Clearwater does residential window cleaning for homes across Melbourne’s east. Every clean covers the outside glass, frames and sills. The inside of the windows, fly screen washing and track detailing can be added. We clean most houses up to three storeys, once or on a regular plan. Call 0450 246 246 or request a callback and we will ring you.

Many of the homes we clean are older houses in suburbs like Canterbury, Camberwell, Balwyn and Kew. They carry a lot of glass: timber sash windows, leadlight, bay windows and wide rear glazing opening onto the garden. That is why you notice when it is dirty, and why a rushed job shows up straight away.

What a clean covers

The glass, the frames and the sills on the outside of the house, on every job.

Leave grime sitting in the frame above a clean pane and the next good rain washes it straight back down over the window you just paid for. So we always do them together.

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

The inside of the windows is an add-on too. See interior window cleaning.

If you want the window tracks dug out properly, that is a separate detailing job. Have a look at window frames, tracks and sills and we can quote it for you.

Pure water, and why the glass dries clear

Tap water leaves spots, because the minerals in it stay behind as the water dries. That is why hosing windows down never really works.

Our pole runs on tap water passed through a filter that takes the minerals out, and we test the water every day. With nothing left in it, the water dries off the glass without spots, and there is no soap to leave a film. Plan clients get this finish on every clean: we call it CLEARWATER RainBlock Tech.

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 render or leadlight that could mark it. For most double storey homes around here, the whole house gets done this way.

Windows too close to power lines are left for safety, and we tell you. A few hard-to-reach windows need a ladder or roof access, and we quote those separately. There is more on the high and hard to reach page.

Where to next

Who turns up

Clearwater Window Cleaning is a small family business started by James and Talia, who still manage it. The team is small and friendly, and everyone is trained to the same written standard.

Before we start, we walk around the house with you to check the tap, the access and anything already cracked or broken. At the end, we walk around again and look at the result together.

Inside, shoes come off, every time. Gates get shut behind us and nothing gets left on your lawn. If you would prefer we did not use a particular gate, or the dog needs to be kept away from one, just tell us.

We carry $10 million in public liability cover, and we can send you the certificate if you want to see it.

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 window cleaning cost in Melbourne?

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. To get a firm figure, we look your home up online and ask a few questions in one short call. For most homes that is the figure you pay. A very large home may need a quick look first.

Do I need to be home?

Not for an outside clean, as long as we can get through the gates and use an outside tap. You pay when the job is finished, or before you go if you need to head off. For inside, someone needs to let us in, then you can get on with your day. Shoes come off at the door, every time.

What if it rains straight after?

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. 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.

Do you do the frames and sills, or just the glass?

Outside frames and sills are part of every exterior clean. Clean glass in a dirty frame looks half done within a week, because the next rain washes that grime back down over it. The inside of the windows, track detailing and washing the fly screens are add-ons, and we can quote them alongside the clean.

What if I am not happy?

100% satisfaction guarantee: if you're not happy, we'll fix it before we leave. At the end of the job we walk around the house with you and check the result together. You pay on the day, by card or cash, when the job is finished.

Are you insured?

Yes. $10 million public liability, and we are happy to send you a certificate if you want to see it.

How often should windows be done?

Most people go every 3 or 6 months. Go more often if you are on a main road, under gum trees, or your sprinklers hit the glass. If you are not sure, we will tell you what your house needs.

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!
