How often?To begin, I asked Stephanie Lewis, customer experience manager at The Maids cleaning service, how often windows should be cleaned. “It’s really up to homeowners themselves,” she says. “Some people like to clean their windows every week on their own, and others are OK with having a professional come in and clean their windows inside and out, from top to bottom, twice a year. It’s one of those things that can fall into spring and autumn cleaning.”Will Dorn, president of Prime Time Window Cleaning Inc, says most of his customers opt for cleaning two or three times each year. “Definitely in the spring after the long winter, and then in summer or late autumn before the holidays,” Dorn says.Tip Lewis suggests avoiding cleaning windows on a hot, sunny day. “Everything dries so much faster, and it’s going to streak,” she says. “So we recommend doing it on a cloudy day.”First things firstTo get started, Dorn says, it’s important to clear the window area of trinkets, knick-knacks and any furniture that may get in the way of cleaning. “One of the big things about cleaning windows is really protecting your floors and the inside of your walls,” Lewis says. “You want to make sure you lay down a sheet or drop cloth to protect your carpet or flooring from getting wet and damaged.”
