Here’s what’s included in balcony cleaning & what we bring with us.
-
We polish both sides of all balcony glass panels using water, glass cleaning & polishing solution, squeegees, and streak-free microfiber cloths. This includes safety rails, full-height glass, and dividers between units.
-
We wipe down all metal framing surrounding your balcony using specialty cloths and gentle degreasers. We also vacuum around tight edges and railings to remove dust, cobwebs, and dirt buildup, especially in corners.
-
We use high dusting tools and high-powered vacuums to remove cobwebs, dust, and insects from ceiling corners, light fixtures, wall edges, and balcony overhangs. This includes safely removing wasp nests or spider webs (non-active) and vacuuming dirt buildup from hard-to-reach spots.
-
We gently but thoroughly wipe down balcony door screens from top to bottom, removing built-up dust and dirt without damaging the mesh.

Door tracks are vacuumed using precision tools, then detailed by hand to remove grime, buildup, and debris leaving them clean and functioning smoothly, like new.

Our team uses high-powered vacuums and extension tools to remove loose dirt, debris, and leaves from all floor surfaces.

For larger terraces, we also manage light weeding and ensure outdoor flooring is swept and detailed by hand where needed.

For furnished balconies, we thoroughly wipe down outdoor chairs, tables, decor, reachable lighting and rail-side planters using microfiber cloths, fresh water and cleaning solutions . We also vacuum cushions if present and ensure all surfaces are free of dust, cobwebs, and residue.

Common Questions About the Balcony Clean
-
We clean both! For furnished balconies, we wipe down all furniture, planters, and decorative items. We also clean the flooring beneath and around furnishings, but we don’t move large, heavy items unless it's safe and manageable.
-
Our Balcony Cleaning is only available as an add-on to our Deep Clean or Moving Clean. This ensures we have access to everything we need inside the unit to perform the job properly, especially water access, which most balconies don't have. Standalone balcony cleans aren't offered at this time.
-
Yes, we bring extension tools that allow us to safely reach and clean glass panels, frames, and sills up to 18 feet high.
-
No, condo regulations typically prohibit power washing or excessive water use. We follow building rules by using minimal water and mop methods that ensure nothing spills onto units below.
-
No, we are not equipped to safely clean animal droppings or biological hazards. We recommend hiring a specialized sanitation company for that.
-
It depends on the size and condition of the space. Most balcony cleans take between 1.5 to 3 hours with 1 or 2 cleaners.
-
Not necessarily. As with our Deep and Moving Cleans, you're welcome to be home or away during the service. If you plan to be out, just make sure we have secure access to your unit (via concierge, lockbox, or key exchange). This also applies to the balcony portion, since we access it through the unit interior.
-
Yes! We work with rental hosts, property managers, and homeowners to prepare spaces between guests or tenants.

If it’s light rain, we can still clean most areas. In heavy rain or unsafe weather, we may need to reschedule your balcony portion and proceed with indoor services.

Yes, we vacuum and hand-detail tracks, and gently wipe down screen doors from top to bottom to remove dust and buildup.
-
We don’t power wash, clean biohazards (like droppings), remove large items, scrubbing bbq appliances, or scrub deep mold from wood decking. If you’re unsure, just ask!
-
Please clear away fragile or valuable items, and ensure we have access to the balcony area. If it’s furnished, no need to move things, we’ll work around them unless directed otherwise.
-
We clean around and under lightweight items when safe to do so. For heavier pieces, we clean around them without moving them unless previously discussed.

-

Balcony Cleaning is available from March to October, depending on weather. We don’t offer this service in winter due to safety and freezing conditions.
