How to hire a window cleaning pro in Australia
- Check for an ABN and public liability insurance
- Ask how upper floors are reached — WHS rules make harness or scaffold requirements kick in for genuine height work; water-fed poles from the ground avoid it
- Confirm inclusions: exterior glass, frames, sills, and whether flyscreens and tracks are covered (screens are usually an add-on)
- Get a per-pane or whole-house written quote; single-storey vs double-storey is the biggest price driver
- Coastal homes: ask about salt-film removal frequency — 4-6 weekly keeps salt from baking on
- For bond cleans, window cleaning inside and out is often required — coordinate with the end-of-lease cleaner
Frequently asked questions
What about hard water stains and mineral deposits?
Ordinary cleaning won't remove etched mineral staining from sprinklers, leaking gutters or years of run-off — it needs dedicated hard-water removal products or fine polishing, priced as a restoration add-on per pane. Test one window first: if staining has etched into the glass, no chemical fixes it fully. Fix the water source (gutter, sprinkler aim) or the stains return.
How is window cleaning priced?
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.
How long does a full house take?
A regular exterior round on an average house: 20-40 minutes. A first clean or full inside-and-out with frames, sills and tracks: 2-4 hours depending on window count. Window count drives everything — count your panes before calling and quotes get much more accurate.
Can cleaners reach upper-floor and awkward windows?
Water-fed poles handle most windows up to 3-4 storeys from the ground. Beyond that, or over conservatories and extensions where ladders can't stand, you're into specialist access — longer poles, ladders with standoffs, or (for tower blocks) rope access, which is commercial-grade work priced accordingly. Point out awkward windows when getting a quote, not when the cleaner arrives.
What does window cleaning cost in Australia?
Expect $10-$25 per pane, or $150-$300 for a standard single-storey home's exterior and $300-$600 for double-storey. Hourly equivalents run $40-$70. Flyscreen cleaning and track detailing are the usual add-ons; coastal salt film is the usual reason for shorter cleaning cycles.
Why do double-storey homes cost so much more?
Height changes everything: reach equipment, WHS-compliant methods, and time. A double-storey exterior typically starts around $300 where a comparable single-storey runs $150-$250. Water-fed pole operators handle most double-storey work from the ground — anything requiring roof access or harness work prices higher again.
