Windows in Melbourne dirty up faster than most homeowners expect. Bayside suburbs like Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham pick up a salty film off the bay almost as soon as the panes are dry. Properties along the Monash, EastLink, or any of the busy arterials pull in road grime that settles into the frames. Add tree-lined streets shedding pollen, construction sites kicking up dust, plus long warm summers and gusty cool changes, and the glass ends up dotted with mineral spotting well before most people would think to call.
That’s where Mr Sparkle Window Cleaning comes in. We’re the residential window cleaning team Melbourne homeowners turn to for fast quotes, on-time arrivals, and a finish that actually looks finished. Our purified water system dries streak-free, our frames-first process means cobwebs and grime never track down a freshly rinsed pane, and every job is backed by public liability cover up to $20 million. We’re 95% residential-focused, so homes are what we work on every day of the week.
Call us today on (03) 7073 2133 to get on the schedule.
Residential window cleaning is priced per job, with a single figure that covers the full property. The number on your quote reflects the size of the home, the number and type of windows, how the property is laid out, and whether you’re after exterior-only or interior plus exterior.
Our minimum charge is $475. A typical residential window clean falls in the $475 – $1,000 range, with larger homes able to exceed $1,000 depending on scope. The factors that move pricing up or down:
For timing, an exterior-only residential window clean takes about two hours. An interior plus exterior clean usually runs four to six hours, depending on window type and home size.
To confirm a booking, we ask for a 50% deposit. You can pay it online and credit card payments are accepted at no extra cost. If your property has details we haven’t covered, pricing for your specific home is available on request.
For homeowners who want predictable, year-round results without paying full price every visit, we run two recurring memberships and one bundle offer:
Quoting is just as easy. Most quotes go out within 30 minutes to one hour of the inquiry, and our office team usually replies inside one to five minutes during business hours. Around 90% of quotes are completed remotely using Google Earth, Street View, real estate listing photos, or photos you send through, which keeps the whole process off your calendar. Prefer to meet face to face? In-person quotes are free in our local service area.
We clean every standard residential window found in Melbourne homes, and we adjust our approach for specialty glass that calls for a more careful hand.
The bulk of Melbourne residential windows fall into this group, and the result you get from our system is glass that looks clean from inside as well as outside, in every light. We clean them from the outside using our water-fed pole rig with purified water. Because the water has no minerals in it, the glass dries clear with no rinse residue and nothing to wipe down afterwards.
The frames are part of the job, not an afterthought. We scrub the frame, clear the cobwebs around it, and clean the pane before any rinse, because frame grime that gets ignored will track straight down a freshly cleaned window. Working frames-first is the difference between a window that looks clean for an afternoon and one that holds up.
Interior windows are cleaned by hand using warm soapy water with Morning Fresh dishwashing soap. Hand-cleaning takes longer than the exterior pole method, and it pays back the time by reaching corners, edges, and frame seams where buildup sits hidden. The interior pass is also worth booking for homes that stay closed up while the air conditioning runs through summer or the heater runs through winter, since these are the conditions where mould can develop on interior glass and start to affect indoor air quality. A regular interior clean keeps that from getting started.
French panes are the most labour-intensive interior window we clean. Each pane is detailed individually by hand, which is why interior French pane cleaning can run two to three times the cost of cleaning the exterior of those same windows. The work reflects what’s actually involved in cleaning dozens of small panes one at a time. We’re happy to clean them, and we’ll always be transparent about the labour upfront so the quote makes sense the moment you see it.
Screen cleaning is offered as an optional add-on you can include with your window clean. We pop the screen out, wipe it down, and reinstall it. If your home is near the bay or a busy road, adding screens is worth it, since the mesh quietly collects airborne grit that ends up making your glass look dirty faster.
Plenty of bayside and inner-suburb homes still have older timber-framed sash windows, original leadlight, or heritage glazing. We adjust pressure, scrubbing force, and handling for any window that calls for a gentler approach, and our team will speak up if a piece of glass needs to be looked at by a specialist before any cleaning happens. Careful handling protects pieces that are not made to be replaced.
Hard water removal is included free of charge as part of our quarterly recurring exterior window cleaning offer. It’s one of the perks of staying on a regular schedule, since spotting that’s caught early lifts off easily and your glass keeps a consistent finish year-round.
