When it comes to window cleaning, timing is everything. Choosing the right moment can be the difference between sparkling glass and streaks. Here’s a friendly, easy-to-follow guide on how to clean your windows for optimal clarity.

What Factors Matter When Choosing the Right Time?

1. Weather Conditions
A gentle, cloudy day without strong winds is ideal. Strong sunlight can dry your cleaning solution too quickly, leaving streaks, and rain can re-dirty your windows.

2. Sunlight Exposure
Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the cleaning solution to dry too fast, resulting in streaks. Clean windows when they’re shaded for the best results.

3. Temperature Considerations
Pick a mild day between 10-20°C. Extreme cold can freeze water on windows, while high heat can cause quick drying and streaks.

Why Consider Professional Window Cleaners?

1. Professional Expertise
Experienced window cleaners use the right techniques for a streak-free finish and know how to handle different glass types safely.

2. Advanced Equipment
 Professionals have access to high-quality equipment and cleaning solutions, ensuring better results.

3. Save Time and Effort
Hiring a professional means you can focus on other tasks while your windows get a thorough clean.

How to Tackle Stains on Glass Surfaces
For stubborn stains like hard water marks or bird droppings:

  • Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts vinegar and water, spray it on, and wipe with a microfibre cloth.
  • Baking Soda for Tough Marks: Sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth and gently rub the spot.
  • Be Gentle: Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent scratching.

Create an Annual Window Cleaning Plan

1. Spring Deep Clean
Clear away winter grime with a thorough clean in spring, when the days get longer.

2. Summer Maintenance Wipe-Downs
Light maintenance every few weeks during summer keeps dust and pollen at bay.

3. Autumn Pre-Winter Cleaning
Clean windows thoroughly in autumn to prevent build-up before winter.

Keep Window Frames and Sills in Mind

1. Wipe Down Frames
Use mild soap and a soft cloth to clean window frames, preventing discolouration.

2. Don’t Forget Sills
Regularly wipe down sills to avoid dirt and moisture damage.

Should You Have the Gutters Cleaned at the Same Time?
Yes. Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow and streak down your windows. Scheduling both tasks together keeps your exterior looking sharp and helps prevent water damage.

Timing is Key to a Streak-Free Shine
Choosing the right time for window cleaning can make a big difference. By picking the right weather and using proper techniques, you’ll enjoy clear, streak-free windows all year.
 

FAQs About the Best Time to Clean Your Windows

Can I clean windows during winter?
Yes, but choose a mild winter day to avoid water freezing on the glass.

How often should I hire professional window cleaners?
Twice a year is a good standard if you have difficult-to-reach windows or prefer a spotless finish.

What’s the best solution for cleaning windows?
A mix of water and white vinegar works well. Add mild dish soap for stubborn spots.
