Window Cleaning in Vienna
Window Cleaning in Vienna
A written schedule of services, the same registered team, and the price in writing after a free site visit.
02. What Window Cleaning at Bling Bling covers
The scope of work in Vienna at a glance — what the contract says and what actually happens on site.
Access at height to suit the building
Up to about twelve metres with a telescopic pole and demineralised water, above that with a platform, and where no machine can reach, rope access with tested anchor points.
Roller shutters, external venetian blinds and blinds
Slats on both sides, the guide rails, the bottom rail and the slot in the housing. Powder-coated aluminium is cleaned mildly, because alkaline agents leave dull patches on it.
Roof windows and sloping glazing
Both sides inside, outside as far as it can be reached safely, plus the flashing, the drainage channel and the insect screen of the ventilation slot.
Cellar windows, light wells and gratings
Lifting the grating, clearing the well, checking the drain, cleaning the window and frame. In a full well the water stands against the cellar window.
Floor tracks of lift-and-slide and balcony doors
The track is where sand collects and where the drainage hole sits. It is vacuumed out, flushed and checked for flow, before the casement starts to run heavily.
Taking insect screens out and refitting them
The frame comes off, the mesh is cleaned on both sides, the frame and the magnetic strip are done as well, and it goes back on. Left in place, the mesh can only be dusted.
The box-type window is the norm in Vienna's older stock: two levels of casement with a cavity and its own sill between them, and the time it takes is a multiple of a coupled window. On the street side, greasy traffic dirt gets into the rebate; on the courtyard side it is more dust and pollen — so we set the cycles separately for each side. For platform work on street facades, access and the short-stay parking zone have to be arranged beforehand, and because night work is restricted in residential areas, the appointments are during the day.
03. Window Cleaning: Bling Bling vs. the competition
Window cleaning is quoted by the window, but the work is in the type: a box-type window has four surfaces to clean, a window with glazing bars means a great deal of hand work, and a sliding element on the third floor needs access that has to be planned. Quoting a flat rate per window means saving on the frame and the rebate — and that is where the dirt sits that runs over the freshly cleaned pane in the next rain. We record the windows by type at the site visit, work with demineralised water and put the rebate, frame and sill into the scope. The work is done by fixed staff who know the building and how to get in. In Vienna, Bling Bling works with the same core team that knows the building.

06. 10 reasons for Window Cleaning from Bling Bling
What a cleaning company has to be measured against — and which of it can be verified.
1In business since 2014
A family firm, not a franchise and not a broker — whoever quotes also carries out the work.
2Registered core team
Permanently employed and properly registered. No chain of subcontractors where nobody is liable at the end.
3The same people every time
The team knows the building, the access and the routines. Cover is arranged and named in advance.
4€3m public liability
Personal injury, property and financial loss covered; the certificate is attached to the quotation.
5RKI/VAH-listed agents, HACCP
Listed agents, trained staff, a cleaning and disinfection plan for each building.
6Multilingual
German, English and five further languages — the briefing gets through.
7No price without a site visit
A flat price over the phone rarely holds. After the visit the framework is set out in writing. A monthly flat rate applies to weekly recurring cleaning; one-off and deep cleans by effort - hourly, per square metre or flat - travel included.
8Dated proof
Record of each visit and photo documentation, reported monthly.
9Work at height planned in advance
Access, cordoning and anchor points are settled at the site visit. Rope access is always worked in pairs, with tested equipment.
10Windows and sun shading in one appointment
External blinds, venetian blinds, roller shutters and insect screens are done in the same visit with us, instead of a second firm coming for them.
07. Window Cleaning in 4 more cities
Bling Bling works in Vienna, Graz, Linz, Salzburg and Klosterneuburg — with its own staff on site, not with subcontractors hired in.
08. Window Cleaning for 5 typical situations
The same service looks different depending on the occasion — these five situations come up most often.
The autumn appointment before the heating season
Sun shading is put away for the winter, insect screens taken off, rebates and drainage cleared, seals treated.
