What to expect
Screen and Track Cleaning: what is involved.
Tracks are cleaned by loosening debris, vacuuming it out and wiping the track clean. Weep holes should be left clear so water can drain.
Screens are removed carefully, washed gently and dried before refitting. Rough scrubbing can stretch or tear mesh.
Ask whether screens and tracks are included in a window clean or priced separately. Providers often quote them as add-ons.

FAQ
Screen and Track Cleaning questions.
Are screen and track cleaning priced separately?
Often they are an add-on to window cleaning. Ask for them itemised so you can compare quotes.
Can tracks be cleaned without removing the window?
Usually yes. Providers vacuum and wipe the track in place, and some windows can be lifted out for a deeper clean.
How often should screens be cleaned?
Once a year is common for homes. Screens near trees or construction may need more. Ask the provider for their view.
Can damaged screens be repaired?
Some providers re-mesh screens, others don't. Ask before booking if your screens are torn.
