The 5 Craziest Things We’ve Seen While Cleaning Windows

Being a window cleaner in Marbella, Estepona, and Sotogrande means we’ve seen it all — from luxury penthouses with rooftop pools to countryside villas with wild visitors. Here are just a few of the craziest, funniest, or most unforgettable moments we’ve had on the job!

1. A Parrot That Tried to Talk to Us

While cleaning a villa in Nueva Andalucía, we were greeted by a talking parrot who kept saying “¡Más limpio!” (“Cleaner!”) every time we wiped the glass. We think he might’ve been a past client’s biggest critic.

2. The Cat Who Refused to Move

One Estepona homeowner’s cat insisted on chasing our squeegee across the glass from the inside… for 20 straight minutes. We got the job done, but only after a full-on squeegee battle.

3. Cleaning During a Surprise Flamenco Party

We arrived at a house near San Pedro for a regular clean — only to find a full flamenco show in the garden. Did we stop working? No. But we may have danced a little while doing the upstairs windows…

4. The Secret Rooftop Garden

One client had a hidden rooftop botanical garden with glass walls — and it was our job to make them sparkle. It felt like walking into a fairytale.

5. The Seagull Standoff

While cleaning a high-rise near the beach in Sotogrande, a very territorial seagull decided we were not welcome. There was squawking. We won.


What’s the wildest thing YOU’VE seen out your window?

Window cleaning isn’t just about soap and water — it’s a front-row seat to the unexpected. Whether your windows are on the ground floor or 5 stories up, we’re ready to clean them (and maybe meet your parrot too).