A change of tenants throughout the building
The property manager bundles the empty units into one appointment, and the work is done in one go without regard to occupancy.
Bird droppings on the sill and the grating
The outer sill, the metalwork, the grating and the reveal are taken up damp and disinfected, because the droppings attack metal and paint.
Spring, after road salt and pollen
Salt dust and pollen settle in the rebate and the screens; the first clean of the year takes the whole season with it.
After building work on the property
After work on the facade, the roof or the windows, fine dust, mortar and adhesive residue lie on glass and frames. The sooner, the less is left behind.
★ Worth knowing
What is often misjudged about Window Cleaning
Said up front, on the facts — not after the invoice.
Coatings and films on glass do not forgive a blade
Solar, privacy and safety films sit on the room side of the glass and are softer than it: a blade, scouring powder and hard pads leave marks that stay, and a lifted film edge tears further. Self-cleaning glass has a fired-in functional layer that abrasives and silicone-based care products put out of action. We record before the first visit which pane has what, and work there chemically, with dwell time and a soft cloth.
Streaks rarely come from the product, usually from residue
Surfactant residue and lime from the tap water dry as a film and bind dust; the pane goes grey again against the light although it was cleaned. Demineralised water with a conductivity close to zero dries without residue and does not have to be squeegeed. We do not work in the sun, because the solution dries before it can be taken off — the work follows the shaded side.
Cloudy is not the same as dirty
If the edge seal of a double-glazed unit has failed, the cloudiness sits inside the cavity and cannot be reached from outside; that is a job for the glazier. If rainwater runs over fresh concrete or galvanised metal onto the pane, glass corrosion follows: the alkali leaches silicate out of the glass surface, and the dull patch is etched and stays. We check this at the site visit and state in the quotation which panes will come clear again.

●. Frequently asked questions about Window Cleaning in Vienna
What does Window Cleaning cost?
There is no price before the site visit, and a figure given over the phone rarely holds. We look at surfaces, access and time windows, and then the cost framework is set out in writing with a schedule of services. What changes the price: the area, the frequency, the condition at handover and the time of day the work is done. Two rules apply everywhere: a monthly flat rate is only offered for recurring cleaning at least once a week, including stairwells. One-off jobs, first cleans and deep cleans are billed by effort - depending on the service by the hour at a higher rate, by square metre or as a flat price - and travel time there and back counts.
Is the site visit really free?
Yes, free of charge and without obligation. It is the only way to quote seriously, so we treat it as part of the offer, not as a service to be paid for.
Does the same person come every time?
Yes. The team is permanently employed and knows the building, the access arrangements and the routines. Cover is arranged in advance and named, and it works from the building log, not from a verbal handover.
Is your staff properly registered?
All of them, with social insurance. No chain of subcontractors in which nobody is liable at the end. Proof is provided on request.
What insurance is in place?
Public liability of €3m, covering personal injury, property damage and financial loss. The certificate is attached to the quotation.
What happens if something is not right?
It is put right within 48 hours, in writing, at no extra cost. Measured against the schedule of services and a joint inspection, not against an impression.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes — early, late, at weekends or on public holidays. In occupied buildings, daytime cleaning in sections is often the better option, because the client sees the work and can raise anything immediately.
Do I have to provide materials or a room?
Materials and equipment we bring. What helps is a lockable store with a slop sink, space for the trolley and somewhere for pads to dry — damp pads in a closed bag are the most common source of smell in an otherwise clean building.
What notice period applies?
The contract is terminable monthly. There is no minimum term and no automatic extension by the year.
Do you also work in English?
Yes — German, English and five further languages. The briefing gets through, which matters more on site than it sounds.
Which documents do I get?
A schedule of services with frequencies, a dated record of each visit, photo documentation before and after, and a monthly report.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the quotation being accepted. Short-notice jobs are most readily possible in Vienna, because travel times within a district are short.