Most homeowners are juggling work, school runs, and weekend planning, so we make the first message back as fast as possible. During business hours we usually respond inside one to five minutes, often inside the first minute. You get a real person on the other end while the task is still on your mind, which is usually all it takes to keep a window clean from getting parked on the to-do list.
Getting a price is fast and remote-first. We send most quotes within 30 minutes to one hour of the inquiry, and around 90% are handled remotely from real estate listings, Street View, or a quick photo you text through. If you’d rather meet face to face, in-person quotes are still free in our local service area.
Pure water is what makes the difference you actually see. The water in our pole system has the minerals stripped out, so when it dries on the glass it leaves nothing behind: no spotting, no streaks, no wipe-down required. Combined with our frames-first method, the result is windows that hold their finish from day one to your next clean.
We’re one of the most-reviewed and highest-rated window cleaning companies in our area, with a consistent five-star rating. Every one of those reviews came from a real Melbourne homeowner who got the result they were promised.
We carry public liability insurance up to $20 million, and our team is certified to work safely at heights. We operate as a properly insured business with the safeguards in place to back up the work, which is the foundation under everything else on this page.
Our satisfaction process has three layers: a customer walkthrough on completion (or a video walkthrough if you’re not home), a free return visit if anything is missed, and a refund if for any reason you’re still not happy with the job. The way the owner puts it: we’ll give your money back. The work is the priority, the customer relationship is the priority, and we run the business on both.
We arrive when we say we will and keep you informed at every checkpoint: confirmation when you book, a 24-hour reminder before service, on-time arrival on the day, a walkthrough at the end, and a follow-up call once the work has had a day or two to settle. Deposits are paid online in advance, with credit card payments accepted at no extra cost, so the back-end of the experience stays as clean as the windows.
We’re a local team that’s 95% residential-focused, so homes are what we work on all day. Brighton, Hampton, and Sandringham are our priority service areas, and we work across Melbourne broadly. Our focus stays on residential window cleaning and home exteriors, which keeps the team specialised on the work we do best, with post-construction sites and high-rise commercial buildings handled by other specialists.
Every job runs on two principles: do the work properly and keep you informed at every stage. Here’s what that looks like step by step from your side.
When your inquiry comes in, you’ll hear back within one to five minutes during business hours, generally one. We ask a short set of discovery questions to scope the job: exterior-only or interior plus exterior, number of levels, window types (especially whether the home has French panes), whether you’d like screens included, whether you’re after a one-off clean or recurring schedule, and where the home sits relative to the bay, busy roads, or construction.
With your answers in hand, we pull up the property on Google Earth, Street View, and any real estate listing photos available so we can scope the job accurately without needing to come out. Around 80% of Melbourne properties have listing photos available; for the rest, we’ll either ask you to text through a few photos, or we’ll come out in person free of charge if you’d prefer. The quote usually lands inside 30 minutes to an hour.
Once you accept the quote, we lock in your preferred time and take a 50% deposit online. Credit card payments are accepted at no extra cost. You’ll get a booking confirmation straight away, then a reminder 24 hours before service so the appointment stays top of mind.
We arrive on time, introduce ourselves, and walk through the scope of work so everyone is on the same page. We’ll ask you to keep windows closed and pets inside while the team works around the perimeter. We’ll also check whether there are specific areas you’d like extra attention on.
Our truck arrives stocked with everything we need: water-fed pole system, hoses, ladders, soapy water solution for interior work, and the screen cleaning kit if it’s been booked. The only thing we ask for on site is access to your outdoor tap. Our system pushes a high volume of water through the pole, more than the truck tank can supply on its own, so connecting to your tap keeps the rig fed straight through the job.
The exterior pass starts at the top windows of the first section. We scrub the frames, clear the cobwebs around them, scrub the glass thoroughly, then rinse with pure water so the glass dries streak-free. From there we move to the lower windows in that section, then on to the next section, and the same sequence repeats. Working section by section in this order means dirty runoff never lands on glass we’ve already cleaned.
Interior cleaning is done by hand with warm soapy water and Morning Fresh. French panes get the most attention because they’re cleaned individually. If we spot anything outside that needs a touch-up while we’re working inside, we’ll keep the exterior gear on hand and finish it after the interior pass before we leave.
If screens are part of your booking, we pop them out, wipe them down, and reinstall them. Screen cleaning is always booked as a deliberate add-on, so it only happens when you’ve asked for it.
