There’s always one chore that never quite makes it to the top of the list.
You’ll mow the lawn.
You’ll clean out the fridge.
You might even sort that junk drawer that’s been haunting you for three years.
But the windows? Out of sight, out of mind.
And then the sun hits just right and you realise they’re filthy.
If you’ve ever wondered what window cleaning services actually include (and why they’re worth it), here’s the lowdown, Perth style.
What professional window cleaning covers
A proper clean goes much further than a quick wipe with paper towel and a spray bottle. When you book professional window cleaning services in Perth, here’s what you can usually expect:
- Cleaning of both interior and exterior glass
- Removal and cleaning of flyscreens
- Vacuuming of window tracks and sills
- Wiping of frames, edges and ledges
- Cobweb removal around window areas
- Safe access to high or hard-to-reach windows
- Optional add-ons like solar panel cleaning or skylights
At Reliable Window Cleaning, we also use a pure-water de-ioniser system and water-fed pole to get a flawless finish. No streaks, no spots, just crystal-clear glass.
How the pros get it done step-by-step
Every window is different, but here’s a typical run-down of how your clean will go:
- Initial check and quote – The crew arrives on time, inspects the site and confirms the price.
- Prep and safety setup – Furniture is moved if needed, safety signs go up and harnesses are clipped in for higher work.
- Exterior clean – Using a water-fed pole or squeegee, they scrub the outside glass, remove cobwebs and rinse with purified water.
- Flyscreens and frames – Screens are taken out, washed separately and reinstalled; frames and edges are wiped clean.
- Interior clean – Inside glass is carefully cleaned with non-marking tools to protect your furnishings.
- Final walk-through – You’ll be invited to inspect the job to make sure every window meets your expectations.
The entire process is efficient, careful and tailored to your space. You don’t have to lift a finger; except to maybe point out the windows you forgot were even there.
Why it’s better to go pro
Sure, you could do it yourself… but would it be worth it?
Here’s a quick comparison of DIY vs hiring the experts:
| DIY | Professionals | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Several hours, lots of elbow grease | 1–2 hours for a standard home |
| Tools | Paper towel, spray, maybe a ladder | Water-fed pole, squeegees, harnesses |
| Finish | Streaks and missed spots likely | Spotless, streak-free, polished |
| Safety | Risk of falls on ladders | Height-trained, fully insured crew |
| Longevity | Dust returns fast without deep clean | Lasts longer thanks to thorough prep |
Plus, our Perth conditions (dust, sea spray and summer heat) don’t make it easy to keep things clean. A pro service helps protect your windows and gets the job done safely.
Frequency and cost
Let’s talk numbers and timing.
For most homes in Perth, a professional window clean every six months is ideal. Live by the coast or under gum trees? You might want a quarterly service to stay ahead of salt, sap and dust build-up.
Businesses, especially those with street frontage or lots of foot traffic, tend to book in monthly or bi-monthly to keep up appearances.
As for pricing, window cleaning services start around $150 for smaller homes and increase depending on:
- Number of windows
- Number of stories
- Access (e.g. steep driveways or balconies)
- Extras like skylights, flyscreens or solar panels
Reliable Window Cleaning offers transparent, competitive pricing with no surprise fees, just clean glass.
Choosing the right team for the job
When looking for professional window cleaning services in Perth, it pays to go local and go reliable (we mean that literally).
Look for:
- A fully insured team with safety certification
- Experience with both residential and light-commercial properties
- Pure-water systems for hard-to-reach windows
- Great reviews and clear communication
- Eco-conscious practices if that’s a priority
Our crew at Reliable Window Cleaning has been keeping Perth’s windows spotless for over a decade; north side, south side and everywhere in between.
Window Cleaning Service FAQs
Do window cleaners clean screens and tracks?
Absolutely. A proper clean includes much more than just the glass. At Reliable Window Cleaning, we remove flyscreens, give them a thorough wash (not just a quick wipe), and let them dry before reinstalling. We also vacuum out dirt, insects, and debris from the window tracks and sills, because there’s no point having spotless windows if the rest is full of gunk.
How long does a clean take?
It depends on the size and layout of your place. For a standard three-bedroom home, you’re looking at about 1 to 2 hours. Larger homes, multi-storey buildings, or homes with a lot of windows (we see you, sunrooms and bifold doors) can take longer. Our crew works efficiently, but we don’t rush jobs. You’ll always get the same high-quality finish, whether it’s one hour or three.
Are the cleaners insured?
Yes, and it’s one of the most important boxes to tick when hiring any service. Reliable Window Cleaning is fully insured with both public liability and workers’ compensation cover. Our team is also trained in height safety, so we can tackle those tricky upper-floor windows with the right gear and peace of mind. For you and us.
Can they remove hard water stains or paint?
Yes, but it’s not always part of a standard clean. Hard water stains, paint overspray, silicone residue or stubborn mineral deposits can require extra treatments and tools. If you’ve got something specific you’re worried about, let us know when you book. We’ll assess it on arrival and let you know what’s possible (and what it might cost) before we start.
Crystal-clear windows without the ladder drama? Sounds like a win.
Reliable Window Cleaning are Perth’s go-to crew for a reason: friendly service, fair prices and windows so clean you’ll forget they’re even there. We handle everything from flyscreens to tracks to that stubborn grime you’ve given up on.
