Getting Your Palm Springs Home Ready for Modernism Week: A Window Cleaning Guide

Every February, Palm Springs transforms into the world's premier destination for mid-century modern architecture enthusiasts. Modernism Week draws tens of thousands of visitors who come specifically to admire the city's iconic homes — and if you live in a mid-century modern home in Old Las Palmas, The Mesa, Vista Las Palmas, Deepwell, Indian Canyons, Ruth Hardy Park, or anywhere in Palm Springs, your home is part of that story.

Why Windows Matter During Modernism Week

Mid-century modern architecture is defined by its relationship between interior and exterior space — and that relationship is mediated almost entirely by glass. Floor-to-ceiling windows, clerestory bands, and glass walls are the signature elements of Palm Springs MCM design. When those windows are clean, the architecture sings. When they're streaked or mineral-stained, the entire effect is diminished.

The Modernism Week Window Cleaning Timeline

We recommend scheduling your Modernism Week window cleaning 1–2 weeks before the event begins (typically the second week of February). This gives enough time for the cleaning to be done properly without the risk of a late dust event undoing the work right before the event. If a dust storm does hit after your cleaning, our 30-Day Rain or Dust Storm Guarantee means we'll come back and re-clean at no charge.

Book Early — February Fills Fast

Modernism Week is our single busiest booking period of the year. We strongly recommend scheduling your February service in December or January to secure your preferred date. Last-minute bookings in early February are rarely available.

Beyond Windows: A Complete Pre-Modernism Week Checklist

While we're at your home, consider bundling: solar panel cleaning (maximize efficiency heading into the spring production season), screen cleaning (fresh screens make interiors feel brighter), and track cleaning (clean tracks prevent sliding door issues during high-traffic periods).
