Window Cleaning in Abu Dhabi

Three models: per pane/window (most transparent for one-offs), per visit (standard for regular rounds — a fixed price for your whole house), or hourly (rare for homes, common for commercial). Regular-round pricing is far cheaper per clean than one-offs because maintained glass cleans fast. Always confirm whether the price covers exterior only or inside and out — that single detail explains most quote differences.

No — rain itself is fairly clean; the spots you see after rain come from dirt already sitting on the glass. Pure-water-cleaned windows usually stay clear through rain, which is why professional rounds run all year. Most round cleaners offer a re-clean if windows genuinely spot within a day or two of the visit — ask about the policy.

Unlock side gates, move cars off the driveway if poles or hoses need the space, close windows fully, and confine pets. For interior cleans, clear window sills of plants and ornaments — cleaners charge for time, and moving your things is time. Flag any cracked panes or fragile lead-light windows before work starts to avoid disputes.

For exterior-only cleans, no — most regular rounds run with the customer out, with payment by app or transfer. Unlock side gates and confine pets before the visit. Interior cleans obviously need access; many customers book inside-and-out once or twice a year and exterior-only in between.

Apartment interior-and-balcony glass runs about AED 100-300 per session; villa packages including exterior glass run AED 200-600 depending on size. Hourly-based bookings work out around AED 30-80/hour. After major sandstorms expect surge demand and book a few days ahead.

Dust film rebuilds within weeks, so villas typically clean glass monthly or bi-monthly rather than quarterly. The other local issue is mineral spotting from irrigation overspray and hard water — ask for spot treatment before it etches. Post-sandstorm cleans are about protecting glass, not just looks: grit scratches when wiped dry.
