Two Clearwater cleaners in branded uniform reaching second-storey windows from the ground with water-fed poles

Exterior window cleaning is the outside of every window on your home: the glass, the frames and the sills, every time. We do most of it with a water-fed pole, standing on the ground. It is our main service, booked once or on a plan, and the inside of the windows, fly screens and tracks can all be added to it.

Glass, frames and sills

Clean glass in a dirty frame looks good for about a week. Then the first real rain runs down through the grime in the frame and drops it straight back across the pane. If you have ever had your windows done and wondered why they went streaky so fast, that is a common reason. So the frames and sills are wiped on every visit.

Fly screens are moved aside for the clean, or taken out when they are being washed. They go back where they came from when we are done. Washing the screens is a paid add-on: each one goes through a screen washing machine. Ask for it when you call and we will price it with the rest.

Pure water, and why the glass dries clear

Tap water leaves spots. The minerals in it stay behind on the glass as it dries, which is why hosing windows down never really works.

So on a plan clean we finish with filtered water, our CLEARWATER RainBlock Tech, and we test the water every day to check the filter is still taking everything out. Clean water dries off glass leaving nothing behind, so the pane comes up clear on its own, with no towelling, no streaks and no soap film to grab the next bit of dust.

Done from the ground

Most windows up to three storeys are done from the ground with a water-fed pole. Nothing rests on your gutters, and nothing leans against your render or your leadlight. For most double storey homes around Canterbury, Camberwell and Balwyn, the whole house gets done this way.

Glass doors that would let water inside, and windows on decks where water can’t drain, are done by hand with a squeegee instead. We check for these with you before we start.

Windows too close to power lines are left for safety, and we tell you. Some hard-to-reach windows need a ladder or roof access. We quote those separately.

While we are there

Gates get shut behind us. The hose is run in a straight, clear line so it never drags through your garden beds.

If you would rather we did not come through a particular gate, or there is a spot the dog needs to stay clear of, just tell us and we will work around it.

Before we go

Once every window has dried, we walk the house and check each one for drips, spots and streaks. Then we walk around with you and look at the result together. The pole stays set up until you are happy, so any touch-up is done on the spot.

100% satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not happy, we’ll fix it before we leave. You pay on the day, by card or cash, when the job is finished.

Call 0450 246 246, or request a callback and we will ring you.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to get all your windows cleaned?

It depends mostly on how many outside panes your home has. Windows that need a ladder or roof access are quoted separately. The inside of the windows, fly screens and tracks are add-ons, each priced for the whole home. As a Clearwater Member (Monthly, Quarterly or Six-monthly), every clean costs less, starting with the first. For a firm figure, we look your home up online and ask a few questions in one short call. Nothing is booked until you say go.

Do I need to be home?

No. We just need to get through the side gates and reach an outside tap. You pay when the job is finished. If you need to head off before then, you can pay before you go.

Do you do the frames and sills as well?

Yes, every time, and it is not an extra. Clean the glass but leave the grime sitting in the frame above it, and the next good rain washes that grime straight back down over your clean window.

Will you mark the render or the gutters?

No. Most windows are done with a water-fed pole from the ground, so nothing rests on your render, gutters or window frames.

It rained the day after. Have I wasted my money?

Usually not. Plan clients get CLEARWATER RainBlock Tech, our pure water finish, so there is no soap film left on the glass for dirt to stick to. On Quarterly and Monthly memberships, if rain marks your windows within 7 days of a clean, we come back and touch up the marked spots free.

How long does a house take?

It depends on how many panes you have and how easy they are to reach. Ask when you call and we will give you an idea for your home. We don't pack up until every window has been checked.

James and team did a great job cleaning our external windows recently, including windows up high. James was very pleasant to deal with and was happy to touch up a few more spots after I mentioned. Thanks James.

James, Isaac and Zac just completed cleaning the exterior of all our windows to a very high standard. Our Edwardian home presented a range of height and access challenges which they tackled efficiently and professionally. They were punctual and very respectful as they worked diligently attending to every detail of the windows’ exterior. We would not hesitate to highly recommend them for your professional cleaning requirements. Thanks again James, Zac and Isaac.

You don’t realise how dirty your windows are until someone as skilled as James and his team comes and cleans them! Always very impressed with his work, would really recommend! even if you are someone who has never paid attention to getting your windows cleaned, I promise you will see the value in it after James comes and works his magic!

James did a wonderful job with our end-of-lease window cleaning. His communication was prompt, his pricing clear and reasonable and he worked with great attention to detail. The windows look amazing, way better than they’ve ever done! Besides, James is a very friendly guy, it was a pleasure to meet him. Thanks for an all round great job!
