Frequently Asked Questions
Why clean your windows regularly?
Regular window cleaning is more than just aesthetic – it protects your investment and keeps your property looking fresh year-round.
- Prevents buildup of dirt, algae, and bird droppings
- Prolongs the life of window frames and seals
- Improves natural light indoors – brighter rooms, lower energy use
- Maintains kerb appeal and property value
- Enhances professionalism for commercial premises
How often should I have my windows cleaned?
To keep your windows looking their best and preserve their longevity, we recommend professional window cleaning at least twice a year — typically in the spring and autumn. This removes built-up dirt, pollen, hard water stains, and environmental grime that can etch into glass over time.
However, the ideal cleaning frequency can vary depending on your environment, lifestyle, and property type. Here’s a general guide:
- Every 1–2 Months: Ideal for retail storefronts, restaurants, and high-traffic commercial properties where first impressions matter and dirt builds up quickly.
- Every 3 Months (Quarterly): Great for city dwellings, or areas near construction or heavy traffic where soot, and dust are more common.
- Every 6 Months: A good standard for most residential properties in moderate environments. It keeps glass clear and frames free from buildup.
- Annually: For low-traffic or seasonal properties, an annual deep clean can be enough to maintain condition and appearance.
- Special occasions: Have your windows looking their best, sparkling and crystal clear, for those special occasions and events.
For businesses or storefronts, we typically suggest monthly or bi-weekly cleanings to maintain a polished, professional appearance for customers and clients.
To maintain the highest window quality, we also recommend:
- Regularly removing debris from sills and tracks.
- Using soft cloths or microfiber towels for light touch-ups between services.
- Avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that can scratch or damage glass coatings.
We’re happy to recommend a custom cleaning schedule based on your property and needs — just ask!
Why do you use pure water?
Pure water window cleaning isn’t just modern – it’s smart. Regular tap water contains minerals and impurities (like calcium, magnesium, and chlorine) that can leave streaks or spots on glass.
Pure water is deionised and filtered through multiple stages (including reverse osmosis), removing all dissolved solids. This ultra-clean water:
- Lifts dirt and grime without needing soap or chemicals
- Dries without leaving spots or smears
- Is eco-friendly and gentle on your windows, frames, and seals
It’s the perfect solution for achieving that crystal-clear finish, especially on multi-storey buildings.
Why is the Water Fed Pole System your preferred method for exterior cleaning?
✅ Safe cleaning from the ground – no ladders, no risk
✅ Perfect for all exterior windows – even up to 3 storeys and more
✅ Cleans frames and sills as standard
✅ Eco-friendly – no chemicals or detergents
✅ Spotless results – dries clear with no marks
✅ Longer-lasting results – negative charge of deionised water repels dirt
✅ Privacy – maintains privacy and minimal disturbance to the customer
✅ Less disruption – ideal for homes, businesses, and multi-storey buildings
When do you use Traditional Window Cleaning methods?
Traditional window cleaning is ideal for:
✅ Interior windows
✅ Ground-floor windows with restricted access
✅ Small panes, delicate or decorative windows
✅ Heavily soiled areas requiring close-up detail
Does using pure water with professional cleaning solutions improve results when using traditional window cleaning methods by hand?
Yes — using pure water combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions can enhance the effectiveness of traditional hand-cleaning methods. Here's why:
- Pure water (deionized or reverse osmosis filtered) contains no minerals or impurities, which helps prevent streaks, spots, or residue that can occur when using hard tap water.
- Professional cleaning solutions are designed to break down grease, grime, and organic buildup more effectively than basic soaps, making it easier to lift dirt from the glass.
- When used together with skilled squeegee technique, this combination leads to a noticeably cleaner, streak-free finish, especially on sun-exposed glass, modern coated windows, or high-clarity panes.
While traditional window cleaning can still deliver excellent results with regular water, upgrading to pure water and professional solutions can make a visible difference in quality, especially for premium or high-visibility properties.
