East York was a municipality of its own until 1998, when it became part of the City of Toronto. One City ward carries its name: Beaches-East York. In the 2021 Census, 12,790 households in that ward lived in single-detached houses and 6,620 in semi-detached houses. Another 22,285 lived in apartment buildings, about half of them in buildings under 5 storeys. Houses and semis come first below, then apartment buildings and stores.

On a detached or semi-detached house, we mostly use a water-fed pole. A ladder and a squeegee come out less often.
Up to 6 storeys counts as low-rise for us. We mostly clean these buildings with water-fed poles and four-stage filtered water.
For 7 storeys and up, our method is rope access and bosun chairs (seats that hang from a rope). Read about our high-rise window cleaning.
We clean store and restaurant windows, and lobby glass too. We plan the work to keep disruption to your business low.
In your home, we also clean the inside of the windows, the screens and the tracks on request. For windows after construction, see our post-construction cleaning services.
The water first runs through a four-stage filter. It takes out the dissolved solids, down to 0 ppm (parts per million), so nothing is left to dry as spots. We scrub the glass with the brush on the end of the pole and rinse it with the same pure water.
Outwash has over 15 years of experience, so we know which method suits which building. For more, see our main page on window cleaning services in Toronto.

Leslieville, Riverdale, Scarborough and North York are nearby, and we serve them and other parts of the GTA too. Each place below has its own window cleaning page.
