Exterior window cleaning on Marco Island.

Marco Island sits surrounded by water south of Naples, and that island setting makes the salt intense from nearly every direction — Gulf-front condos and homes along the beach take direct spray, while the canal homes threaded through the island's interior get salt off the waterways and the open bay. There's no inland buffer here the way there is on the mainland, so exterior glass across the island collects film fast, whether it faces the beach or a back canal.

Our exterior window cleaning clears that island salt on a set rhythm, flooding the panes with pure water so they dry clear with no spotting. For the mid-rise and high-rise condo glass along the beach, we reach the lower and mid-level panes from the ground with the water-fed pole and finish with a deionized rinse, so a unit's exterior glass dries as spot-free as a home's. The canal homes get the same two-track clean tuned to their exposure.

Many Marco owners are seasonal, so the every-two-month plan running while they're away means the glass is clear on arrival, not a punch-list. Where the intense salt has already bonded into spotting, our hard-water stain removal lifts it first. More on the island in Marco Island.
