Most exterior glass in Canberra carries a film of dust, pollen, fly-screen residue, and bore-water spotting that ordinary tap-water can't shift without leaving streaks. We clean from the ground up to three storeys using deionised (DI) water through a water-fed pole, finished with a manual squeegee on lower-level glass and frames. The result is glass that dries spot-free and stays cleaner for longer.
Equipment we use on every job.
The process, step by step.
Walk-around + flag risks
On arrival we walk the property with you, flag any cracked panes, broken frames, or soft sills, and confirm the scope before any water touches the glass.
Frames + tracks first
Sills, tracks, and frames are wiped down before the wash so dirt from those edges does not run back across cleaned glass.
Pure-water wash
Top-down agitation with the pole brush, followed by a generous DI rinse. We work systematically pane-by-pane so nothing is missed.
Detail + sign-off
Ground-floor glass gets a final squeegee finish for that hand-detailed edge. Then a walk-around with you — anything not perfect is redone on the spot.

What people ask before booking.
How often should exterior windows be cleaned in Canberra?
For most homes, every 6 months is the sweet spot — pollen season (Sep-Nov) and post-summer dust (Feb-Mar). Homes near construction, gravel roads, or heavy bushfire smoke benefit from quarterly.
Do you clean fly screens too?
Yes — every screen comes off, gets a soft-brush + DI-water rinse, and is refitted dry. If a screen is damaged we will tell you up front rather than reattach a torn one.
Will the water spot my paving / lawn?
No. DI water is purer than tap water, so any runoff is cleaner than a normal rinse. We also tarp delicate plants if there is direct overspray.
