Window Cleaning in Tallinn | Kodukoristus Tallinn

Kodukoristus Tallinn cleans window panes, frames, window sills and balcony panes inside and out using a squeegee and microfibre cloths, not paper towels that leave an uneven fibre mark on the glass. At the beginning of each job, we go over the windows together with the customer and write a list of what opens and what doesn't, because the window sashes in the old panel house have been stuck with paint over the years.

Kodukoristus Tallinn is a cleaning company operating in Kristiine since 2013. Two of its 22 cleaners wash 14 windows of a private house in 4 hours. From 2013 to the end of 2025, cleaners washed 22,904 windows and glass walls of 720 balconies during 2,411 window cleaning jobs. Window cleaning can be done with regular home cleaning in the same visit, because the window sill and radiator next to the glass are included in the regular home cleaning.

Window cleaning and related work

Window cleaning includes the washing of private house windows, skylights, apartment windows and balcony glass.

  • Washing the large window from the inside, apartment buildings can be seen from the window, we remove the drops of pine resin from the glass with a separate tool before pulling the squeegee.

    Private House Window Washing

    Window cleaning for a house covers the interior and exterior glass, window sills, frames and handles of the building and does it with a 35cm squeegee for large windows and a 25cm for smaller casement windows, so that one stroke leaves a streak-free surface on the glass without wiping.

    In a multi-story private house, Kodukoristus Tallinn works with two cleaners, and the gaps between the frames and the corners of the windowsill are vacuumed dry before washing the glass, because the wet cloth makes a paste of the dry dust in the gaps between the frames.

  • High-floor window cleaning with a squeegee, a sprayer and cloth on the windowsill, there were 129 skylights in the skylight washing list in 2025.

    Washing of skylights

    Skylights are washed from the inside through a tilting mechanism, inside which the glass moves out as it opens on hinges, so there is no need for scaffolding or going to the roof, and both the inner and outer surfaces of the glass remain accessible at the same time.

    Kodukoristus Tallinn cleans the tilt track before washing the glass with a soft-bristled vacuum, not windshield washer fluid, because the liquid collects in the narrow track and starts to creak the mechanism the next time it is opened. In the spring, pollen also accumulates in the track.

  • Wash the apartment window with a squeegee, the apartment buildings and the parking lot can be seen from the window, the first prefabricated houses in Mustamäe were completed in 1964.

    Apartment Window Washing

    Apartment window cleaning includes tilt-and-turn PVC window panes, rubber seals, and the bottom drain, which must remain free of debris because a clogged drain collects condensation water inside the frame, which promotes mould growth on the bottom of the frame.

    Kodukoristus Tallinn does not wash the white PVC frame with an abrasive sponge, because the sponge will leave matte scratches on the frame, where the dust will stick more quickly the next time.

  • High-floor window cleaning in the apartment with a window washer, a tool basket on the windowsill, which always stands on the side of the window sill in the room, so that nothing falls from a high floor.

    Balcony glass washing

    Washing the balcony glass cleans the glass panels on both sides and the lower metal frame, where street dust and pollen accumulates more than on a regular window, because the balcony is open on three sides without a plinth protecting the frame.

    Above the fourth floor, Kodukoristus Tallinn puts the ladder only in front of the closed panels, not at the opened glass opening, and the outer surface of the upper edge of the panel is washed from inside the balcony with an extension arm.

Window Cleaning Prices

Window cleaning starts at €12 per window, cleaned on both sides. A skylight cleaned from indoors starts at €14. Across 340 window-cleaning jobs in 2025, homes had an average of 9.5 windows. There is no travel charge within Tallinn.

What affects the price:

  • window type: A tilt-turn PVC window takes less time than an old double-framed wooden window
  • floor height and whether the window opens completely from the inside or needs an extension rod to wash the outside
  • the total number of windows on the property, because there is a one-off travel time cost per address
  • mosquito nets that are removed before washing and put back after
  • glass condition: the window, washed for the first time in years, needs a second wash due to mineral water stains

How long does window cleaning take?

Washing the inside and outside of five windows of a two-room apartment takes one hour and 30 minutes for one cleaner, including the final cleaning of windowsills and handles. It takes two cleaners 4 hours to wash the 14 windows of a private house over the whole house, because some of the windows are on the second floor and need an extension rod. In 2025, cleaners washed 3,230 windows.

Washing the skylight together with the vacuuming of the tilt track takes 15 minutes, and in the spring, when there is a layer of dried pollen on the track, 25 minutes. Washing balcony glass with two cleaners on one balcony takes 40 minutes, because the glass is washed from both sides and the lower metal frame with a separate cloth.

