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
Window cleaning is unlicensed in Australia, but work-at-height is governed by WHS regulations — which is why professional residential cleaners favour water-fed poles from the ground over ladders for double-storey homes. Legitimate operators carry an ABN and public liability insurance.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Doesn't rain make window cleaning pointless?
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.
What should I do before the cleaner arrives?
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.
Do I need to be home for window cleaning?
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.
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.
