5 Best Window Cleaning Companies
in Eglinton East (2026)

Crosstown LRT construction dust. Kingston Road corridor. 15 years of concrete dust on every surface.

Transparency: MANTLE is based in nearby Highland Creek and serves Eglinton East. Honest about gaps.

Eglinton East has endured more construction dust than almost any neighbourhood in Toronto. The Eglinton Crosstown LRT — under construction since 2011 — has coated nearby homes in over a decade of concrete dust, diesel soot, and fine particulates. If you live within 500 metres of Eglinton Ave East, your windows have been absorbing construction fallout for 15 years. Now, with the LRT nearing completion, it's time for a deep reset clean.

Construction dust warning: Concrete dust from LRT construction is highly alkaline (pH 12-13) and abrasive. It etches glass over time, creating permanent haze if left uncleaned for years. Do NOT dry-wipe construction dust — the abrasive particles scratch glass. Always wet-clean first. ClearCoat™ purified water dissolves alkaline residue without chemicals.

Post-LRT "reset clean": Once Crosstown construction wraps, Eglinton East homes will need a comprehensive exterior reset: windows, soffits, fascia, and pressure washing. Years of accumulated concrete dust, diesel soot, and construction grime have built up in layers. A single cleaning removes the surface layer; a deep reset clean addresses the embedded alkaline residue. Ask about our "Post-Construction Package" — windows + pressure wash + soffit/fascia clean at a bundled rate. This is a once-in-15-years deep clean that restores your home's exterior to pre-construction condition.
Kennedy Station area: Homes near Kennedy Station face double exposure — LRT construction dust from Eglinton PLUS TTC bus corridor diesel soot from Kennedy Road. The combination creates a grey-black film that's both abrasive (concrete) and oily (diesel). This compound film requires wet pre-rinsing followed by purified water cleaning. Never dry-wipe — you'll grind concrete particles into the glass.
