Screen & Track Cleaning

The dirty part of the window. Screens trap pollen and cobwebs; tracks collect dirt, dead bugs, and pollen runoff. Both can be cleaned without doing the glass — though most homeowners book it as part of the full package.

Screens

Removed and laid out in a controlled spot — never put down on landscaping.
Dry-vacuumed front and back with a soft brush attachment.
Lightly rinsed if pollen has caked, then air-dried before reinstall.
Frames inspected — bent or torn screens are flagged before re-seating; replacements are not included but a recommendation can be given.

Tracks and sills

Vacuumed of bulk debris using a crevice tool — this is where most of the volume comes out.
Loosened with a damp microfiber, then wiped clean.
Weep holes (the small drains in the bottom track of vinyl windows) cleared so water can escape after rain.
Interior sills wiped down.

Common issue: stink bugs and ladybugs

In the Lehigh Valley, fall window tracks fill with dead stink bugs and Asian ladybugs that crawl into the channels to overwinter. Vacuum-first is essential — a wet wipe alone smears them. Most homes that wait to call until December have several dozen per window.

Common questions

Are screens washed with water?

Lightly rinsed only when needed. Most screens are dry-vacuumed first because pollen and dust come out cleaner that way. Heavily soiled screens (next to a gravel road, near construction) get a soft-brush wash.

What is in the tracks?

Usually some mix of: dirt blown in through the screen, dead insects (especially ladybugs and stink bugs in fall), pollen, mulch fragments, and on older homes a chalky residue from oxidized aluminum. Vacuumed first, wiped second.

Can this be added to a standard cleaning?

Yes — it's already included in the residential package. This page exists for homes that just want screens and tracks done without booking the full glass cleaning, which happens occasionally in the spring or after construction.
