Crystal Clear Window Cleaning for Every Property

Window cleaning by suburb. Salt, tree sap and access are genuinely different problems depending on where the house is, so each page covers what applies locally.

Streaking and staining are two different problems, and they need two different answers. Most of the skill is telling them apart before you start.

Streaking is a water problem. Ordinary tap water carries dissolved minerals, and as it dries on the glass those minerals stay behind. That film is what you see. No amount of wiping fixes it, because the residue is being left by the water itself. So for routine exterior work we use deionised water through a water-fed pole — the minerals are stripped out, so it dries leaving nothing at all. The pole reaches up to four storeys from the ground, which means no scaffolding and no ladders leaning on your render.

Staining is a different beast. Hard water marks from sprinklers, run-off or salt spray are mineral deposits bonded onto the glass, and left long enough they start to etch into it. Pure water will not shift them, because the damage is already on the surface rather than in the water. That glass has to be worked by hand: a hard water stain remover compound and 0000-grade stainless steel wool, which is fine enough to cut the deposit without scratching the pane. Coarser grades will scratch it, which is why this is not a job for a general cleaner with a scourer.

Interiors are always worked the traditional way — applicator, squeegee and blade, finished by hand. You cannot run a water-fed pole through someone’s lounge room, and blading is also what safely lifts paint spatter and silicone.

Plenty of window cleaners own one setup and use it on everything. We carry all three and assess the glass before we start, because running a pole over stained glass just makes it wet, and taking abrasives to sound glass is how it gets damaged.

And all of it is on the van, every job — poles, deionised water, stain remover compounds, 0000 steel wool, blades, plus whatever specialty equipment or chemistry the property turns out to need. So if your glass needs stain removal rather than a routine wash, that happens on the same visit. There is no we will have to come back with the right gear, and no second call-out fee for the privilege.
