How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?

Windows are your connection to the outside world, letting in light and views. But when they are dirty, they can make an entire building look neglected. One of the most common questions we get is: "How often should I clean my windows?" The answer depends on your location, the type of building, and environmental factors.

For most residential homes, a deep cleaning twice a year (spring and autumn) is sufficient to maintain clarity and prevent buildup. However, for businesses, the schedule needs to be much more frequent.

Factors Influencing Frequency

Location: If you are near a busy road (exhaust fumes) or the coast (salt spray), you will need more frequent cleaning.

Business Image: For retail stores and restaurants, glass is part of your display. Dirty windows can turn customers away. We recommend monthly or even bi-weekly cleaning for high-traffic frontages.

Why Professional Cleaning Lasts Longer

DIY cleaning often uses tap water and paper towels, which can leave static that actually attracts dust. Professionals use purified water and squeegees that leave no residue.

Regular cleaning also protects the glass. Over time, pollutants can etch into the glass surface, leading to permanent damage known as "hard water staining." Regular removal of these deposits extends the life of your windows.
