Window & Facade Cleaning in Carouge
Window and shopfront cleaning in Carouge — from the Rue Ancienne arcades to the PAV façades, done before your doors open.
Window cleaning in Carouge: the shopfront of a commercial Sardinian town
In Carouge, the shopfront is the business. Under the Rue Ancienne arcades and around the Place du Marché, designer boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants stake their first impression on a few square metres of glass: one streak, a limescale deposit or a dull frame is enough to spoil a carefully dressed display. A few hundred metres away, on the Praille-Acacias-Vernets side, the glazed façades of newer buildings raise the opposite challenge: large continuous surfaces exposed to construction and traffic dust. Parfanet handles both realities with the same technical protocol — demineralised osmosis water for a streak-free finish, a telescopic pole for reachable heights, an aerial lift where the façade demands it, and patient hand work pane by pane on small-paned windows. Visits are scheduled early in the morning, before the shops open, and our access is planned around the commune's narrow lanes.
Our technical approach in Carouge
Shopfronts ready to open
We come before the shutters go up: displays, arcades and signage clear by the time the first customer walks in.
Small panes & glazing bars
Pane by pane by hand, with frames, putty and period timber wiped down without soaking them.
Access in narrow lanes
Compact equipment, a mobile osmosis-water tank and short stops: no disruption for neighbours.

Frequently asked questions about window cleaning
Can you clean our shopfront before the shop opens?
Yes, that is our usual slot in Carouge: we come early in the morning, before the shutters go up, so the display is spotless for the first customer. Evenings after closing work just as well.
How do you handle old windows with small panes?
By hand, pane by pane, with carefully controlled moisture. We wipe the glazing bars, frames and sills without soaking the timber or attacking the original putty — a key detail in the old town's buildings.
Can your vehicles and poles get through Carouge's narrow lanes?
Yes. We use compact equipment and a mobile osmosis-water tank with short parking stops, which lets us work under the arcades and in tight streets without blocking access. For smaller jobs our teams also arrive by tram 12 or 18.
Do you clean the glass façades on the Praille-Acacias-Vernets side?
Yes. For these large continuous surfaces we use an osmosis-water telescopic pole and, beyond reachable height, an aerial lift, with full height-safety protocols and an insured team.
What do you do about limescale marks on exposed glazing?
We apply a targeted limescale treatment, then rinse with demineralised osmosis water that dries without deposits. On shopfronts heavily exposed to street spray, one restorative treatment at the start of the contract brings the glass back to baseline.
How often should a Carouge shopfront be cleaned?
For a boutique, gallery or café in Vieux-Carouge we recommend a weekly to fortnightly visit. For offices or a workshop, monthly to quarterly is usually enough.
Is the quote a fixed price in CHF?
Yes. After an on-site visit to measure the surfaces, count the panes and check access, we issue a fixed quote in CHF, valid for a one-off job or a recurring contract with your managing agent.
