Window Cleaning & Washing Services Melbourne

Why Do Melbourne Properties Need Professional Window Cleaning?

Professional window cleaning in Melbourne uses purified water systems, professional squeegees, and streak-free solutions to remove dust, pollen, water spots, and grime from interior and exterior glass surfaces. The Australian Window Association recommends professional cleaning at least twice a year to maintain glass clarity and extend the life of frames and seals. Total Cleaning Melbourne services homes, shopfronts, and office glass across the metro area. IICRC-certified, fully insured, and police-verified technicians handle every appointment.

What Is Included in Our Window Cleaning Service?

Total Cleaning Melbourne provides expert window cleaning for both residential and commercial sites.

Our Window Cleaning package includes:

• Interior Windows
• Exterior Windows
• Window Sills
• Sliding doors
• Tracks

For exterior windows and hard to reach for double story homes we use a Waterfed window cleaning machine, the effect this has on the cleaning is outstanding. It uses purified water and with a telescopic pole can reach those out of reach places without the need for scaffolding.

Why Does Professional Window Cleaning Matter?

Windows are more than just glass - they let in natural light, frame your view, and reflect the overall upkeep of your property. Over time, dust, pollen, fingerprints, water spots, and grime build up, making windows appear dull and reducing visibility. Professional window cleaning in Melbourne improves the look, hygiene, and comfort of your property by:

• Maximising natural light and brightening interiors
• Enhancing curb appeal for homes, offices, and retail spaces
• Maintaining hygiene by removing dust, allergens, and mould spores
• Extending the lifespan of glass, frames, and seals through expert glass cleaning and window detailing
• Saving time and reducing the risk of accidents associated with high-access windows

How Does Our Window Cleaning Process Work?

Our window cleaning service follows a thorough, systematic process to achieve streak-free results on every pane:

1. Initial inspection - We assess the number of windows, their condition, accessibility, and the level of soiling. This allows us to determine the right method, equipment, and time required for your property.
2. Interior window cleaning - All internal panes are cleaned using professional squeegees and microfibre cloths with a streak-free cleaning solution. Sills, frames, and tracks are wiped down and vacuumed of debris.
3. Exterior ground-floor windows - External panes are cleaned using squeegees and professional cleaning solutions, with extra attention to water spots, mineral deposits, and environmental grime.
4. High-reach exterior windows - For double-storey homes and commercial buildings, we use a water-fed pole system with purified water. As noted by Safe Work Australia, working at heights is one of the leading causes of workplace injury in Australia, which is why our water-fed pole system allows safe exterior cleaning without the need for scaffolding or ladders. The pure water leaves no mineral residue and dries to a spotless, streak-free finish.
5. Sliding door glass and tracks - Sliding door panes are cleaned on both sides, and tracks are vacuumed and wiped out to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
6. Final inspection - We check each window and glass surface before packing up to ensure a consistent, streak-free result throughout.

What Is Included in Our Full Window Cleaning Package?

• Exterior glass - ground floor and high-reach using water-fed pole system

How Do Melbourne’s Local Conditions Affect Window Cleanliness?

Melbourne’s weather creates unique challenges for window cleanliness. The combination of summer dust, pollen from the city’s abundant tree cover, salt air in coastal suburbs like St Kilda, Port Melbourne, and Williamstown, and the hard water common in many Melbourne areas means windows dirty quickly and benefit from regular professional attention.

Properties in Melbourne’s inner city and CBD face additional challenges - air pollution, traffic grime, and the proximity of construction sites all contribute to faster glass soiling. For homeowners and businesses in suburbs from Toorak to Essendon, Hawthorn to Footscray, our professional window cleaning service restores clarity and brightness that simply cannot be replicated with a garden hose and squeegee.

We service all Melbourne suburbs, Monday to Friday, and offer flexible scheduling to minimise disruption to your household or business operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my windows professionally cleaned?

For residential properties, most Melbourne homeowners benefit from a professional window clean every six to twelve months. Properties close to busy roads, in coastal suburbs, or with large trees nearby may need cleaning more frequently. Commercial properties and shopfronts in high-traffic areas typically benefit from monthly or quarterly cleaning to maintain a professional appearance.

