Window cleaning in Adelaide
Interior and ground-level exterior window cleaning for Adelaide homes and apartments — glass, frames, sills, tracks and flyscreens.
A window clean is three jobs that people think are one: the glass, the frame and sill, and the track and flyscreen. Cleaning only the glass is why windows look streaky again within a week — the dirt sitting in the track and on the screen transfers straight back onto clean glass the next time it rains or the window is opened.
Adelaide's hard water is the complicating factor. Sprinkler overspray and years of rain drying on glass leave mineral deposits that ordinary washing will not shift; those need a specific treatment, and if they have been there long enough the glass can be permanently etched.
We do interior glass at any level and exterior glass at ground level. Above that needs height equipment and different insurance, and we will refer you rather than improvise.
When to book
When do you need window cleaning?
Four situations that send people looking for this service most often.
Hard-Water Mineral Marks
Sprinkler overspray and years of rain dried on the glass, treated before the deposit etches the glass permanently.
Spring Pollen & Dust
Tracks and flyscreens loaded up through September–October pollen and northerly dust, before they transfer straight back onto clean glass.
Whole-House Annual Clean
Glass, frames, sills, tracks and flyscreens done together twice a year — cleaning only the glass is why windows look streaky again within a week.
Apartment Interior-Only
Interior glass at any level, for buildings that restrict exterior work above ground level to their own contractor.

What's different about Adelaide
- Adelaide's hard water and summer reticulation overspray are the main cause of permanent glass staining here. Treating it early is the difference between a clean and a glass replacement.
- Spring pollen and the northerly dust winds mean tracks and screens load up quickly through September and October — the best time for an annual whole-house window clean is after that settles.
- Apartment buildings in the CBD and North Adelaide generally restrict exterior work above ground level to the building's own contractor, so interior-only is often the only option available to a tenant.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do you clean second-storey windows?+
Interior, yes, at any level. Exterior glass above ground level needs height equipment and specific insurance — we will refer you to a specialist rather than take on work we are not set up for.
Can you remove the white marks from sprinkler overspray?+
Usually, with a hard-water mineral treatment, if it is caught before the deposit etches the glass. Once it has etched, the mark is in the glass and cleaning will not remove it.
Are flyscreens included?+
Yes — removed, washed and refitted. Leaving them out is why glass looks dirty again so quickly.
How often should windows be done?+
Twice a year suits most Adelaide homes. Coastal properties at Glenelg, Henley and Semaphore carry salt film and generally want quarterly.
