Squee:gee’s Interior Window Clean is a basic traditional window clean comprising of: Clearing Cobwebs/Debris, Basic Wipe Down of Frames including Mould & Mildue, Window Wash, Bronze or Fine Steel Wool if required (Unless inappropriate due to Tints etc.), Squeegee, and Final Detailing.
For Exterior Window Clean’s, Squee:gee’s Technicians use state-of-the-art Pure Water Fed-Pole’s which leave a “Spot-Free” Finish. This Water has been filtered to become pure, and when the window is dry, it won’t leave any watermarks in doing so. No More Smears! This also provide’s us with the ability to reach up to three stories in height.
We use our Digital TDS Meter to measure the water hardness from your garden hose or tap. Water hardness is determined by checking the TDS (total dissolved solids) which is measured in PPM (parts per million). The TDS is the total amount of all minerals, salts and metals present in water – and is responsible for water spotting left on the surface of your vehicle or windows after washing. We measure TDS Daily to Ensure a Pure Water Window Clean Spot-Free Result.

NOTE: Squee:gee’s Famous Flat-Rates Pricing with it’s simple add-on prices cover 90%+ of homes we service.

No Surprises!
Because why make a simple problem have such a complicated solution?
Squee:gee’s Cleaning Technicians do a basic wipedown of your frames and sill’s in your Windows. All our customers are very happy with this service as it is a bonus that competitor’s do not do.
If you are after a “Deep Clean” with the “Q-Tip” Treatment, Squee:gee can offer this but it would cost at the minimum another $200.00 and be charged on a per Hour Basis rather than a quotation being provided. This is why we suggest that if you are after this type of deep clean service that you contact a residential cleaner who specialises in this.

Yes! Squee:gee is able to clean home’s that have tinted Windows, however it will never be as good of a result when compared to Windows that have no film attached to them.
Why? We can not use any abrasive’s such as Fine Steel or Bronze Wool otherwise it may scratch the Tint leaving damage. As a result, there will be some things such as oil splatter that will be very difficult to get off.
We do! However we tend to leave it to New Build/Post-Renovation construction cleaners who are able to get rid of cement splatter, excess paint splatter on the frames and class, and high windows which require sticker removal.
However, if you are after a Standard Window Clean or Home SoftWash, we would more than happily do so!
