Why Gold Coast windows get dirty fast

Safe for you
Three layers of safety. Zero ladders.
- 1
5600 Pa suction
Holds firmly on vertical and sloping glass the whole time.
- 2
Backup battery + alarm
If the power cuts out, it keeps holding and beeps to warn you.
- 3
4 m safety rope
Tied off indoors, so it can never drop away from the window.
Clean the outside safely
Vitrela holds on with 5600 Pa of suction, has a backup battery that sounds an alarm if power cuts out, and a 4 m safety rope you tie off indoors.
Salt air and sunscreen-smeared glass on the Gold Coast
Gold Coast glass fights constant salt from the surf, plus humidity, pollen and the occasional storm. On balconies, sunscreen and fingerprints add a greasy layer.
Salt film is easiest to remove while it's fresh. A light spray with soft pads clears it, where a dry wipe just spreads it around.
High-rise living in Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Main Beach
Towers along the coast are full of floor-to-ceiling glass and balconies. The outside faces strong winds and salt at height, and it's almost impossible to reach safely.
If you can open the door or window, tie the 4 m safety rope to a solid point indoors and place Vitrela on the outer pane. Never lean out, and don't use it in strong winds.
- Check body corporate rules before exterior cleaning
- Avoid use in strong coastal winds
- Use on smooth flat glass only

Glass balustrades and pool fences
Many Gold Coast homes use frameless glass balustrades and pool fencing. They're smooth and flat, which makes them a good fit for a robot.
Spray from the pool and the sea leaves spots that show in the afternoon light. Clean them in the morning for the clearest result.
Canal homes in Paradise Point, Robina and Mermaid Waters
Canal-front homes are built to show off the view, so they have big sliders and tall windows. Water reflections make every smear obvious.
A routine, such as inside on weekdays and outside once a month, keeps glass from building up a stubborn film.
Best time of day on the Gold Coast
Morning cleans work best. Sea breezes pick up through the day and bring more salt, and afternoon sun can heat glass too much.
In summer, avoid storm-threat afternoons. If the sky darkens, stop and bring the robot inside.
Looking after the robot in a salty climate
After a coastal clean, wipe the robot's body with a slightly damp cloth, rinse the pads and let them dry fully.
Store it indoors in a dry spot, away from the balcony where salt air lingers.

Common questions
Does Vitrela cope with salt on Gold Coast glass?
Yes, a light spray and microfibre pads lift salt film well. Wipe down the robot and dry the pads afterwards.
Can I use it on a high-rise balcony?
On smooth flat glass you can reach from indoors, yes, subject to body corporate rules. Always use the safety rope and avoid windy days.
Will it clean glass pool fencing?
Smooth, flat frameless panels suit it. Very small panels may be too small.
What's the best time to clean?
Morning, before sea breezes and strong sun. Hot, salty afternoons make streaks more likely.
Is it safe in coastal wind?
Avoid using it in strong winds. Keep the safety rope tied off indoors every time.
Do you ship to Gold Coast apartments?
Yes. Dispatch is within 24 hours with free Australia-wide shipping.
