How Often Should I Get My Windows Cleaned?

How often do you clean your windows? Very often the answer is maybe not very often or never. Sometimes the reason for this is that without the right equipment window cleaning can be difficult. Hard to reach windows can cause safety issues if not approached with care.

It is important to have clean windows, they bring much-needed sunlight into our homes and can completely transform a room. If you live in a city you should probably consider getting your windows cleaned more often.

Grime can stick to windows (especially the rubber seals!) and begin to grow mould.

Likewise, if you live in a forested area there will be pollen build-up. You can avoid this build-up easily by cleaning your windows once a month.

So, How Often Should I Get My Home Windows Professionally Cleaned?

Answer – As often as you like! Excessive window cleaning isn’t going to make your house fall down, so really you can set up your window cleaning services as often as you like. There are some major benefits to having your windows cleaned at least semi-regularly.

How often will work for me?

How often you clean your windows (or get them cleaned) will be dependant on how much spare time you have or how much you want to spend to get someone else to do it. Weather conditions as well as your location will also play a part. If you live in urban areas or next to a construction site or cement works, you’ll notice a build up of dirt and dust far more quickly than if you were living in a sleepy village.

When you take all these considerations into account you should be able to decide which is the best option for you. 

Once A Week:

If you have the time, or the money, cleaning your windows once a week will ensure that your windows are always spotless. But how many people have either the time or the money to do this? We would suggest this may be a bit overkill. A properly cleaned window using the right products should stand up to environmental conditions for several weeks.

Once A Month:

This option is probably the most preferred option when you take into account how much time it takes to clean your windows.  This level of frequency is popular when employing a window cleaner also. A once a month visit from a professional will ensure that you keep your windows looking great.

Once Every Three Months:

If your windows are cleaned every three months it helps prolong the lifespan of your windows. After each clean you’ll probably begin to notice dirt and grime again around week 5-6, depending on your location.

The amount and type of pollution in your area will obviously affect how long your windows remain looking squeaky clean. Although we would advise a clean a little more often than every three months, if your windows aren’t affected by dust and grime build up for long periods this may well be an adequate timescale.

When it comes to shops, offices and premises in city centres, where appearance is important for your brand, this would probably not be frequent enough to keep on top of your overall cleanliness.

Once Every Six Months:

If you live in a low pollution area and are only looking to help maintain your windows, you may be able to leave your windows uncleaned for a prolonged period of time.

If appearances aren’t near the top of your list of reasons for getting your windows cleaned, or you simply don’t have the time or budget, you can get away with a twice yearly clean.

You’ll be safe knowing that seasonal damage is wiped away, and you’ll get a bi-annual check-up on your windows. Some of the larger contracts we undertake, where there are huge number of windows on the premises, often plump for a clean twice a year, purely from a logistical and cost basis.

Ad-Hoc:

If you only need a one-time window clean or are getting them cleaned for an event this is an option for you. Although most professional window cleaners work on a scheduled basis, they can be available for one-off cleaning visits. You should bear in mind though that these companies are often very booked up and an element of foresight will be needed to ensure you get your windows cleaned in time. 

Vision Property Services are a leading Domestic and Commercial Window Cleaning Company based in Reading and offer a range of contracts for getting your windows cleaned. We operate across Berkshire and for larger commercial contracts also cover the Home Counties and the South East of England.
