Window Cleaning in Ulu Bedok

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
