Your windows might be clean — but are the frames and tracks? Built-up grime, mould, dead insects and debris in frames and tracks make even freshly cleaned glass look tired. Our detailed frame and track cleaning service restores every window to a truly spotless finish.
Most window cleaning services focus solely on the glass — but a window is only truly clean when the entire system is clean. At Golden Star Window Cleaning, our frame and track cleaning service treats every component: the frame, the track channel, the seals, the sills and the corners where debris accumulates over years.
Frame and track cleaning is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to your residential or commercial window clean. When added to a full window clean, it's the most cost-effective way to achieve a completely finished result — and it protects your frames from premature deterioration caused by trapped moisture and mould.
We work on all common frame types across Melbourne: aluminium, uPVC, timber, powder-coated steel and anodised frames — using the right tools and cleaning agents for each material without causing scratching or surface damage.
A frame and track clean isn't a single wipe-down. It's a methodical, multi-step process that treats every surface of the window system — not just the visible parts.
We begin by using a fine-detail vacuum to remove loose debris, dead insects, dust and grit from the track channels before any moisture is introduced. This prevents debris turning to muddy paste.
Using pH-appropriate cleaning solutions for each frame material, we wipe down all frame faces — exterior and interior — removing surface grime, environmental deposits, spider webs and oxidisation marks.
Mould in window frames is extremely common — particularly in bathrooms, kitchens and areas with poor ventilation. We apply an appropriate mould treatment that kills spores at the surface without damaging seals or paint.
After vacuuming, tracks are scrubbed with a small detail brush to dislodge compacted grime from the channel base and sides. The track is then rinsed and dried — leaving it clean, clear and functional.
Window sills — especially external sills — collect significant grime, bird deposits and weathering marks. We include sill cleaning as part of the frame service, leaving the entire window surround clean from top to bottom.
Every frame and track is inspected by our team before we leave. If anything is missed or not up to standard, we re-clean it on the spot. Our satisfaction guarantee applies to every part of the service — frames included.
Different frame materials require different cleaning techniques and products. Our team is trained to identify the correct approach for each material — preventing scratches, surface dulling or seal damage.
The most common frame type in Melbourne homes and apartments. Aluminium is durable but attracts oxidisation and environmental staining. We use pH-neutral degreasers that remove grime without dulling the anodised finish.
Timber frames are found in period homes across inner Melbourne suburbs. They require careful treatment — too much moisture causes swelling; too harsh a chemical strips paint or stain. We use low-moisture methods with wood-safe products.
uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) frames are increasingly popular in new builds and double-glazed units. They're prone to yellowing and surface grease buildup. We use uPVC-compatible cleaners that restore whiteness without abrading the surface.
Found in commercial buildings, modern homes and industrial spaces. Powder-coated finishes scratch easily if abrasive products are used. We use microfibre-only contact on these surfaces with soft-action degreasers — preserving the factory finish.
Mould in window frames isn't just unsightly — it releases spores into your home. In bedrooms and living areas this contributes to poor air quality and can aggravate respiratory conditions.
Debris packed into sliding window tracks forces you to use excessive force to open and close windows — over time this damages the rollers and track seals, requiring expensive repair or replacement.
Trapped moisture between frame surfaces and the wall accelerates corrosion in aluminium and steel frames. Regular cleaning removes the trapped moisture and debris that causes long-term structural deterioration.
First impressions matter — especially for rental properties, commercial premises and homes for sale. Dirty frames undermine the effect of clean glass and suggest poor maintenance overall to visitors and tenants.
Adding frame and track cleaning to your regular window clean costs a fraction of a standalone booking — and delivers a complete, finished result. Ask about bundled pricing when you request a quote.
Best value when bundled with a window cleanSimple, fixed pricing with no hidden extras. Add frame and track cleaning to any window clean for the best value — or book it as a standalone service for a full detail.
Frame faces wiped and detailed — ideal as an add-on to a standard glass clean when tracks are in good condition.
Full frame and track clean — the most popular option. Add this to your window glass clean for a complete, fully detailed result on every window.
Frame and track cleaning only — no glass clean included. Ideal for recently cleaned glass that just needs the frames and tracks refreshed.
Prices are per standard window. Large windows, heavy soiling, and access requirements may affect pricing. Contact us for a fixed quote on your property.
We don't use one product on every frame. Our team selects the appropriate cleaning agent for aluminium, timber, uPVC or powder-coated steel — protecting your frames from chemical damage.
All Golden Star technicians are covered by full public liability insurance. You're protected on every job, whether it's a single bathroom window or a full commercial building.
We respect your time. Our team arrives in the agreed window, completes the work efficiently and leaves your property tidy — no unnecessary mess or delays.
If any frame or track isn't up to standard, we'll re-clean it on the spot before we leave. No arguments, no call-backs — just the result you paid for, delivered the first time.
