One of the most common questions we receive from homeowners and property managers is how often should you clean your windows. The answer depends on your location, building type, and the surrounding environment. In Northern Utah, regular window cleaning is essential due to the region’s dust, pollen, hard water, and weather patterns.
Here is what we recommend based on our years of experience in Draper, Park City, Alpine, and surrounding areas.
Residential Homes
For most homes in Draper and surrounding cities, we recommend scheduling professional window cleaning twice per year. Spring and fall are ideal times to remove winter residue and prepare for the changing seasons.
Homes located near new construction sites, fields, or high-traffic roads may benefit from quarterly cleanings due to increased dust and debris buildup.
Luxury and Custom Homes
High-end properties with expansive glass, mountain views, or intricate window designs often require more frequent attention. These homes benefit from quarterly or even monthly cleaning, especially for exterior-facing glass that collects hard water spots, tree sap, or pollen.
Commercial Properties
Commercial buildings typically need monthly or bi-monthly window cleaning, especially if located in busy retail centers, near roads, or exposed to landscaping systems. Clean windows enhance curb appeal and create a professional first impression for your clients and tenants.
For storefronts, showrooms, and office buildings with heavy foot traffic, interior windows should also be cleaned at least every two months to remove fingerprints and smudges.
Post-Construction and Renovation
If your home or building recently underwent remodeling or construction, we recommend a deep window cleaning before you move in or resume operations. Dust, paint overspray, and adhesive residue often collect on the glass and frames during construction.
Factors That Affect Cleaning Frequency
- Proximity to sprinklers or irrigation systems
- Exposure to traffic, trees, or construction zones
- Seasonal weather including snow, rain, and wind
- Number of pets or children in the home
- HOA or building maintenance standards
