Most Melbourne homes pick up exterior buildup that a garden hose can’t shift. Mould, algae, lichen, and salt grit grow into outdoor surfaces over time, fed by Melbourne’s mix of cool, wet winters and humid summer afternoons. Shaded courtyards stay damp for weeks at a stretch. Bayside suburbs like Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham deal with salt build-up year-round, while inner-suburb streets pick up tannin staining from gum trees. By the time you can see it, it isn’t sitting on top of the surface. It’s grown into it.
Mr Sparkle Window Cleaning is the team Melbourne homeowners call when they want pressure washing done properly, not just a quick blast with a wand. We run an industrial pressure cleaner with adjustable settings, apply a chemical pre-treatment and post-treatment that lifts organic growth out of the surface, and protect plants and electricals from the first rinse to the final walkthrough. Pressure washing covers driveways, concrete, pavers, aggregate, paths, sidewalks, backyard paving, and composite or wooden decks.
Most quotes go out within an hour and around 90% are handled remotely, so you get an answer the same day instead of giving up half a morning to it. Call (03) 7073 2133 to get on the schedule.
Pressure washing is priced per job, not per square metre or per hour. The same pricing covers the full hard-surface category for residential properties: driveways, concrete, pavers, aggregate, paths, sidewalks, backyard paving, and decks.
Pricing for driveway, concrete, paver, and hard-surface cleaning typically falls between $475 – $1,000. Standard driveways sit closer to the lower end, while very long or heavily affected driveways move toward $1,000, with cleaning time stretching to two or three hours.
Pricing moves with surface size, surface type (pavers and aggregate take more careful handling than smooth concrete), level of embedded growth, accessibility, drainage, surface condition, and oil staining. Once you accept the quote, a 50% deposit confirms the booking, payable online with no credit card fees.
The bundle worth knowing about saves you money on a combined service: $75 off when exterior window cleaning is bundled with a house wash. Pressure washing on its own runs at the standard rate, and current offers are confirmed at the time of quoting.
Around 90% of quotes are completed remotely using Google Earth, Street View, listing photos, or photos you send through. In-person quotes are free in our local service area for anyone who’d rather meet face to face.
About 95% of what we do is residential, with the remaining 5% across body corporates and owners corporations.
Our full residential lineup:
The same standard applies on every job: same-day quoting where possible, plant protection, and a satisfaction walkthrough before we leave.
Commercial work is a smaller share of what we do, but it matters for buildings that need a coordinated team:
To set expectations early on scope: our work is mid-rise commercial and below, focused on exterior cleaning rather than post-construction work, and we use cold-water systems rather than hot-water or water-reclamation rigs. Body corporate approvals usually require committee meetings, and we work with that timeline.
During business hours we reply within one to five minutes, often within one. Chasing a quote shouldn’t add to your list, and you shouldn’t have to wait until the end of the day to know what something will cost.
Most quotes are sent within 30 minutes to one hour using Google Earth, Street View, or photos you send through. In-person quotes are free in our local service area.
We run an industrial pressure cleaner, not a homeowner-grade unit, with higher water volume and adjustable pressure. A surface cleaner attachment keeps the finish even instead of leaving the streaky lines a wand alone produces.
Mould, algae, and lichen embed into hard surfaces. They aren’t sitting on top. We apply a chemical pre-treatment to break down the growth, run the surface cleaner, then apply a post-treatment that lifts remaining spores out. The chemical is SH (sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach), the industry-standard agent for organic growth on exterior surfaces.
Vegetation gets rinsed three times in a single job: before any chemical is applied, again during the dwell, and once more after the surface is cleaned. Sensitive electricals are wrapped in plastic and tape. Pets stay inside, and we let you know when it’s safe for kids and animals to come back out so everyone stays clear of the work zone.
Concrete needs to be cured at least three years before we’ll pressure wash it. Drainage has to handle the runoff without flooding the property. Oil staining can fade under degreaser, though some residual marking usually remains. The jobs we take on are the ones we know we can deliver, and we say so before booking instead of after.
We’re one of the most-reviewed and highly rated exterior cleaning companies in our area, with a consistent five-star rating from real Melbourne homeowners.
We carry public liability insurance up to $20 million, and our team is certified to work safely at heights through WorkSafe Victoria. Insurance is the backstop, not the first line of defence. Careful preparation is what keeps problems from happening in the first place.
A quick reply means a quick quote. We ask a short list of discovery questions: which surfaces need cleaning, the approximate size, how long since the last clean, surface material, age of concrete, and any specific stains or problem areas.
We quote remotely most of the time using Google Earth, Street View, and real estate listing photos. For surfaces tucked into backyards or courtyards that aren’t visible online, we ask you to send a few photos through.
Once you accept the quote, we lock in your preferred time and take a 50% deposit online with no credit card fees. You receive a booking confirmation immediately and a reminder 24 hours before service.
