The right way to clean old glass
Soap and a squeegee vs.
purified water, a gentle hand
Soap + Squeegee (or a Pressure Wand)
How old windows get streaked or damaged
- Soap film and tap-water minerals dry into streaks on every little divided-light pane
- Hand-wiping each small light is where the streaks and missed corners creep in
- Pressure at the glass risks cracking old panes and lifting soft, aged putty
- Screens left on, so spring pollen washes right back down onto clean glass
Bub's method
Purified Water + a Careful Hand
What older divided-light glass needs
- Deionized water dries spot-free and streak-free across every small pane
- Soft brush and low flow only, nothing forced at aged glazing or wood sashes
- True-divided and storm windows worked gently, light by light
- Screens pulled and cleaned separately so clean glass stays clean

No surprises, straight answers
The questions Columbia homeowners
actually ask
We never put pressure on the glass or the glazing. On older true-divided windows that's how you crack a pane or pop soft putty loose. Our work is a soft brush and purified water at low flow, so nothing's getting forced at aged glass, old seals, or the putty around it.
Light film and pollen wash off in the cleaning. If minerals have etched into the glass over the years, common on older panes near sprinklers, that's set into the surface, a separate restoration step that may only improve it, not fully lift it. We'll tell you straight which kind it is before promising a thing.
Yes, but on their own. Columbia screens cake up with heavy spring pollen, so we take them out and clean them separately rather than letting that grit wash back onto the clean glass. It's an extra step, but it's the difference between a clean pane and a clean window.
We can. The outside gets the purified-water, water-fed treatment to dry spot-free; the interior panes, and all those little divided lights, we clean by hand the traditional way. Tell us which rooms you want done inside and we'll plan for it.
No. Purified water is just water with the minerals taken out, no cleaning chemical in it. The runoff off the glass is clean, so the beds and the old wood sills under your windows are fine.
Yes. Bub's is veteran-owned, licensed, and fully insured, which is the kind of thing you want squared away before anyone's working ladders around your old wood-sash glass. You're covered start to finish, and it's the owner and his crew on the job, the same folks you talked to when you booked.

Getting your quote, step by step
How getting your free window quote works
Setting up a window quote takes a minute, and the price comes off a real count of your panes. Here's how it goes from your first message to a number you can trust.
1
Call or fill out the form and tell us roughly what you've got. A bungalow full of divided-light windows, storm windows, wood sashes, inside-and-out or just the outside. That's all the booking team needs to get you started.
2
Someone reaches out fast, often the same day, and locks in a time that works for you. You hear back from a real person instead of sitting on a callback that never comes.
3
Before any water runs, a tech counts the panes and the stories, checks the glazing and putty on the older sashes for anything soft or cracked, looks at whether any haze is film or etched into the glass, and notes how many screens need cleaning. That sets the scope and the price.
4
The tech sizes up your actual windows and gives you a straight price in person. Free, no obligation, no trip fee. Give the go-ahead and we get to work.

Questions, answered
Common Columbia window cleaning questions
It's the purified water. Tap water spots because of the minerals it carries. Filter those out and the water dries clean off the glass by itself. That matters even more on older divided-light windows, where hand-wiping every little pane is where streaks usually creep in.
Yes. That's exactly why we work the way we do. Older glazing and painted putty can't take pressure or harsh scrubbing, so we keep it to a soft brush, purified water, and a careful hand. Nothing's forced at the glass or the old putty, so the aged sashes come through fine.
Depends what it is. Ordinary film and pollen wash right off. If it's minerals etched into the glass over years, or the fine surface wear old glass gets, that's set in, a separate restoration that may only improve it, not fully clear it. I'll look and tell you honestly which one you're dealing with.
Screens are their own step. The river-valley pollen here cakes them heavy every spring, so we take them out and clean them separately. If we left them on, that grit would just wash back down onto the glass we just cleaned.
With the heavy spring pollen and the river-valley humidity, most homes like a refresh about every about every year-and-a-half to two years. The older shaded streets around Shandon and Forest Acres, with all those small panes catching pollen, tend to want it a touch more often.
Yes. All across Columbia, from Shandon to Forest Acres and out toward the river. We come to you, inside and out if you'd like, no trip fee inside the area.

First time using a company to clean the exterior of our home, because I’m very particular. We could not be more pleased. The cleaning of paint trim, gutters and windows exceeded expectations. The two young men performing the work were exceptionally polite and hard working. We’ll schedule their service again.

I recently used this pressure washing service and was very impressed with the entire experience. The team was extremely professional from start to finish. They arrived right on time and immediately got to work, staying focused and working nonstop until the job was fully completed. What really stood out to me was the quality of the results. Compared to other companies I’ve used in the past, this was by far the best outcome I’ve seen. Everything looked noticeably cleaner and well cared for. I would absolutely use their services again in the future and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and neighbors looking for reliable, high-quality pressure washing. Mark

Window Cleaning in Columbia, Soda City
Your local Columbia window cleaning crew
A lot of Columbia's character is in its older glass: the divided-light windows on the bungalows around Shandon, the wood-sash and storm windows in Forest Acres, panes that have been in their frames a long time. That older glazing and painted putty doesn't want anything aggressive thrown at it, and the river-valley pollen that coats every spring sits heavy on all those little panes. So we go careful. We run purified water, with the minerals filtered clean out of it, fed through a soft brush, and on the true-divided panes a careful hand to work each light without leaning on the old glazing. The pure water rinses the grime and dries with no spots and no streaks, because there's nothing left in it to dry down. No pressure on the glass, nothing that lifts soft old putty.
Columbia sits where the Saluda and Broad rivers meet to form the Congaree, and that river-valley humidity, paired with some of the hottest summers in South Carolina, is exactly why exteriors here grow algae so fast. From the older brick around Shandon and Five Points to the homes in Forest Acres and out toward Lake Murray, the Midlands' iron-rich red clay leaves a rusty tint on top of the green, and a garden hose won't touch either one.
We bring our window cleaning to Burnside East, Olympia, and Jaggers Terrace and the rest of Columbia, with the same crew and the same care.
While we're at your Columbia place, we can knock out your house washing, roof cleaning, and brick cleaning too, all on the same trip with no second trip fee.
Veteran-owned, and we treat your home like it's ours.

Our process, step by step
How our window cleaning works on Columbia's older windows
Here's exactly how we bring older divided-light and wood-sash glass back to clear. Purified water and a careful hand, nothing that stresses aged glazing.
We walk the house and see what we're working with: true-divided lights, single big panes, storm windows, painted wood sashes. We check the glazing and putty for anything soft or cracked, and we spot any cloudy patches that look more like etched-in minerals than ordinary film, since those are a different job.
Tap water spots because of the minerals in it. We filter those out so what touches your glass is pure. Nothing left to dry into streaks or hard-water spots on all those small panes. That's how the glass dries clear without anyone wiping each light by hand.
A soft brush and purified water work the pollen and grime loose. On older true-divided and storm windows we slow down and work each pane carefully so we're never leaning on the old glazing or driving water at the putty. No pressure on the glass, nothing that lifts aged glazing.
The spring pollen here loads the screens up heavy, so we clean those separately instead of washing their grit back onto clean glass. Then the pure water sheets and dries on its own. No squeegee needed, and we check the wood sills and tracks so the whole window looks right.
