What does window cleaning cover for Adelaide homes and shopfronts?

Glass is the one surface where a good job and a rushed one look completely different from across the room.

Glass inside and out, with frames and sills wiped. From $145 for up to 10 windows. Double storey and difficult access from $365.

Tracks are where many quotes quietly stop. Ours lists them as an add-on at $10 a window, so you choose them up front instead of finding out on the day.

Glass, frames and tracks. No exterior hard-surface work, that is pressure washing. Curtains behind the glass go to curtain cleaning.

How often should you book a window clean in Adelaide?

Frequency comes down to how exposed the glass is and how much it matters to how the property looks. Most people land in one of these three.

One-off clean

Before a sale or an inspection, after a renovation, or when the glass has simply gone too long. No schedule, no commitment, and you can book the next one whenever you want.

Twice a year at home

A pattern that suits many Adelaide houses. One clean heading into spring and one before Christmas, with coastal and main-road properties often wanting a third.

Monthly or quarterly for business

Shopfronts, offices and showrooms run on a set cycle, because customer-facing glass is dirty again within weeks. Entry doors often get done more often than the rest of the building.

What does a window clean include?

The table price covers the glass, frames and sills. Tracks and flyscreens are add-ons you choose at quote stage.

Glass, inside and out

  • Window panes both sides
  • Sliding and stacker doors
  • Entry and shopfront glass
  • Reachable upper-storey windows
  • Marks and everyday streaking cut back

Frames and sills

  • Accessible frames wiped down
  • Sills and ledges
  • Door thresholds
  • Cobwebs around openings

Add-ons, priced at quote stage

  • Tracks vacuumed and cleaned out, $10 a window
  • Flyscreens removed, washed and refitted
  • Security screens where suitable
  • Glass balustrades and pool fencing
  • Skylights where safely reachable

Adelaide extras

  • Salt film on coastal glass
  • Sprinkler and bore water marks
  • Summer dust on north-facing windows
  • Sap and pollen at Hills properties

Hard water and mineral marks get assessed before we start. Most everyday staining comes off. Older deposits, etching and scratches often will not, and no clean brings damaged glass back. You hear which one you have before we quote.

How does a window clean actually run?

Straightforward on the day, and you do not have to be there for the outside work.

Contact us
  1. Step 01

    We check the access first

    Window count, height, gates, ladders and anything that needs moving, agreed before the day.

  2. Step 02

    Outside first, then inside

    Exterior glass, then frames and tracks if booked, then interior panes, so nothing gets marked twice.

  3. Step 03

    You get a photo report

    Dated before and after photos, including anything we could not shift and why.

  4. Step 04

    Walk-through before we leave

    Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work. A missed pane or a mark left behind gets done there and then.

What does the Adelaide climate do to glass?

Three conditions decide how often windows need doing here.

  • Summer dust film. Dry northerly wind coats glass within days, and it shows worst in morning and afternoon sun.
  • Salt on coastal glass. Homes near Glenelg, Henley Beach and Brighton carry salt as well as dust. It needs a different clean, not a harder wipe.
  • Hard water spotting. Sprinkler water leaves white mineral marks where it hits the glass. Left long enough, they etch the surface.

What should you check before booking a window clean in Adelaide?

Four things that decide what a window quote is really worth.

Does the price include tracks, sills and screens?

This is the most common surprise on a window quote. Glass is one job. Tracks and screens are another.

Get the scope in writing before you book. With us, glass, frames and sills are in the table price, and tracks are $10 a window on top. A quote that never asks about tracks or height is a quote that changes on the day.

Will the hard water marks come off?

Sprinkler overspray is the Adelaide version of this problem. Minerals dry on the glass and bond to it, usually on ground-floor windows facing a lawn.

Fresh marks wash off. Marks left for years have etched into the glass and will lighten rather than disappear. We will tell you which you have before charging you to find out. Send a photo of the worst pane with your enquiry.

How does access change the price?

A lot. Ground floor is straightforward. A second storey depends on what the site allows, and some buildings need specialist height systems we do not provide.

Tell us the number of levels and whether there is safe ground access all the way round. Double storey and difficult access start at $365, so a small double storey can cost more than a large single storey. Gates, side paths and garden beds matter too.

