How often should windows be cleaned?

Most residential homes benefit from a full exterior and interior cleaning twice a year. However, properties in high-pollen areas, coastal regions with salt air, or near busy roads may require quarterly maintenance.

Does rain ruin freshly cleaned windows?

No, pure rain itself does not make windows dirty. Rain spots occur when drops hit pre-existing dirt, dust, and pollen already on the glass and dry in place. If the glass is clean, rainwater usually runs off smoothly without leaving streaks.

What is usually included in a standard cleaning?

A base package covers washing the exterior glass using squeegees, scrubbers, or pure-water fed poles. Cleaning window screens, wiping down tracks, and scraping paint/hard-water spots often cost extra unless specified.

What should I do before the cleaners arrive?
  • Unlock outdoor gates and clear access to all windows.
  • Move interior furniture, plants, or fragile decor away from window sills.
  • Keep pets in a secure room.
Do window cleaners work in the rain?

Yes, light rain generally does not stop cleaning services. Rain droplets on clean glass dry spotless—it is dirt, pollen, and dust already on the window that causes water spots. However, severe weather, high winds, or lightning will require rescheduling for safety.
