Post-Construction Window Cleaning Melbourne — Jasper Road, Bentleigh

The windows were still covered in factory transport film left on through the build. Once the film was peeled back, a layer of adhesive residue stayed bonded to the glass, and in places it had baked on under the sun, which makes it harden and grip tighter. Residue like this holds dust and leaves a hazy, streaked surface that normal washing will not shift, and scraping at it risks scratching the glass and marking the frames.

The transport film was removed first, then the remaining adhesive was worked off with several different glue-dissolving agents, matched to how stubborn each patch was. Softening the residue chemically before touching the glass means it lifts away instead of being dragged across the surface, which is what causes fine scratching. Each pane was then washed down and finished so the glass read clear, with frames and seals checked for leftover residue.