How often do Adelaide windows need doing?

Twice a year suits most houses, usually before spring and before Christmas. That is a floor, not a rule.

Coastal homes need it more often because salt film comes back within weeks. Homes near main roads or unsealed ground collect dust faster. Customer-facing shopfronts generally run monthly or quarterly. Start with one clean and see how long it holds at your place.

Clean glass is a small job that anyone who visits the property actually notices.

Do you need anything else done while we are there?

Booked with the window clean while the crew is already on site.

Flyscreens and security screens

Removed, washed and refitted.

Glass balustrades and fencing

Pool fencing, balconies and stair panels.

Solar panels, gutters and roofs

Solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning and roof soft washing, quoted once we know the roof and access.

Where do we clean windows across Adelaide?

Houses, apartments, townhouses, offices, shops and showrooms across metropolitan Adelaide and the Hills. Request a quote and tell us roughly how many windows you have.

City and inner east

  • Adelaide CBD
  • North Adelaide
  • Kent Town
  • Norwood
  • Unley
  • Burnside
  • Prospect
  • Walkerville

We service everything from CBD apartments to classic bluestone and sandstone villas. Older period homes trap dust on picture rails, high skirting boards, and ceiling roses. We target these exact spots during our visits.

West and coastal

  • Ashford
  • Marleston
  • Glenelg
  • Henley Beach
  • Semaphore
  • West Lakes
  • Port Adelaide

We clean coastal properties and classic brick veneer homes. Salt air blowing off the Gulf leaves a sticky film on glass and jams up window tracks. We dedicate extra time to scrubbing these frames and windows so they slide perfectly.

North, south and the Hills

  • Salisbury
  • Elizabeth
  • Gawler
  • Mawson Lakes
  • Modbury
  • Marion
  • Morphett Vale
  • Noarlunga
  • Stirling
  • Aldgate
  • Mount Barker

We cover the newer estates out on the plains and the older stone properties up in the Hills. Spring pollen hits the Adelaide Hills hard. We recommend booking window and vent cleaning early in the season to keep allergens outside.

What do Adelaide customers ask before booking a window clean?

Do you clean windows for both homes and businesses?

Yes. Houses, apartments and townhouses on one side, offices, shops and showrooms on the other. The method is the same either way. The difference is timing, since businesses usually run on a schedule and homes get booked as they need it.

Can interior and exterior windows both be cleaned?

Yes, and the table prices cover both. Interior work needs access to each room, so we agree a time when someone can let us in.

Are window tracks and sills included in window cleaning?

Sills and frames are included. Tracks are an add-on at $10 a window, because they take real time, especially on sliding doors. Say yes and they are priced in. Say no and you are paying for glass, frames and sills alone.

What affects the cost of window cleaning in Adelaide?

Window count first, which sets the band: $145 for up to 10, $205 for 11 to 20 and $309 for 21 or more. Double storey and difficult access start at $365. Tracks, screens and heavy staining add to it.

Can multi-storey properties have their windows cleaned?

Two-storey homes and low-rise buildings usually yes, where the upper windows can be reached safely from ground level or normal access. We do not offer rope access, abseiling or high-rise systems, so taller buildings need a specialist contractor.

Can hard water or mineral marks be removed from glass?

Often, but not always. Fresh sprinkler and bore water spotting usually comes off. Older deposits can bond to the surface, and glass that is already etched or scratched will not come back. We assess it first and tell you what to expect.

Do you charge per window or per job?

By window count band, not per pane or per hour. We count the windows, check the access, and confirm one price for the job in writing. Tracks are the one per-window add-on, and only if you choose them.

Do you clean flyscreens and glass doors?

Sliding and stacker doors are cleaned both sides as part of the glass. Flyscreens are an add-on: removed, washed and refitted, priced with the job. In Adelaide, screens hold a lot of summer dust, so they are worth including at least once a year.

Do you clean solar panels or gutters?

Yes, as separate quoted jobs rather than part of the window price. Solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning and roof soft washing depend on the roof height, pitch and access, so send a photo and we price it with your windows.

What other cleaning services do we offer in Adelaide?

Most customers book more than one. Same crews, same standards, one invoice.
