Window Cleaning in Rotorua

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.

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.

A telescopic pole with a brush head fed by purified water — the cleaner scrubs from the ground and rinses with deionised water that dries without spots, so no detergent and no ladder. It's now the standard for residential exteriors in many countries, reaches 3-4 storeys safely, and cleans frames as part of the process. Traditional squeegee work remains standard for interiors and gives a slightly more polished finish on ground-floor glass.

Demand peaks in spring and before year-end holidays, and those slots book out first. The work itself runs year-round in most climates — pure water works in cold weather down to around freezing, and professionals add glycol or adjust hours in frost. If you want a new regular slot, off-peak (mid-winter, mid-summer) is when good rounds have openings.

Roughly NZ$8-$20 per pane, with a standard home's exterior at NZ$150-$350 and inside-and-out service above that. Two-storey homes price 50-100% over single-storey. Regular arrangements with local rounds cost meaningfully less per visit than one-offs.

Salt spray carries far inland on wind and bakes onto glass and aluminium joinery — left alone it etches glass and corrodes frames. Coastal homes benefit from a 4-8 weekly exterior rinse-and-clean cycle; it's cheaper than glass restoration, and many local cleaners run exactly this kind of round.
