What You Should Know About Window Cleaning

Understanding frequency, techniques, and when to call professionals.

Window Cleaning Basics

Clean windows improve curb appeal, let in more natural light, and help you spot potential problems like seal failures or frame damage. Here's what you should know about keeping your windows clean.

Important Things to Know

💧 How Often to Clean

Residential: Most homes benefit from professional cleaning 2-4 times per year. Dusty desert conditions may require more frequent cleaning. Commercial: Storefronts typically need monthly or bi-weekly service to maintain appearance.

🏠 Inside vs. Outside

Exterior windows collect dust, pollen, and hard water spots much faster than interiors. You may need exterior cleaning more frequently than interior. Interior windows mainly need cleaning for fingerprints and dust.

🪟 Screens Matter

Dirty screens block airflow and cast shadows on clean windows. We recommend screen cleaning at least once a year, typically in spring before you open windows for fresh air.

💦 Hard Water Spots

Phoenix tap water leaves mineral deposits on windows from sprinklers or rain runoff. These require specialized treatment—regular cleaning won't remove them once they've etched the glass.

⚠️ Safety Concerns

Second-story windows and hard-to-reach areas are dangerous to clean yourself. Professional window cleaners have proper equipment, insurance, and training to work safely at heights.

☀️ Best Time to Clean

Avoid cleaning in direct hot sun—cleaning solution dries too fast and leaves streaks. Overcast days or early morning work best. In Phoenix, fall and winter provide ideal cleaning conditions.
