History of professional window cleaning in the Netherlands
Window cleaning has a long history, dating back to the rise of large-scale glass architecture in the nineteenth century. Originally, cleaning was primarily done manually with water, chamois leather, and hand tools. The introduction of the rubber squeegee in the early twentieth century—thanks in part to innovators like Ettore Steccone—enhanced efficiency and cleaner results. In the Netherlands, professional window cleaning, including by companies like Groene Hart, rapidly became more professional due to the rise of specialized cleaning organizations, innovative tools, and safety and environmental regulations. Now, osmosis water is the standard, and sustainable business practices are always taken into account.
The window cleaning process: Safe and structured cleaning
As a certified cleaning company, we adhere to industry best practices, as established by the RAS (Dutch Council for Labor Relations in the Cleaning and Window Cleaning Industry). Our employees work with:
- VCA-certified working methods: Strict adherence to safety protocols for working at heights
- Planned maintenance: Drawing up a customized window cleaning plan, tailored to the level of contamination and location
- Disinfectant pre-cleaning: Preventive cleaning of glass against bacteria, limescale formation and atmospheric dirt
- Inspection and reporting: Documentation of services performed, observed damage and advice on glass condition, all with an eye for transparency
This keeps your windows clean for longer, ensures the appearance of your building is always optimal, and prevents permanent damage from dirt accumulation or water ingress.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does professional window cleaning entail?
Professional window cleaning means your windows, facades, and frames are thoroughly and streak-free cleaned by experienced professionals. Groene Hart Cleaning Company uses decalcified osmosis water, which prevents stains and streaks. We use state-of-the-art techniques like tucker pole systems and traditional washing techniques, so both large commercial buildings and hard-to-reach windows become crystal clear again.
In the Netherlands, window cleaners work according to NEN standards and occupational health and safety legislation. We adhere to all safety protocols and use safe climbing equipment or telescopic poles. This prevents damage to window frames and guarantees long-lasting results. This ensures a clear view of the outside world, fully in accordance with SIEV (Cleaning is a Profession) requirements.
How often should I have my windows cleaned?
The frequency depends on your location and needs. In an urban environment with high air pollution, we recommend window cleaning at least monthly. If your building is located on a busy road or industrial estate, cleaning it every two weeks will keep the windows looking good longer. For schools or healthcare facilities, you're focusing on a hygienic appearance, and monthly or even weekly cleanings are common.
At Groene Hart Cleaning Company, we tailor our cleaning protocol to your personal situation and glass type. Periodic cleaning extends the lifespan of your glass, prevents dirt from building up, and ensures continued compliance with the regulations of the Dutch Glass Industry Association. This way, you keep your investment at its peak.
Are there special techniques for high or hard-to-reach windows?
Certainly, for tall buildings or difficult-to-reach areas, we use increasingly advanced techniques. Telescopic window cleaning systems operate up to 20 meters high, ideal for offices, apartments, and institutions. We combine this with reverse osmosis water cleaning: lightweight carbon poles and pure water ensure streak-free results without any danger to the user or the surrounding area.
In some cases, we use rope access or an aerial work platform, fully compliant with European EN standards. This is a safe and efficient way to reach virtually anywhere without erecting scaffolding. Our certified experts follow the latest innovations from companies like Unger and Kärcher and always choose the smartest, safest solution for your location.
What are the advantages of window cleaning with osmosis water?
Osmosis water is pure, mineral-free water, produced using special filters. This results in truly streak-free windows: the osmosis water dries without leaving any lime or salt residue. With this professional technique, you can achieve a sparkling result even without cleaning agents, perfect for glass facades, conservatories, and façades.
Using reverse osmosis water extends the lifespan of your glass and window frames by preventing the buildup of harmful substances. We always use this technique for large projects because it's fast and efficient, has a low environmental impact, and, according to the RAS Cleaning Manual, is proven more effective than traditional methods. So you benefit from a sustainable and perfectly clean building.
What is the average cost of professional window cleaning in the Netherlands?
The cost of professional window cleaning depends on the number of windows, the type and accessibility of the building, and the chosen frequency. For an average commercial space, prices start at €45 per wash, but for larger buildings, unusual facades, or difficult-to-reach areas, prices are higher. We always prepare a competitive, customized quote, transparently and without surprises.
Many companies opt for a maintenance contract with a fixed monthly fee, for example, in combination with facade cleaning or solar panel cleaning. This is more cost-effective and provides peace of mind. The Cleaning Research Association (VSR) recommends choosing a reliable, certified partner, such as us at Groene Hart Cleaning Company, to ensure quality and safety are always guaranteed.
