

When a residence is handed over, the windows usually look fine from across the room, but up close they often carry the marks of construction: drywall and stucco dust, small spots of paint or sealant, sticker residue from the factory labels and fingerprints from the installers. A regular window wash does not remove all of that. A first cleaning after construction takes more time and different tools, and it is worth doing before your furniture, rugs and drapes arrive. Our post-construction window cleaning page explains how we handle it.

Why we don’t rush with a blade

Large panes in new towers are generally tempered or laminated, and some carry coatings that control heat and glare. Scraping such glass with a razor can leave fine scratches, particularly if hard particles are trapped under the blade. We first test a small corner, soften paint and adhesive with the right product, and only then lift what is left. If we find a scratch, chip or seal problem that came from construction, we note and photograph it so you can report it to the builder while the warranty is still in force.

Tracks full of building dust

New sliding-door channels often hold sand, screws, bits of caulk and concrete dust. Pushing a heavy door across that grit wears the rollers from the start. We vacuum and wipe the channels before cleaning the glass and mention anything stuck that we cannot remove safely.

Ten-foot ceilings, tall panels

With ten-foot ceilings, the upper part of each glass panel sits well above arm’s reach. We use extension poles and stable steps indoors, and we put protective pads under anything that touches new floors. Interior panels and both faces of the terrace doors can be reached from inside the home and the terrace.

Moving in during a busy delivery period

When a new building is turned over, dozens of owners move in, decorate and renovate at the same time, and the service elevator schedule fills up quickly. We coordinate with management for an elevator slot, send our certificate of insurance in advance, and can plan your cleaning around flooring, closets and furniture deliveries. The usual order is: construction work done, glass cleaned, then drapes and furniture.

After the first year

Once the construction residue is gone, care is simpler. West-facing glass collects a little salt from the breeze, and terrace doors gather sand from beach days. Lower floors that look over the mangrove preserve see more humidity and night insects drawn to terrace lights, which leave small spots on the outside of the doors. Many owners of homes this size choose a regular plan in season and a single visit before they return in the fall.

What we clean

We clean interior glass, both faces of terrace doors, glass railings reachable from the terrace, frames, tracks and sills, and screens if the home has them. Fixed exterior tower glass reachable only from outside the building is the association’s responsibility and is handled by its contractor.

Tips for new owners

Keep the factory labels in place until we arrive, since peeling them yourself often leaves a sticky layer. Ask your designer to wait until the glass is cleaned before installing drapery, and keep a record of anything you notice on the glass for your builder’s punch list.
