Window cleaning in Malta & Gozo
Salt spray, construction dust and the odd shower of red Saharan rain mean windows here never stay clear for long. We send specialists who clean glass, frames and sills properly, inside and out.
Also called window washing, window cleaners, glass cleaning. In Maltese: tindif tat-twieqi.
What's included
- Glass cleaned inside and out, where access allows
- Frames, sills and tracks wiped down
- Balcony doors, patio sliders and glass balustrades
- Hard-to-reach and high windows with the right equipment

Why windows in Malta get dirty so fast
Most of the islands are within a short distance of the sea, so salt carried on the wind dries onto glass as a cloudy film. Add dust from ongoing construction and the reddish mud left behind when rain brings down Saharan dust, and a window can look grimy within weeks.
Wiping that residue off with a dry cloth scratches glass. A proper clean loosens it first, then rinses and finishes the glass so it dries clear.
How often should you clean your windows?
For most homes, every two to three months keeps glass looking good. Seafront properties and homes near building sites usually need more frequent visits. Offices and shopfronts often book monthly or fortnightly.
Window cleaning prices in Malta
Every quote is fixed and agreed before the work starts. What decides the price:

Read the guide →Window cleaning: common questions
Do you clean high windows and apartment blocks?
Yes. Upper floors and facades are quoted individually, because access decides the method and the equipment. Tell us the building height and send a photo and we will advise.
Do I need to be home?
For outside-only cleans you usually do not. For inside glass, someone needs to let the specialist in. Many customers arrange key collection.
Can you clean Maltese balconies (gallariji)?
Yes. Traditional timber balconies have many small panes and delicate frames, so they take longer and are quoted separately from standard windows.
How is the price worked out?
By the number and size of windows, how easy they are to reach, and whether you want inside, outside or both. Photos help us give you an accurate quote quickly.
Do you use pure water or water-fed poles?
Where the glass and access suit it, purified water on water-fed poles is used, which dries without streaks and lets upper-floor glass be cleaned from the ground. Other windows are cleaned by hand. The method is confirmed in your quote.
Is it cheaper to book regular window cleaning?
Usually, yes. A regular schedule takes less time per visit than a one-off clean after months of build-up, and that is reflected in the price.
