Window Cleaning in Bukit Timah

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 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.

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.

Exteriors: every 4-8 weeks on a regular round keeps glass consistently clear; quarterly is the practical minimum in cities or near trees and coasts. Interiors need cleaning 2-4 times a year in most homes. Homes near the sea (salt), busy roads (film) or construction (dust) need shorter cycles.

Ask three things: are you insured, what's included (glass only, or frames and sills), and what's the re-clean policy if results disappoint. For regular rounds, reliability beats price — the cheapest cleaner who skips visits costs more per actual clean. Local social groups are genuinely useful for finding established rounds with track records.

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.

HDB interior window cleaning starts around S$80-$180 depending on flat size; full reachable inside-and-out service runs S$180-$290; condos and landed homes with more glass run S$280-$480. Many households get windows done as part of a deep-cleaning package instead of standalone.

Only the faces reachable safely from inside (by opening panes) or from common corridors. No legitimate cleaner will climb or lean out — it's dangerous and treated seriously by authorities. For full exterior glass on high floors, the only route is building-managed facade cleaning via rope-access contractors.
