Window Cleaning in Melbourne

Window Cleaning Services in Melbourne

Clean glass over a dirty track still looks wrong. The track is where the grit and the winter condensation end up.

We price the glass and the tracks apart so you can choose. A small home is $165 for up to 10 windows, inside and out. Tracks are $15 a window. Double storey starts at $415.

  • Water-fed pole for upper glass, from the ground
  • No blades on toughened glass, ever

What does a window clean actually include?

Glass inside and out, frames wiped, and sills done. Tracks and flyscreens are priced separately because they are separate work, not because they are optional.

Upper glass is cleaned with a water-fed pole from the ground. Purified water carries no minerals, so it dries without leaving a mark and nobody is on a ladder above your garden bed.

We do not put a blade on toughened glass. Some panels carry manufacturing debris fused into the surface, and a scraper drags it across and scratches permanently.

Shopfronts, offices and strata buildings are quoted the same way. For a whole house reset see deep and spring cleaning in Melbourne.

How often should windows be cleaned?

Melbourne answers this differently depending on where you live.

Twice a year

Most inland Melbourne homes. Once after winter clears the rain marks and once before summer entertaining.

Three or four times

Bayside and anything on a main road. Salt film and traffic grime build far faster than they do a few suburbs inland.

Monthly or quarterly

Shopfronts, offices and anything with a street frontage. Handprints at door height show against Melbourne light within days.

Tracks do not need doing every time. Once or twice a year is usually enough, which is exactly why they get their own price rather than being bundled in.

What is covered on every visit?

Four parts, and the last two are priced separately.

Glass, inside and out

  • Streak-free interior and exterior glass
  • Edges and corners worked
  • Sliding doors both faces
  • Fixed panels and highlights
  • Mirrors and splashback glass on request

Frames and sills

  • Frames wiped down
  • Sills cleared and washed
  • Reveals checked for mould
  • Rubber seals wiped
  • Handles and locks

Tracks, $15 a window

  • Window track and sill detailing
  • Grit vacuumed before wetting
  • Weep holes cleared
  • Corners done by hand
  • Rollers checked and reported

Flyscreens, quoted

  • Flyscreen washing off the frame
  • Mesh and surround both sides
  • Damage photographed first
  • Dried before refitting
  • Put back the way they came out

Track grit gets vacuumed out before any water goes near it. Wetting it first turns the dirt into a paste that smears along the channel and takes twice as long to shift.

How do you reach upstairs windows?

From the ground, wherever the building allows it.

Contact us

  1. Step 01

    Access checked first

    Height, ground surface and anything below the window. That sets the method before we quote.

  2. Step 02

    Water-fed pole outside

    Pure water through a brush head. It dries with no residue, so no squeegee marks up high.

  3. Step 03

    Traditional inside

    Squeegee and cloth indoors, with floors protected under every window we work on.

  4. Step 04

    Anything unreachable named

    If a panel needs equipment we do not bring, the quote says so rather than leaving it dirty.

What makes Melbourne windows different?

Soft water, long wet winters and a lot of single glazing. Together they make the track the problem rather than the glass.

  • Almost no mineral spotting. Melbourne runs some of the softest water in the country, so glass here does not get the white scale that plagues Perth
  • Condensation instead. Single glazed windows run wet every winter morning and it drains into the track, where it mixes with grit
  • Bayside salt film. St Kilda through to Brighton carries a haze that returns faster than anywhere inland
  • Toughened glass everywhere. Apartment balustrades, shower screens and large panes, and none of it should meet a scraper

If your glass looks hazy rather than spotted, that is film rather than mineral, and it usually comes off in one visit.

Why do clean windows still look wrong?

Three things worth knowing before you book.

The track sets the look

A spotless pane above a black channel still reads as dirty. We price tracks at $15 a window so you can see the cost and decide. Most homes need them once a year while the glass gets done twice.

Grit and water make paste

Winter condensation drains into the track and mixes with the grit already there. Wiping it wet just smears it along the channel. We vacuum tracks dry first, then wash them.

Access sets the upstairs price

Height alone is not the issue. What matters is what sits under the window, whether there is level ground for a pole and how far back we can stand. That is why double storey and difficult access start at $415.

What backs a pole against your house?

Glass is expensive to replace. Here is what sits behind the job.

Tracks on their own line

$15 a window, so you can choose.

Because the scratches cannot be undone.

What do Melbourne customers ask about window cleaning?

How much does window cleaning cost in Melbourne?

A small home with up to 10 windows is $165 including GST, a medium home with 11 to 20 windows is $235 and a large home with 21 or more is $350. Double storey or difficult access starts at $415. Tracks are $15 a window on top.

Are the tracks included in that price?

No, and that is deliberate. Tracks are $15 a window as their own line, because most homes only need them once a year while the glass gets done twice. Bundling them would mean charging you for track work you do not need every visit.

Do you clean double storey windows?

Yes, using a water-fed pole from the ground rather than ladders. Height is not the real issue on its own. What matters is the ground surface and what sits under the window, which is why difficult access is priced from $415.

Do you wash flyscreens?

Yes, and they come off the frame to be done properly. Mesh and surround are washed on both sides, dried, and put back the way they came out. They are quoted separately once we know the count and the condition, since old screens can tear.

Will you scrape paint or stickers off the glass?

Not on toughened glass. Some toughened panels carry tiny particles fused into the surface during manufacture, and a scraper drags them across and scratches permanently. That damage looks like cleaning damage and cannot be undone, so we will tell you what we can and cannot lift.

How often should Melbourne windows be cleaned?

Twice a year suits most inland homes, once after winter and once before summer. Bayside homes and anything on a main road usually need three or four, because salt film and traffic grime return faster. Shopfronts run monthly or quarterly.

Why does my glass look hazy rather than spotted?

Because Melbourne water is very soft, so you get film rather than mineral scale. Harder water leaves white spotting, while Melbourne glass gets a haze from salt, traffic and pollen instead. It usually cleans off without any acid treatment.

Do you clean solar panels, gutters and roofs?

Yes. Solar panel cleaning, gutter cleaning and roof soft washing are quoted separately and can go on the same visit as the windows. Send a photo of the roof line and we will price them before we come out.

Can you reach apartment windows from inside?

Sometimes, and it depends on the building. Many Melbourne apartments have fixed panels that only open partway, which limits what can be reached safely from inside. We check at quote stage and name any panel we cannot do rather than leaving you to find it afterwards.

What other cleaning do we do in Melbourne?

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