We arrive on time and walk the surfaces with you to confirm scope and flag anything that needs attention. Before equipment fires up, we share a few quick reminders: close any windows that might be exposed to spray, keep pets inside, and watch younger kids while the machine is running.
We connect to your outdoor tap so the machine has a steady supply, then cover sensitive electricals with plastic and tape. The machine puts out around 30 litres per minute, more than our 200-litre truck tank can hold for seven minutes on its own. Every plant near the work area gets a thorough soak rinse before any chemical touches the surface.
We apply an SH-based chemical pre-treatment, the industry-standard agent for breaking down organic growth. The treatment starts working on mould, algae, and lichen embedded into the surface so the pressure wash can lift them out cleanly.
The pre-treatment sits for about 10 minutes before pressure goes near the surface. During the dwell, we rinse vegetation again to dilute any chemical that may have drifted onto plants.
Once the dwell is done, we run the industrial pressure cleaner with a surface cleaner attachment that moves evenly across flat areas. Pressure is adjusted to the surface, not cranked to maximum.
After the pressure wash, we apply a second chemical treatment because spores can sit deeper than a single pass can reach. The post-treatment sits for about 20 minutes and finishes lifting any remaining spores out.
After the post-treatment dwell, we rinse all chemicals off the surface and give surrounding vegetation one more thorough rinse to finish the job.
The team does its own walkthrough first, looking for inconsistent areas or anything that needs a touch-up. We fix what we find on the spot, then walk you through the finished work. If you’re not home, we record a video walkthrough.
The day or week after your job, our office team gives you a “happy call” to confirm everything is to standard and (if you’re happy) ask for a Google review. If anything needs sorting, we come back to handle it.
We don’t leave a job until you (or your video walkthrough) confirms you’re happy. Anything that needs a touch-up, we touch up on the spot.
Notice something after we’ve left? We come back and fix it free of charge. No callout fee, no fine print.
In the rare case you’re genuinely unhappy with the service, we refund you. This is a customer-first business.
Public liability cover up to $20 million sits behind every job, paired with WorkSafe Victoria heights certification. That’s the financial backstop if anything ever goes wrong on your property.
A few honest disclosures up front, so there are no surprises later:
Specific guarantee terms are confirmed at the time of booking.
Driveway, concrete, paver, and hard-surface cleaning typically falls in the $475 to $1,000 range. Final pricing depends on the size of the surface, the level of buildup, the surface material, and accessibility. Most standard driveways sit closer to the lower end of the range, while very long or heavily affected jobs move toward the higher end.
A standard driveway or hard-surface job usually takes around an hour. Larger surfaces, very long driveways, or heavily affected areas can take two to three hours.
We cover the full hard-surface category for Melbourne homes: concrete driveways, paver driveways and paths, concrete aggregate, backyard paving, sidewalks, and composite or wooden decks. House washing and roof cleaning are handled separately because they use different methods and risk controls.
We use both. Pressure alone won’t lift mould, algae, or lichen that’s embedded into a hard surface, so we apply a chemical pre-treatment to break down the growth, run the pressure clean, then apply a post-treatment to lift remaining spores out of the surface. The chemical we use is SH (sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach), the industry-standard agent for organic growth on exterior surfaces.
We rinse vegetation thoroughly before any chemical is applied, again during the dwell time to dilute any drift, and once more after the surface is cleaned. Sensitive exterior electricals are covered with plastic and tape before we start. Rinsing vegetation three times in a single job is standard, not optional.
Not if it’s less than three years old. Pressure cleaning new concrete can permanently etch the surface, so we’ll tell you upfront if your concrete isn’t ready and recommend waiting rather than risk damage.
We can use degreasers to fade oil staining, but oil removal isn’t our specialty and we don’t promise full removal. Most oil stains will lighten noticeably, but some residual marking usually remains. We’d rather tell you that upfront than oversell the result.
If the grout is in good condition, no. The cleaning process won’t affect it. If the grout is already cracked, loose, or breaking apart, pressure cleaning may expose or worsen what’s already failing. We’ll flag this during the walkthrough before we start so you know what to expect.
Yes. Our industrial pressure cleaner uses around 30 litres per minute, and our truck tank holds 200 litres, enough for about seven minutes of cleaning on its own. We connect to your outdoor tap on arrival.
Yes. Pressure washing covers our hard-surface work: driveways, paths, paving, and decks. House washing uses a softer approach designed for delicate exterior surfaces, roof cleaning is handled as its own service with safety harness and at-heights certification, and window cleaning runs through our purified-water system.
Need a one-off driveway clean before family visits, a back patio refresh before summer entertaining, or a hard-surface clean to round out a house wash? We can have a quote in your inbox within the hour, with most replies during business hours going out in one to five minutes.
We’re fully insured and certified to work safely at heights, and every job ends with a satisfaction walkthrough, a free return for missed spots, and a money-back guarantee.
