Window Cleaning in Victoria

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.

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.

First cleans remove accumulated grime, spider webs, and frame dirt that a maintained round never faces — often double the time of a maintenance visit. Expect a first-clean price of 1.5-2x the recurring rate, then the cheaper round price from visit two. This is standard and honest; a cleaner who quotes one flat price forever is either overcharging your round or under-delivering your first clean.

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.

As part of an hourly helper session, window cleaning folds into the HK$85-$140/hour rate. Dedicated glass-cleaning sessions for a flat run roughly HK$300-$800 depending on glass area. Exterior tower glass is handled by building management, not individual bookings.

Because exterior facade access (gondolas, rope access) is controlled by the building's management company and its licensed contractors — individual flat owners can't hire it per-unit. What you can book is thorough interior-side cleaning plus any panes that open inward. If exterior glass is filthy, raise it with your incorporated owners or management office.
