How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?
There’s nothing like a clear, sunny day in Washington—until your windows turn that golden light into a smudged, streaky mess. Dirty windows don’t just block your view—they make your whole home feel dim, dusty, and a little forgotten.
At Wonderboy Window Cleaning, we believe clean windows aren’t just about appearances—they’re about pride in your space, the feel of your home, and the way natural light changes your mood.
So how often should you clean your windows? Let’s break it down.
What Impacts How Often You Should Clean?
There’s no universal answer, but these factors can help guide your window cleaning routine:
🌧️ Weather & Environment
Living in the Pacific Northwest means dealing with rain, wind, pollen, and dust. Homes near trees, roads, or ongoing construction will collect grime faster—especially on lower-level windows.
🐾 Kids & Pets
Fingerprints, nose prints, and accidental splashes build up quickly—especially in high-traffic areas like living rooms, kitchens, or sliding glass doors.
🏠 Type of Windows
Older wood-framed windows or single-pane glass often need more frequent attention to prevent long-term damage from moisture, dirt, or mildew.
🌬️ Air Quality & Allergens
Dust, pollen, and pollution can settle on your glass, your sills, and your screens—impacting the air you breathe inside your home.
So, What’s the Ideal Window Cleaning Schedule?
Here’s what we recommend for most homes in Snohomish County and surrounding areas:
Exterior windows: 3x per year (Spring, Summer, and Fall)
Interior windows: 2x per year, or more if you have little hands or paws pressing up against the glass
Screens & tracks: Annually, at minimum—dust and pollen love to collect here
Post-storm or heavy pollen season: Consider a touch-up to restore clarity
Wonderboy also offers routine service plans, so your home stays shining without you needing to remember when it’s time. We’ll handle the schedule—you just enjoy the view.
Warning Signs Your Windows Need Attention
You don’t have to guess—your windows will let you know when it’s time:
A noticeable drop in natural light
Visible streaks, water spots, or grime
Dust or allergens circulating through open windows
You’re prepping your home for guests, events, or listing
Why Regular Window Cleaning Matters
You’re not just wiping away dirt—you’re protecting your home:
Prevent permanent damage: Mineral deposits and hard water stains can etch glass over time.
Boost curb appeal: Sparkling windows make your home look well-kept and welcoming.
Protect your investment: Clean tracks and screens extend the life of your windows.
Enjoy more daylight: Natural light makes your space feel bigger, brighter, and better.
