Questions you asked about window cleaning…
How much does it cost to clean the windows?
There are so many variables to window cleaning costs. We will come and view your house and look at all the windows or gutters (Or if it is a commercial property for window cleaning, gutter cleaning, or strata cleaning services) We will want to look at ease of access, whether any ladders are required, or pure water fed brush poles for any high or difficult access windows. Be confident in receiving a fair price for your clean!
Is professional window cleaning worth it?
Absolutely window washing is worth it! Windows and gutters in particular are the presentation pieces of your residential home or commercial business. We want to see the windows sparkling clean and the gutters free of any leaves and debris. Getting these cleans done professionally saves you many hours of time, frees you from high ladder work and expensive equipment. You can also prevent damage to the windows as dirt and dust and other particles over time can etch into the glass. Replacing windows is very costly!
How often should you have windows cleaned?
This will vary depending on where your home or business is located. Sometimes windows are more affected than others due to the direction they face or how close they are to the main road or other factors. This will apply to gutter cleaning too. Are there great overhanging trees close by? Homes typically can be cleaned every 3-4 months or even 6 months to annual cleans. We recommend no less than 6 monthly for domestic homes so that they are nice and clean to see through and free of any debris, dust, bird droppings and to ensure they are not so dirty annually that the windows end up with any damage or costly larger cleaning
How long does window cleaning last?
This will depend again on the position of your windows in your home or business. It will depend on how accessible the glass is to hands and pets. Keep an out for common areas like foyer or sliding doors to the outside – these can be busy thoroughfares! Run your finger on outside window glass and see if dust or grime are visible. Perhaps not so visible to the eye but your fingers tell the real story. It could be a few months since your last clean or several months.
Do you clean the window tracks?
Track cleaning is always included in our window cleaning. We give the tracks a general wipe over to pick up the dirt residue. Please note that this is a ‘general wipe’ using a microfibre cloth and is not detailed. Detailed trackwork requires lifting the window out of the track; utilising a vacuum and steam cleaner and increases the pricing to a standard our customers prefer to avoid. All our customers are very satisfied with the general track clean.
Does the window cleaning include the frame?
Yes. Our pure water washing externally always includes washing the frames and we endeavour to target anything reasonably close to the frames also. This means if we spot some debris or spiderwebs near the framework, we will clean that off also. We want to ensure a good overall result. This includes wiping the frames internally. Should the frames happen to have excessive mould; we would need to factor this into the final quotation as it would take considerably more time to rectify.
Hard Water Stains
Often termed ‘leaching’ – this occurs to window panes often times around pools, shrubs or close by other objects such as close proximity to a neighbours roof or awning. Rain splashes off the pool water or shrubs/grass near the glass or perhaps off the roof or awning next door and over time all that high-mineral water sitting on the glass etches its way in and may not be removed from the window cleaning. Some specialists working with certain acids may be able to assist but this is not always effective. Window panes with screens where hard rain washing through the dirty screen and onto the glass – left unattended – can also cause leaching. The best defence against hard water stains is regular window cleaning
Do you clean screens?
Yes we do clean the window screens. At all times possible; we remove the screens and soap/wipe them over and return them after the glass has been washed. Some screens can be stubborn and we will not risk bending or breaking them and therefore sometimes will need to pull the window out and clean both sides whilst leaving the screen in its fixed position. We will soap/wipe the screen over whilst it is still fitted. Some screens are security fitted screens and we do not remove these. We will pull windows out and clean both sides of the glass where the windows do remove. Some windows such as double hung windows unfortunately remained fixed and we can only rinse through the screen with our pure water.
