Window Cleaning
1 business you can compare and book online.
Window cleaners wash interior and exterior glass, screens, tracks and frames for homes, shopfronts and offices. Most jobs use pure water-fed poles or traditional squeegee work, with rope access or elevated platforms for multi-storey buildings. People typically book them before selling or renting a property, after building work, ahead of events, or on a quarterly schedule to keep coastal salt and city grime off the glass.

How to choose a good Window Cleaner
- No licence is required for window cleaning in Australia, so judge providers on reviews, before-and-after photos and how long they have traded.
- Check they hold public liability insurance, ideally $5 million or more, since ladders and glass near your home carry real risk.
- For anything above two storeys, ask about working-at-heights training and equipment such as EWP tickets or rope access certification.
- Get an itemised quote covering panes, screens, tracks and flyscreens; a cheap headline price often excludes half the job.
- Ask whether they use pure water-fed poles, which leave streak-free glass without chemicals, or traditional squeegee methods for heavy grime.
- Look for a streak-free or rain guarantee, and confirm whether hard water stain removal costs extra before booking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Does your quote include screens, tracks, frames and flyscreens, or just the glass?
- Are you insured for public liability, and can you send a certificate of currency?
- How do you handle second-storey or hard-to-reach windows, and is there an extra charge?
- Can you remove hard water stains, paint flecks or bore water marks, and what does that cost?
- Do you offer a discount for regular quarterly or monthly cleans?
What does a window cleaner cost in Australia?
Expect around $150 to $250 for a single-storey three-bedroom home inside and out, and $250 to $450 for two storeys. Per-pane rates of $5 to $15 are common for shopfronts, with minimum call-outs of $80 to $120. Hard water stain removal, post-construction cleans and rope access work cost more. Most established cleaners are GST-registered, so check whether quotes include GST. Prices vary with access, window count and how long since the last clean.
Frequently asked questions
Do window cleaners in Australia need a licence?
No. There is no licence for window cleaning itself. For high-rise work, operators need relevant working-at-heights competencies, such as a high-risk work licence for boom lifts over 11 metres or rope access certification. For houses and shopfronts, focus on insurance, reviews and experience rather than paperwork.
How often should windows be cleaned?
Most homes do well with a clean every three to six months. Coastal properties collecting salt spray, homes near main roads and shopfronts often need monthly or bi-monthly visits. Many cleaners offer 10 to 20 per cent off for a recurring schedule, which also stops hard water stains from setting in.
What is pure water or water-fed pole cleaning?
It uses deionised water pumped through a brush on a telescopic pole. Because the water contains no dissolved minerals, it dries without spots, so no detergent or squeegee is needed. It is the standard method for exterior glass up to three or four storeys, and safer because the cleaner stays on the ground.
Should I get windows cleaned before selling my home?
Agents routinely recommend it. Clean glass noticeably lifts natural light in inspection photos and walk-throughs for a few hundred dollars, which is cheap compared with styling. Book the clean after any painting or repairs and within a week of photography so the glass is spotless on the day.
Do window cleaners work in rain or winter?
Yes. Light rain rarely affects results because it is dirt, not rainwater, that marks glass, and many cleaners offer a free re-clean if rain spots windows within a day or two. In southern states winter bookings are easier to get; in northern Australia the dry season is the busy period.
