How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?

There is no single right answer for how often to clean your windows, but a good rule of thumb keeps your glass clear without overspending.

A simple schedule

For most Canberra homes, twice a year is the sweet spot. A clean in spring clears away winter grime and pollen, and a clean in autumn deals with the dust of summer.

Commercial properties usually need more frequent service, often monthly or fortnightly, because a clean shopfront or office directly affects how customers see the business.

When you might need it more often

• • Homes near busy roads, which collect more dust and road film
• • Properties surrounded by trees, which drop pollen, sap, and leaf litter
• • Homes near building sites, where fine dust settles on glass
• • Anywhere with sprinklers that hit the windows and leave hard water marks

Why regular cleaning matters

Beyond looking good, regular window cleaning protects the glass. Built up grime and hard water can slowly etch and stain windows, which is far more expensive to fix than a routine clean. Keeping a regular schedule is the cheapest way to protect your windows long term.
