Got Questions About Solar Panel Cleaning?

Find everything you need to know about our solar panel cleaning below.

Why should I get my solar panels cleaned professionally?

Professional cleaning ensures that your solar panels are thoroughly cleaned without causing damage. DIY cleaning with regular tap water or soap can leave residues that reduce efficiency. Mike uses a pure water system, which leaves panels spot-free and keeps them running at peak performance.

How often should I have my solar panels cleaned?

We recommend cleaning your solar panels at least once a year to maximise their efficiency and lifespan. However, if you live in a particularly dusty area, or if your panels are prone to bird droppings, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.

What’s included in your solar panel cleaning service?

Each cleaning includes a multi-point inspection of your panels and inverter, thermal imaging to detect hidden issues, and pure water technology that ensures a spotless, streak-free finish. For additional protection, we offer solar siphon drainage clips to prevent water and dirt buildup.

What are solar siphon drainage clips, and why would I need them?

Solar siphon drainage clips help water drain off flat or inclined panels, preventing stagnant water and dirt buildup along the panel edges. This keeps your panels cleaner for longer, improving efficiency. We offer these clips as an add-on for just $4 each.

Does cleaning my solar panels improve their efficiency?

Yes, regular cleaning can improve solar panel efficiency by up to 25%. Dust, dirt, and bird droppings block sunlight, reducing the amount of energy your panels can produce. A professional clean removes all these obstacles, helping you save more on your energy bill.

How does thermal imaging help with solar panel maintenance?

Thermal imaging allows us to detect any hidden issues, such as hotspots or faulty cells, which could affect the performance of your solar panels. This early detection helps prevent costly repairs down the line and ensures that your system operates safely and efficiently.

Can I clean my solar panels myself?

While it's possible, DIY cleaning often uses tap water, which can leave mineral deposits and streaks that reduce panel efficiency. Mike’s professional service uses 0-contaminant pure water for a spotless finish, along with the right equipment to avoid damaging the panels.

Do you offer discounts for larger solar arrays?

Yes, we offer volume discounts for larger residential and commercial setups. For residential arrays with more than 40 panels, and for commercial properties with over 100 panels, we provide reduced per-panel rates. Contact us for a custom quote!

Are there any additional costs for two-story properties?

Yes, due to the extra labor and safety requirements for accessing two-story properties, the starting rate is higher, generally between $180–$200 for up to 20 panels. This ensures we can safely and effectively clean your panels without compromising quality.

What areas do you service?

Got Questions About Window Cleaning?

Find everything you need to know about our window cleaning below.

Why should I hire a professional for window cleaning?

Hiring a professional ensures a spotless, streak-free finish that’s hard to achieve with DIY methods. We use specialised tools and pure water technology, which leaves your windows crystal clear and free of residue. Plus, our team can reach those tricky spots safely and effectively.

What’s included in your window cleaning service?

Our service includes cleaning the glass, frames, tracks, screens, and even sliding mesh doors if applicable. We ensure that every part of your windows is cleaned thoroughly, not just the glass, so your entire window system looks fresh and clear.

What is included in your gutter cleaning service?

Our gutter cleaning service includes the removal of all debris from gutters and downspouts, a thorough inspection to identify any minor issues, and flushing out of downspouts to ensure proper water flow. We make sure your gutter system is fully functional and ready to handle any rain.

How often should I have my windows cleaned?

For most homes, we recommend window cleaning at least once or twice a year to keep them in top condition. However, properties in areas with high dust, pollen, or pollution may benefit from quarterly cleanings to maintain clarity and curb appeal.

Do you clean both the inside and outside of the windows?

Yes, our comprehensive window cleaning service includes both interior and exterior cleaning. This ensures a complete, streak-free finish on every window, letting in more light and enhancing the view.

Will window cleaning improve the amount of natural light in my home?

Absolutely! Clean windows allow more natural light to enter, brightening up your space and making it feel more inviting. Removing dust, dirt, and streaks improves light penetration and the overall ambiance of your home.

Is your cleaning process safe for my windows?

Yes, we use pure water technology and professional-grade tools that are gentle on windows. Our pure water system leaves no streaks or residue, and it’s completely free of chemicals, making it safe for your windows, frames, and screens.

Can you clean high or hard-to-reach windows?

Yes, we’re equipped to handle high and hard-to-reach windows. Our team uses extension poles and ladders safely, and we’re trained to access tricky areas to ensure every window is thoroughly cleaned.

Do you clean windows on commercial properties as well?

Yes, we offer window cleaning for both residential and commercial properties. We understand that businesses have unique needs, and we can work around your schedule to minimize disruption and ensure your windows look professional and inviting.

How much does window cleaning cost?

Our prices vary based on property size and window count. For example, a typical 2-bedroom home starts at $250, with prices increasing for larger properties. We also offer custom quotes for commercial properties based on the scope of the job.

Got Questions About Gutter Cleaning?

Find everything you need to know about our gutter cleaning below.

Why should I have my gutters professionally cleaned?

Professional gutter cleaning ensures that all debris, dirt, and blockages are thoroughly removed without damaging your gutters. Our team uses the right equipment and techniques to keep your gutters clear, which helps prevent costly water damage to your roof, walls, and foundation.

How often should I clean my gutters?

In general, we recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year – once in the spring and once in the autumn. However, if you have overhanging trees or experience heavy rainfall, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to avoid clogs and overflow.

What is included in your gutter cleaning service?

Our gutter cleaning service includes the removal of all debris from gutters and downspouts, a thorough inspection to identify any minor issues, and flushing out of downspouts to ensure proper water flow. We make sure your gutter system is fully functional and ready to handle any rain.

How do I know if my gutters need cleaning?

If you notice water overflowing during rain, sagging gutters, or plants growing in your gutters, it’s time for a clean. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent these signs, but if you see any of them, contact us for a professional gutter cleaning.

How do clogged gutters cause damage to my property?

When gutters are blocked, water can overflow and seep into your roof, walls, and even your foundation. This can lead to issues like mold growth, wood rot, and erosion around the foundation, which are costly to repair. Regular cleaning prevents these problems by ensuring water flows smoothly away from your property.

Can I clean my gutters myself?

While it’s possible to clean gutters yourself, it can be dangerous without the proper equipment and experience. Professional gutter cleaning is safer and more effective, and we can spot potential issues before they become major problems.

Do you offer gutter guard installation?

Yes, we offer gutter guard installation as an add-on service. Gutter guards help reduce the frequency of cleaning by preventing leaves and large debris from entering your gutters, which is especially useful if you have overhanging trees.

What areas do you service?

We serve the Sunraysia region, including Mildura, Merbein, Irymple, Dareton, Red Cliffs, Buronga, Nichols Point, and Wentworth. If you’re located in or near these areas, get in touch to book your gutter cleaning service.

Are there additional charges for two-story properties?

Yes, two-story properties require additional labor and equipment, so the rate is slightly higher. Our pricing structure reflects the added safety measures and time needed to clean gutters on multi-story homes.

How much does gutter cleaning cost?

For single-story homes, gutter cleaning starts at $250. Two-story properties and larger homes will have an adjusted rate based on the complexity and size of the job. Commercial properties also have custom pricing based on the building’s size and needs.
