Most residential clients require their windows cleaned every 3 - 6 months. However, this can vary depending on many factors, such as traffic pollution, if the house is near the beach and is affected by salt spray, or if there are a lot of little children or pets putting dirty hands or paws on the glass, etc
The cost for window cleaning small places generally starts from $150. However, it depends on the quantity and difficulty of access to the windows. Given that few jobs are the same, our window cleaners are prepared to visit the job in person free of charge to give you a competitive quote - obligation free.
If the job is simple to explain, please provide details on the 'Contact Us' page.
We can often give you the price straight away. Emailing photos will help too. For other jobs, we are happy to pay a visit in person to provide you the quote.
You can pay the window cleaner when he comes to do the job either by Cash, Bank Transfer or Credit Card (Visa or MasterCard, only for domestic jobs).
Of course! All our window cleaners are willing and happy to provide you with a tax invoice.
We clean Residential, Commercial, Strata, Industrial and Government building windows - inside and out. We can access just about any windows from ground floor up to 6 storeys high, and gutters up to 3 storeys high.
We can often carry out the job within the same week of your enquiry. If you're in a rush, it may be possible to arrange to have the job done in the same visit as the quote. To speed things up, email us the address with a good description of the job and if possible, a few photos.
Once you've made a booking and know the date and time for the window cleaners to arrive, we'll send you a reminder email a couple of days beforehand.
if we are cleaning the inside of your windows, please make sure your blinds are pulled up, curtains are opened and any personal effects or ornaments are removed from your window sills to allow us clear access.
Obviously, we clean the glass. We also wipe the frames and clean any fly screens (or fly wires). If there are a few little paint spots or hard marks, we will remove them. However, where there is a lot of scraping and after renovation grime to remove, there will be additional charges. Please make sure to mention anything like that.
If you need the window tracks (the bottom part of the window frame that a sliding window moves across) cleaned, please mention this before we give the quote.
Firstly, some windows can be accessed from inside. We also use poles and tall ladders where possible.
For windows above 2 to 3 stories and below 7 that can't be accessed from inside, we have a long water-fed pole with pure water system which delivers sparkling results to glass and the surrounds. This amazing technology can reach up to 70 feet, or 20 meters high!
It's safe to use - no chemicals and the worker stands safely on the ground.

Yes. We can provide you with a SWMS once a job has been confirmed. Please let us know in advance if this will be required.
We also do pressure cleaning/house washing and gutter cleaning. We do not do high-rise window cleaning or abseiling.
El Toro cares for the environment and is leading the industry in environmentally friendly work practise. Some steps already in place are:
Sometimes. This depends on several factors. However, we do understand that great care needs to be taken to avoid scratching the glass. This specialised type of window cleaning work is best left to the professionals!
We normally continue working if it is raining lightly. However, if we consider the weather dangerous for work, ie. stormy and wild winds, then we would re-schedule.
Not really. The three main reasons windows become dirty are:
If these are present on the glass when it rains, the residue in the rain attaches itself to the dirt and often makes the windows look worse. So if the windows have recently been cleaned, then the rain will simply run off the clean glass and the windows continue to remain clean.
Yes we do. Keeping fly screens (also called fly wire or insect screens) clean helps to keep the windows clean too. Please mention if you have fly screens at your place.
We aim to go above and beyond your expectations on every job we do. If you are not 100% satisfied, please bring it to the attention of the worker while he is there, and he'll be happy to do whatever it takes (within reason) to remedy the job. Please note, once 7 days after completion of the job has passed, weather, spider webs and other things could start to affect the quality of our work.
We get job satisfaction from getting sparkling results and our goal is to keep our clients coming back to us.
I'm often asked about tips on how to window clean, so I've prepared these two pages explaining our professional methods: Tips on How to Window Clean and How to Clean Small Window Panes.
Windowwasher.com.au is the website address for El Toro Window & Gutter Cleaning. As for where does 'El Toro' come from?, you'll have to ask the cleaner himself about that!
