Window Cleaning in Petagas

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.

Exterior frames and sills — usually yes with water-fed pole cleaning, since the brush does them anyway. Interior tracks, screens and deep frame scrubbing are typically add-ons. Ask specifically: 'glass only' vs 'glass, frames and sills' is the most common source of disappointment. First cleans should always include frames — dirty frames drip onto clean glass with the first rain.

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.

Many do, as a priced add-on — conservatory or glass-roof cleaning is slower, needs care about walking loads, and often costs as much as the rest of the house combined. Self-cleaning glass coatings still need occasional professional attention. Ask when booking; not every round cleaner carries the right equipment.

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.

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.

Standalone window cleaning for a standard home runs about RM150-RM450; per-pane equivalents RM5-RM18. Double-storey homes with grilles land RM300-RM850. Many households simply include windows and grilles in a deep-cleaning session instead of booking separately.

Substantially — grilles must be cleaned themselves and worked around to reach the glass, roughly doubling time per window versus bare panes. Sliding-window tracks add more. When requesting quotes, state how many windows have grilles; it's the difference between an accurate price and an argument on the day.
