How Often Should You Clean Your Windows In The UK Climate?
Most homes in Somerset gather dirt on their windows faster than people expect. Rain, road dust, pollen and coastal winds all leave marks and spotting. Regular cleaning keeps glass clear, protects frames and stops grime from building up.
What affects how quickly windows get dirty
- Location: Homes near main roads, schools or bus routes collect traffic film more quickly. Rural properties pick up soil and pollen, especially in spring and early summer.
- Weather: Repeated showers leave mineral deposits as the water dries. Long dry spells cause dust to stick to the glass.
- Surroundings: Large trees or hedges add sap, debris and insect marks. Properties facing open fields see more wind blown dirt.
How often most Somerset homes choose to clean
Every 5 weeks
This is the most common schedule for homes in Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Cheddar and nearby areas. It keeps glass looking clear all month with no visible build up.
Every 10 weeks
Suitable for homes that stay cleaner for longer or customers who prefer fewer visits. You may see some light spotting between cleans, especially in wetter months.
One off cleans
Ideal before selling a property, at the end of a tenancy, or when windows have been left for a long time and need a reset.
Why regular cleaning makes a difference
- More natural light enters through clear glass.
- Marks are removed before they stain sills or uPVC.
- Frames and seals stay in better condition for longer.
- Heavier scrubbing and restoration cleans are less likely to be needed.
How Window Genie keeps results consistent
