Window Cleaning at Mystique. Your view, restored.

Mystique, at 6897 Grenadier Boulevard, is one of the newer towers in Pelican Bay. It was completed in 2019 in poured concrete and stucco and holds 77 residences. Larger homes have private elevators that open into the foyer, walls of floor-to-ceiling glass and oversized terraces reached from the living areas and the primary suite. Listings describe views of the Gulf, the mangrove preserve, the golf course and the city skyline, depending on the stack and floor. The building has a 24-hour staffed front desk and concierge, and the Pelican Bay tram stop known as Tram 6 is a short walk away.

Floor-to-ceiling glass shows everything

When a wall is glass from the floor up, every handprint, dog nose and grandchild smudge is at eye level for someone. Low marks that would sit below a sill in an older tower are right in the line of sight here. On large panels we work in long, overlapping strokes so the light from the Gulf side does not catch any streaks, then look at each panel from a seated position as well as standing, since that is how you will see it from the sofa.

Careful with modern glass

Big panels in newer buildings are usually tempered or laminated and may carry factory coatings. We do not use a scraper blade on that glass unless we have checked a small area first and know it is safe; most residue comes off with the right cleaner and a soft pad. If we find a mark that looks like a defect in the glass rather than dirt, we tell you instead of trying to polish it out.

Terraces with outdoor kitchens

Several Mystique residences have terraces with built-in grills or full outdoor kitchens. Cooking smoke leaves a slightly greasy film on the nearest glass and railings, which turns hazy faster than salt alone and smears if you wipe it dry. We remove that film with a degreasing step before the regular cleaning. If you entertain often, tell us where the grill is, and we will pay extra attention to that corner.

Garden-level homes

Mystique also has lower residences with large ground-level terraces, landscaping and views of the tennis courts or a privacy wall. Those homes deal less with wind and more with sprinklers, mulch dust and leaf litter in the door tracks. We rinse and clear the tracks there before cleaning the glass so the sliders run quietly afterward.

Private elevators and the front desk

With a private elevator opening straight into your foyer, our crew needs to be cleared by the desk before they ride up. We send our certificate of insurance to management in advance, give the desk the names of the technicians and the time of the visit, and protect your foyer floor with mats when carrying in equipment. If you are away, the concierge can usually arrange access with your permission.

Motorized shades and window treatments

Many newer homes use motorized shades or sheer drapery in front of the glass. Before we begin, we ask you to raise the shades or show us how the controls work, and we keep spray away from fabric. If you prefer, we can clean the glass behind treatments that stay down, but full access gives the best result.

Size and scheduling

The range of home sizes in this building is wide. A two-bedroom of about 1,370 square feet is often a short visit, while a five-bedroom residence of more than 5,000 square feet with glass walls in several rooms usually needs two technicians and most of a day. Send your unit number and a few photos of the main rooms, and we will reply with a written price and an estimate of the time needed.

What we clean and what we leave to the building

We handle the inside of every window and glass wall, both sides of terrace doors, glass railings reachable from the terrace, frames, tracks and sills, plus screens if requested. Exterior glass on the tower that can only be reached by rope access or a lift is maintained by the association’s contractor.

Between visits

Wipe the glass nearest the grill after each cookout while it is still warm, keep a microfiber cloth near the terrace door for nose and hand prints, and brush sand off feet before coming back from the beach. Those small habits keep glass walls looking their best.
