Adelaide Window Cleaning: Pure Water Exteriors, Squeegee-Finished Interiors

Pure water fed pole cleaning uses water that has been through a deionisation and reverse osmosis process until it has no dissolved minerals left in it. This purified water is fed through a pole with a soft brush head, scrubbing the glass and rinsing it with water that has nothing to leave behind, so it dries completely spot free without any wiping or squeegee work. It also means we can clean second and third storey windows safely from the ground, without a ladder resting against your walls or gutters. It is gentler on older frames and fragile heritage glass than aggressive scrubbing, and it handles salt film and general grime very effectively. We use this method for all reachable exterior glass across Adelaide properties.

Pure water fed poles are designed for reach and outdoor use, running an open hose and pole setup that is impractical indoors around furniture, carpets and electronics. Inside, a trained hand squeegee finish gives full control and a genuinely streak-free result on dry interior glass, using a proper squeegee blade and lint-free detailing cloth on edges and corners. Both methods are aimed at the same outcome, completely clear glass, but each suits its environment better. Using pure water indoors would mean water running down walls and skirting boards, which nobody wants. Combining the two properly is standard trade practice for a full interior and exterior clean.

In many cases yes. Surface haze from mineral deposits often lifts with a proper pure water clean alone. Where the sprinkler overspray has baked in over months or years and actually etched the glass surface, we can assess it for cerium oxide compound restoration, a polishing process similar to the CeriGlass method, which can significantly improve or fully restore clarity depending on how deep the etching goes. We will always inspect and give you an honest opinion on what is achievable before starting any restoration work, since very old or deep etching may only partially improve. We will also point out the sprinkler head causing it so you can redirect it and stop the damage recurring.

We include fly screens, sliding tracks and sills as a standard part of every window cleaning job, not as a separate paid extra. Screens are removed, washed on both sides and rehung correctly, tracks are cleared of dirt, dead insects and old grime build-up, and sills are wiped down including exterior sills that collect debris from wind and birds. A lot of quick window cleaning jobs skip this and only wipe the glass, which leaves the frame looking dirty even after the pane itself is spotless. We treat the whole window assembly as one job so the finished result actually looks and feels clean, not just the glass in isolation.

It depends on your property's exposure. Coastal homes from the western beach suburbs to the southern suburbs facing direct sea breeze usually need a clean every 6 to 8 weeks to keep ahead of salt film. Homes near busy roads or under flight paths generally do well on a quarterly schedule. Sheltered suburban homes away from the coast and major roads can often go twice a year. New builds in active construction corridors like the northern growth areas need an earlier first clean and shorter intervals while nearby building work continues. We can recommend a schedule specific to your home after the first visit, based on how quickly the glass actually dulls between cleans.

Yes, for most homeowners it is more efficient and gives a better overall result. Grime and mould that build up on render, cladding or brick above windows often wash or drip down onto the glass, so cleaning windows without addressing the walls means the clean does not last as long. Booking soft wash house washing and window cleaning together means one access setup, one scheduled weather window and typically a better combined rate than booking them months apart. It also gives the whole front-facing view of the home a consistent, finished look rather than sharp glass against dull walls. This combination is especially popular before sales campaigns, parties and the summer holiday season.
