What a window cleaning costs in Melbourne
Melbourne's inner and middle suburbs are full of two-storey Victorian and Edwardian homes with multi-pane sash windows, leadlight and ornate frames, all of which take longer to clean to a good finish than large modern panes, so the job is driven by both the access height and the fiddly detail of period glazing. Reaching upper-storey windows on a terrace or a steep inner-suburb block needs ladders or a water-fed pole, which is where the quote climbs over a simple single-storey home.
The temperate climate is undemanding on frequency away from the bayside salt, so for many homes window cleaning is a periodic rather than constant job, and the city's deep pool of cleaners keeps a straightforward house competitively priced. The wet winters leave grime and water-spotting that show on period glass, so a proper clean matters for appearance. In Melbourne, the period detail and the storey height shape the price more than the climate does.
