Grime. Dust. Pollen. These are the 3 arch-nemeses of a clean window. If it weren’t for these 3 things, window washers might be out of a job. Nevertheless, we persist in helping you fight back against these elements that live to make your windows dirty. Many people wonder how often they should be having their windows cleaned, and this can vary depending on your circumstances. The answer can change depending on the location of a property and the weather conditions in that area. Another factor to consider is whether this property is for residential or commercial use. Businesses and residential properties have vastly different schedules that make sense for regular window cleaning.
Location
Depending on where a property is, windows will accumulate dust and grime at different paces. If your windows are near a road or in a busy city, they will get dirty more quickly due to extra dust and pollution. Contrast this with a property in a rural area, which may take twice the length of time to for its windows to get as dirty as the previous example. The location of your property plays a big part in how often your windows should be professionally cleaned.
Weather Conditions
Another major factor in how often your windows should be cleaned is what the weather conditions in your area are like. In a wet climate with frequent rain and storms, your windows could accumulate dirt and debris more quickly. The rain can get dirt on your windows, or splash on your window, leaving spots. In a dry climate, your window may be susceptible to more buildup of dust or sand. Heavy wind can cause dirt and dust to be blown onto your window, sticking to the glass until removed. Consider what the weather conditions in your area are like and how that may be having an impact on the accumulation of unwanted contaminants on your windows.
Residential vs Commercial
Whether you’re talking about a residential or a commercial property, windows should be cleaned regardless. However, the frequency of cleaning varies greatly between the two. A residential property can benefit from having its windows cleaned professionally semi-annually. Usually, a residential property should have its windows cleaned after spring (pollen buildup) and at the end of fall. This ensures that your home is regularly reaping the benefits of clean windows and helps you to keep grime and dust at bay. On the other hand, a commercial property should have its windows cleaned far more often. When working in retail or hospitality, you want to make sure that when people see your store, they can tell that you care. Allowing windows to get dirty and stay dirty is a bad first impression for a potential customer. Store owners should consider a monthly or semi-monthly cleaning to keep their storefronts clean and well-maintained, showing customers that they care.
If you are having trouble deciding what a regular window-cleaning schedule looks like for you, make sure to consider your location, weather conditions, and what you want the exterior of your property to look like. Many residential clients opt for a cleaning once or twice a year, while commercial clients want their windows cleaned at least monthly.