Before bringing you in for the final walkthrough, we walk the job ourselves first. We look for inconsistencies, missed spots, anything that needs another pass. Whatever we find, we fix on the spot.
We do a final walkthrough with you before we leave. If you’re not home (which is common for Melbourne homeowners booking remotely or working through the day), we record a video walkthrough you can review on your own schedule, so you can sign off on the work whenever it suits you.
Our walkthrough catches almost everything, but if you spot something later that evening, we come back and fix it free of charge. This return visit is built into the standard service, so you can call it in without explaining yourself.
The day after, or the week after depending on the schedule, our office team gives you a “happy call” to confirm everything is up to standard. If you’re happy, we’ll ask for a Google review. We also share maintenance advice tailored to your property: homes near Port Phillip Bay (Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham), busy roads, or construction sites dirty up faster, so a quarterly recurring schedule keeps the glass looking consistently clean. For lower-exposure homes, biannual is usually enough. The recommendation is yours to take or leave.
Every job ends with a walkthrough, in person or by video, where you (or the recap we record for you) confirm the work is finished to your satisfaction. If something needs a final touch-up before we go, we handle it then and there.
Our return-visit promise is simple: if you spot something after we’ve left, we come back and fix it free of charge. No callout fee, no fine print, no hoops to jump through. It’s the safety net that sits behind the walkthrough.
In the rare case a customer is genuinely unhappy with the service, we refund them. The business is built around getting the work right the first time and standing behind it the rare time we don’t.
Quarterly recurring exterior window cleaning clients are covered by a seven-day rain guarantee. If rain hits within seven days of the clean and leaves spotting on the windows, we come back and fix them free of charge. For Melbourne homeowners booking around unpredictable weather, this is one of the strongest reassurances we can offer.
Every job runs under public liability insurance up to $20 million, the kind of cover that lets you book the service knowing the business behind the work is properly underwritten. It’s the financial backstop sitting under every other promise on this page.
A few things sit outside our control, and we’d rather say so up front:
We will always flag conditions like this during the walkthrough or before starting the job, and any specific guarantee terms relevant to your property are confirmed at the time of booking.

Our minimum charge is $475. A typical residential window clean falls in the $475 to $1,000 range, with larger homes coming in above that. Final pricing depends on the size of the home, the number and type of windows, and whether the clean is exterior-only or interior + exterior.
An exterior-only clean usually takes about two hours. An interior + exterior clean takes approximately four to six hours, depending on the home size and window type.
We use a water-fed pole system with purified water that contains no minerals, which is what allows the glass to dry streak-free. Our process scrubs the frames first, removes cobwebs around the frames, scrubs the glass pane, and rinses thoroughly with pure water, working top to bottom and section by section.
Yes. Interior windows are cleaned by hand using soapy water with Morning Fresh dishwashing soap. French panes take significantly longer because each pane is cleaned individually, which is why interior French pane cleaning can run two to three times the cost of cleaning the exterior of the same windows.
No. Around 90% of our residential window cleaning quotes are handled remotely using Google Earth, Google Street View, real estate listing photos, or photos you send through. If you’d prefer an in-person quote, we offer them free of charge in our local Melbourne service area.
Yes, as an add-on service that isn’t included in the standard window cleaning price. We take the screen off, wipe it down, and reinstall it. Screens are worth adding for homes near the bay or busy roads where the mesh collects airborne grit.
For homes near the bay, busy roads, or construction zones, the most effective approach is a recurring exterior window clean, quarterly for high-exposure properties or biannually for lower-exposure homes. Quarterly clients get $100 off per visit, 10% off additional services, priority scheduling, free hard water removal, and a seven-day rain guarantee.
For our quarterly recurring exterior window cleaning clients, the seven-day rain guarantee covers it. If rain affects the windows within seven days of the clean, we come back and fix them free of charge.
We record a video walkthrough so you can review the work yourself if you’re not on site. If you spot anything after we’ve left, we come back and fix it free of charge.
Yes. We are fully licensed and insured to operate in Victoria, our team carries certification to work safely at heights, and we carry public liability insurance up to $20 million.
A one-off clean before family visits, a finishing touch paired with a house wash, or a quarterly schedule for a bayside home that needs to look its best year-round all start the same way. Send us your address, and we’ll have a quote in your inbox inside the hour during business hours. The whole process is set up to fit around your day, with remote quoting as the standard and an in-person visit available if you prefer.
