Keeping your windows clean is important not only for maintaining curb appeal but also for preserving the integrity and longevity of your property. Our team at Clear View Softwashing uses the soft wash method when it comes to window cleaning, which is one of the most successful and gentle ways to clean external windows. It uses low-pressure water and specific cleaning chemicals to remove grime, algae, mold, and other contaminants without damaging the glass or surrounding materials. But how frequently should you schedule window cleaning?

It’s a good idea to schedule exterior window cleaning twice a year—ideally in the spring and fall. These seasons correspond to the toughest circumstances your windows face: winter dirt and pollen in the spring, and dust and debris from summer storms in the fall. Cleaning during these periods ensures your windows remain clear, functional, and damage-free year-round.

While twice-a-year cleaning will work for many homeowners, it’s important to understand there may be underlying factors that call for quarterly window cleaning, such as the following:

- Location: Homes near the beach or in crowded locations may accumulate dirt and grime more quickly due to salt spray or pollution.
- Surrounding Environment: If your home is near a large number of trees, your windows might need to be cleaned more frequently.
- Weather Patterns: Depending on the weather and the residue it leaves behind, windows might get dirtier more quickly, which could prompt you to schedule window cleaning more often.