In winter, we wash windows from the outside only at an air temperature above minus 5 degrees, because at lower temperatures, the washing liquid freezes on the glass before drying and leaves a frost-like stripe. On a colder day, the windows are washed from the inside, and the washing of the exterior gets a new date.

We will respond to the request within one hour during office hours, and the window cleaning day will be arranged within two working days. On the same object with a larger cleaning service, the windows are washed before the floor is washed, because the dust falling from the window cleaning falls on the floor.

The cleaner washes the window with a squeegee, a spray bottle in hand, the terry towels spread on the windowsill collect the water dripping from the washcloth so that it does not soak into the wooden window sill.

Our Work Process

Three steps from window list to clean glass.

  1. 1. List and Overview

    Before washing, we go from room to room with the customer and write down how many windows there are, whether they open and whether there are mosquito nets. Window sashes stuck with paint are marked separately in the list, because they are washed only on the part that extends from the inside.

  2. 2. Protection and Washing

    A protective film goes under the windowsill and on the floor, the mosquito nets are carefully taken out of the frame and put aside in numbered order. The glass is washed with a rubber squeegee with strokes moving from top to bottom, the squeegee blade is wiped with a clean cloth after each stroke so that water does not run back onto the washed glass.

  3. 3. Details and Transfer

    Finally, we clean the frames, handles and sills, refit the insect screens and inspect the glass from an angle that shows any streaks. Report a missed area within 19 hours and we will clean it again free of charge.

How We Choose Window Cleaning Products

The material of the frame and the location of the window decide which tool and technique to use to clean the glass and frame.

Wooden Frames in Kalamaja and Kadriorg

In old wooden houses, we use an ammonia-free cleaning agent on the glass, because ammonia dries and cracks the decades-old layer of oil paint on the frame. We wipe the frame dry, we remove the old putty residues accumulated in the gap between the glass and the frame with a wooden spatula, not a metal one, which leaves a scratch on the surface of the frame.

Plastic frames and Seals

On PVC frames, we clean the rubber seal with a silicone-free product, because silicone leaves a film on the seal, on the tip of which the next dust and pollen stick faster than on clean rubber. Pollen and insect remains are removed from the bottom drain hole of the frame with a needle.

Skylights and Balcony glazing

Skylights and balcony glass differ from ordinary windows in that one opens with a tilting mechanism and the other stands on a balcony open from three directions. Balcony glass washing therefore needs a separate approach, which we describe in more detail on this service's own page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Wash the Windows in a Tallinn Apartment?

We recommend washing the windows of a street-side Tallinn apartment with a balcony 4 times a year, in the same months as the balcony glass: March, end of May, August and October, because traffic dust and an open window in warm weather accumulate dirt faster. Windows facing the courtyard are washed at the end of May after birch pollen.

Do You Have to Open the Window Before Washing?

To wash the outside, yes, the window must open at least on the part within reach. On a window stuck with paint, the part of the glass reaching from the inside is washed, and the washing of the outer surface remains next on the list.

Do you bring all the window cleaning equipment?

We bring two sizes of squeegee, microfibre cloths, window-cleaning solution, an extension pole for second-floor windows and protective film for the sill. Please make sure we can access every window on the agreed list.

Does window cleaning also include washing mosquito nets?

We wipe the mosquito net frame with a damp cloth and the net fabric with the soft nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. Washing net fabric outdoors with water is a separately paid job, because the wet net dries before being put back.

Do you also wash window sills and frames, not just glass?

Yes, the price of the window includes the glass, the inside and outside of the frame and the wiping of the handles and the top of the window sill. Additional cleaning of window sills and handles from 1 euro per window removes old fly marks and dust accumulated under the window sill, dry before wet wiping, because a wet cloth with dry dirt creates a paste-like mark.

How quickly can you order window cleaning?

We will respond to the request within one hour during office hours, and the window cleaning will be done within two working days. Window cleaning ordered together with a deep cleaning is transferred by the coordinator to the same day as the deep cleaning and to the same home record.

Is balcony glass washing a separate service?

Yes, balcony glass washing is a separate service, because more street dust accumulates on the glass wall of the balcony than on a regular window. On the Balcony glass washing page, the price and process of this service are described separately.

In which regions do you do window cleaning?

We clean windows across Tallinn, from Mustamäe apartments to Kadriorg wooden houses, and in Maardu, Viimsi, Saue, Keila and Rae Parish. Outside of Tallinn, windows are washed at the same price, and the trip to the Harju County region is €0.71/km, calculated from the Kristiine base to the centre of the region.
