Window Cleaning in
Corrales

Corrales is a charming village nestled between Rio Rancho and North Albuquerque, running along the west bank of the Rio Grande. Its character is defined by horse properties, agricultural land, and some of the most beautiful adobe and traditional New Mexico architecture in the region — but all of that character comes with serious window-cleaning challenges.

The bosque along the Rio Grande — the cottonwood forest that lines the river corridor — produces an enormous amount of airborne material in spring. Cottonwood fluff fills the air from late May through June, landing on every glass surface and packing into screens and sills. Combined with pollen from nearby alfalfa fields and the windblown dust common to the Rio Grande valley floor, spring in Corrales is one of the worst times of year for window clarity.

Corrales also has an extensive acequia irrigation network — the traditional earthen waterways that distribute river water to properties throughout the village. Irrigation spray from fields and gardens frequently reaches windows and sills, depositing a mineral-laden film as the water evaporates. Over repeated irrigation cycles, these deposits can build into a whitish scale that is difficult to remove without professional cleaning products.

Adobe construction in Corrales means windows are often deeply recessed in thick walls, creating shadow wells that trap organic debris in the frames and sills. Our team is experienced with this construction style and takes care to clean into the full depth of every recess without wetting exposed plaster.
