Window cleaning robot in Perth

Why Perth windows get dirty fast

Perth homes deal with bright sun, red dust and large open-plan homes with lots of glass. Keeping glass clear by hand is a constant job.

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.

Perth dust, easterlies and fine sand on every pane

Perth summers bring dry easterlies that carry fine dust from inland, and the Fremantle Doctor drags sea air back across the city in the afternoon. Together they coat glass in a thin, gritty film.

Because that film is dry and abrasive, don't wipe it with a dry cloth. Let a light spray dampen it so the microfibre pads lift it rather than drag it.

Open-plan homes in Scarborough, Joondalup and Baldivis

Newer Perth homes have walls of glass facing the patio or pool, and many are single storey with large stacker doors. That's plenty of surface to keep clear.

Vitrela suits these big smooth panes well. With a 4 m cable, bring an extension lead if the nearest power point is a long way from the door.

Apartments in Perth CBD, Subiaco and Cottesloe

Perth's apartment blocks near the river and the coast have balconies with glass balustrades that take the full brunt of sea air and sun.

Strata companies often set rules for exterior work. Check yours, then tie the safety rope off indoors and avoid leaning out when you place the robot.

• Check strata rules for exterior cleaning
• Wipe loose sand off frames first
• Use only on smooth, non-frosted glass

Summer heat and the best time to clean

On a 40-degree day, glass gets hot enough to flash-dry any spray. Clean early in the morning, or later in the day when the sun has moved off that side of the house.

Westerly-facing windows are the toughest. Wait until they're in shade, or the streaks will show up the moment you finish.

Limestone dust and building sites

Perth's growth means plenty of building work, and limestone and sand dust travel far. If a new estate is going up near you, expect a fine pale coating on windows.

Rinse the pads often during these cleans. Compare the pad after one pass: if it's gritty, wash it before the next window.

Coastal cleans: Mandurah to Mindarie

Close to the ocean, salt adds to the dust. Do a second pass if the first leaves a hazy look, and wipe down the robot afterwards.

Store it somewhere dry between jobs. Salt and humidity are the enemies of any electronics.
