How Often Do You Need Window Washing Services?

At Shack Shine, we’re all about helping your home look its best – and sparkling windows are a big part of that. Clean windows not only make your house look amazing from the outside, but also let in tons of natural light, brightening every room and giving your space that happy feeling. But how often should you book professional window cleaning? We’re here to help you determine the best schedule for your home’s needs.

When deciding how often you should schedule window cleaning, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Personal Preference: Hey, we’re all different, and some people just love the look of crystal-clear windows all year round. If you’re someone who enjoys bright, sunny views and lots of natural light, you might want to get your windows cleaned every 2-3 months to keep them looking flawless.
  • Location: If you live in a busy urban area or near a highway, your windows might pick up more dirt and grime from pollution and car exhaust. Homes near the coast? Saltwater can leave a residue that calls for more frequent cleanings. And if your house is surrounded by trees, you may notice more pollen, sap, or even bird droppings on your windows.
  • Weather Conditions: The weather plays a big role in how quickly your windows get dirty. If you’re in an area with lots of rain, snow, or wind, you might need to clean your windows more often because water spots, dust, and debris can build up fast. In these climates, scheduling cleanings more regularly helps keep your home looking its best.

At Shack Shine, we suggest scheduling professional window cleaning at least twice a year for most homes, and every 3 to 4 months for homes in a busy city or somewhere with more extreme weather conditions. This helps keep your windows sparkling without letting buildup become a problem. Keep in mind that you’ll want to ensure you do the interior of your windows about every second visit too or else your windows won’t shine through.

  • Better Results – Sure, you could clean your windows yourself, but there are a few great reasons to let the pros handle it! Our trusted and professional window cleaning technicians come equipped with the right tools to safely and effectively clean windows at any height, including those hard-to-reach spots. Plus, they know how to get those streak-free results that can be tricky to achieve with DIY efforts.
  • Time Savings – We also believe your time is precious, which is why we take care of your window cleaning so you can focus on doing what you love. Instead of spending your Saturday with a bucket of water and a squeegee, let Shack Shine handle the dirty work. We’ll come in, get the job done, and can even take care of other tasks while we’re there.
  • Safety – Climbing up on a ladder is not for everyone. Our team members are well-trained and have extra long ladders and water fed poles to make safety a top priority.
  • Natural (UV) Light – The more clean you can get your windows, the more light you’ll get in your home – and studies have shown a positive correlation between sunlight and productivity, sleep quality, and overall wellbeing (National Institute of Health).  Believe it or not, all that extra sunlight streaming in can also help warm up your home naturally, which might even save you a little on heating costs.

Extends the Lifespan of Your Windows

Clean windows do wonders for your home! Regular residential window cleaning not only boosts curb appeal and fills your rooms with natural light, but also extends the life of your windows, by protecting them from things like hard water stains or dirt buildup that can wear them down over time. Some debris can even cause etching and degrading to the glass or trims; given the price of replacement, it can be more economical to take care of the windows you have.
