Window cleaningin Charlotte,done differently.
Aloe is a Charlotte company. Window cleaning is the flagship — interior and exterior glass, screens, and tracks — with soft washing, pressure washing, gutters, and solar for the rest of the exterior. Here's what the city does to a home, and the rhythm that keeps it clear.
Aloe is based in Charlotte and works the whole city — the older tree-lined blocks near center city, the mid-century ranches of east and west Charlotte, and the newer glass-heavy builds spreading south and northeast. Pollen, hard Carolina sun, and summer storm spatter are the local constants.
Everything from 1920s bungalows in Dilworth and Plaza Midwood with true divided-light sash windows, to 1960s brick ranches, to two- and three-storey new construction in Ballantyne and Steele Creek with large fixed picture glass and second-storey stairwell windows. Mature hardwoods over much of the older housing stock mean heavy leaf and pollen load.
Spring pollen
Charlotte's tree canopy — willow oak, pine, sweetgum — dusts everything yellow-green from late March into April. It cakes on exterior glass, screens, and sills, and the first rain turns it to a film that streaks if you wipe it dry. The clean that lasts is booked for late April or early May, once the drop has mostly stopped.
Summer storms
Afternoon thunderstorms blow grit and organic debris onto the glass and leave mineral spotting as they dry in the sun. West- and south-facing windows take the worst of it. This is the season an exterior-only pass between full cleans earns its keep.
Hard Carolina sun
Low light in the mornings and late afternoon rakes across the glass and shows every bit of film and every dried spot. It's why a window that looked fine at noon looks grubby at 6pm — and why streak-free technique, not just cleaning, is the whole job.
Shade and moisture
North-facing walls, tree-shaded elevations, and anything near irrigation grow a green algae film — on siding, on gutters, on the lower foot of glass. It comes back unless it's treated at the root, which is what soft washing does.
Fall leaf drop
Once the hardwoods let go in October and November, gutters fill fast and downspouts clog. Standing water in a gutter through the first freeze is how fascia and foundations get damaged. Late fall, after the trees are bare, is the clearing that matters most.
- Spring
Full interior + exterior window clean after pollen, screens and tracks included. Soft wash shaded siding. First gutter clearing once the seed drop is done.
- Mid-summer
Exterior-only window pass to clear storm spotting and grit. Optional pressure wash for the driveway and walkways before they green up.
- Late fall
Exterior window clean before the low winter sun arrives. Second gutter clearing once the hardwoods are bare. Book holiday lighting.
This is a starting point, not a rule. Homes under heavy tree cover, near unpaved roads, or with lake or pool exposure usually need more; a sunny, open lot can stretch longer.

Charlotte questions.
How often do Charlotte homes need their windows cleaned?
Twice a year suits most homes here — once after spring pollen, once after the hardwoods drop in fall. Homes under heavy tree cover, near unpaved roads, or with lake or pool exposure often add a third visit.
When is pollen season in Charlotte, and should I wait it out?
The heaviest tree pollen runs roughly late March through April. If you want one clean to last, book it for late April or early May once the yellow-green dusting has mostly stopped. Some homeowners do a quick exterior-only pass mid-season and a full interior/exterior clean afterward.
Do you work in the older neighbourhoods with divided-light windows?
Yes. Dilworth, Myers Park, Elizabeth, and Plaza Midwood have a lot of true divided-light and historic sash windows. They take longer per opening because each small pane is detailed by hand — that's reflected in the quote rather than rushed.
