How Often Should I Get My Windows Cleaned?

One of the most common questions homeowners ask is:

“How often should I get my windows cleaned?”

The answer depends on where you live, nearby trees, pollution levels and the type of property you have. In busy West London areas such as Greenford, Ealing, Ruislip, Hanwell, Northolt and Pinner, windows get dirty much faster than the UK average. This guide explains the ideal cleaning schedule so your home stays bright, clean and welcoming all year round.

🟦  Why Window Cleaning Frequency Matters

Clean windows:

• Let more natural light into your home
• Improve your mood and energy levels
• Protect glass from long-term staining
• Make your home look tidy and well-kept
• Reduce mould spores and condensation

Dirty windows block up to 40% of natural light, affecting both your home’s appearance and indoor air quality.

🟩 Recommended Cleaning Frequency for West London Homes

Because of West London’s weather patterns and traffic pollution, here’s the ideal schedule:

✔ Every 2–3 months — Most homes in Greenford, Ealing & Hanwell

This keeps dirt, dust and watermarks from building up while maintaining a bright interior.

✔ Every 1–2 Months — Homes on main roads or high-pollution areas

Properties in places like Ealing Broadway, Greenford Road or Ruislip High Street get dirty much faster.

✔ Every 2 months — Homes in quieter areas like Pinner & Ickenham

Less traffic = slower dirt buildup, making bi-monthly cleans ideal.

✔ Every 1 month — Windows near trees or wildlife

Tree sap, pollen and bird mess make glass dirty quickly.

🟧 Factors That Make Windows Dirtier Faster

Homes in Greenford, Hanwell, Ruislip and Pinner often need more frequent cleaning due to:

• Traffic pollution
• Train and bus routes
• Tree pollen and sap
• Heavy rainfall
• Hard water marks
• Garden debris
• Building style (bay windows collect more dirt)

Even the direction your windows face matters — south-facing windows attract the most dust.

🟫 Signs Your Windows Need Cleaning Sooner

You should book a clean if you notice:

• Smears or streaks that won’t go away
• Rooms feeling darker or dull
• Condensation building up
• White marks (limescale) on the glass
• Cobwebs, pollen or dust around frames
• Mould starting on window sills

If you live in Northolt, Perivale or Ruislip, these signs often appear within just a few weeks.