Can you clean windows on a multi-storey home or building?

Yes. Our water-fed pole system allows us to safely clean exterior windows on double-storey and some three-storey properties without ladders or scaffolding. For larger commercial buildings, we assess access requirements and use appropriate equipment. Contact us to discuss your specific property.

Will rain affect my window clean?

Light rain actually helps keep windows clean after a purified water clean, as there are no minerals in the water to leave spots when it dries. Heavy rain shortly after cleaning can cause streaking from environmental particles. We recommend checking the forecast and booking during a dry period where possible, but for regular commercial cleaning, the schedule runs regardless of weather.

What Does Our Residential Window Cleaning Service Include?

Our residential window cleaning service covers houses, townhouses, units, and apartments across all Melbourne suburbs. We clean both interior and exterior glass, including window tracks, frames, sills, and flyscreens — leaving every surface thoroughly cleaned and streak-free.

For single-storey homes, our team uses professional squeegees and microfibre cloths for interior and exterior panes. For double-storey and three-storey properties, our water-fed pole system reaches upper-level windows safely from the ground without ladders or scaffolding. The purified water system leaves no mineral residue, so glass dries to a spotless finish.

Whether you need a one-off spring clean, a pre-sale presentation clean, or a regular six-monthly service, we tailor the scope to your property and provide a fixed quote before work begins. Common domestic add-ons include flyscreen removal and cleaning, sliding door track vacuuming, skylight cleaning where safely accessible, and balcony glass panel cleaning.

What Does Our Commercial Window Cleaning Include?

We provide professional window cleaning for commercial properties including offices, retail shopfronts, medical clinics, restaurants, cafes, and reception areas. Clean glass is essential for business presentation — customers and clients notice dirty windows, and they directly affect the perceived quality of your business.

Our commercial window cleaning service includes:

• Shopfront glass — regular cleaning to maintain a polished, inviting storefront
• Office windows — interior and exterior, including partitions and glass meeting room walls
• Medical and dental clinics — hygienic glass cleaning to support a clean clinical environment
• Restaurants and cafes — grease and condensation removal from kitchen-adjacent windows

After-hours service available — we clean commercial premises in the evenings and early mornings to avoid disrupting your business operations, staff, and customers.

Regular scheduled cleaning — we offer weekly, fortnightly, and monthly cleaning schedules for businesses that need consistent presentation. A regular schedule is agreed upfront with a set scope and pricing, so there are no surprises. For retail businesses that need both window cleaning and interior shop maintenance, our shop and retail cleaning service can be bundled for a comprehensive presentation solution. All commercial window cleaning is performed by IICRC-certified, fully insured, and police-checked technicians.

Height limitation: We service residential and commercial windows up to three storeys. For buildings above three storeys, we recommend contacting a specialist high-rise window cleaning provider.

What is the maximum building height you service?

We clean windows on properties up to three storeys in height. Our water-fed pole system allows safe exterior cleaning at this height without scaffolding or ladders. For buildings above three storeys, specialist high-rise window cleaning equipment and accreditation is required, and we recommend contacting a dedicated high-rise provider. We are happy to assist with the interior glass on taller buildings where windows are accessible from inside.

How much does window cleaning cost in Melbourne?

Window cleaning costs depend on the number of windows, accessibility, and property type. Residential homes typically start from $150 for a standard clean. Contact us on 1300 424 114 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Do you clean shopfront and commercial windows?

Yes. We provide regular shopfront, office, and commercial window cleaning across Melbourne. We can schedule weekly, fortnightly, or monthly visits to keep your business looking professional.

What is the maximum height you can clean?

We clean windows on properties up to three storeys using water-fed pole systems and appropriate access equipment. We do not offer high-rise or rope-access window cleaning.

Can you remove hard water stains from glass?

Yes. Hard water stains and mineral deposits are common on Melbourne windows, especially in areas with bore water or irrigation overspray. Our team uses professional-grade mineral deposit removers to restore clarity without scratching the glass.

Do you clean skylights and balcony glass?

We clean skylights where they are safely accessible from inside or with our water-fed pole system from outside. We also clean balcony glass panels and balustrades on properties up to three storeys.
