Skylight and high window cleaning in Park Shore.

Park Shore puts its glass on two waters at once — the Gulf along Gulf Shore Boulevard and Venetian Bay just behind it — and the high glass catches the worst of the western exposure. Skylights over the top floor of a waterfront home, the tall lanai glass on a Gulf-front condo, the clerestory above a great room facing the sunset: all of it takes direct salt off the Gulf and bakes in the afternoon sun, which is exactly the combination that drives a film high up where it's hardest to reach.

We reach the full height from the ground. The water-fed pole carries pure water to the skylight and the top of the high glass, loosens the salt, and rinses with deionized water that holds no minerals, so a west-facing skylight dries clear instead of spotting in the heat the moment a tap-water rinse evaporates. No ladders against a condo balcony or a pool cage.

West-facing high glass is also where bonded spotting shows up first in Park Shore, so where it has already set along a skylight frame or a tall view pane, our hard-water stain removal lifts it by hand — fine-grade steel wool worked correctly on bare glass, never on a tinted or Low-E skylight dome. We keep the high panes on the same every-two-month rhythm as the rest so the sun never gets months to set the salt in. More in Park Shore.
