The Best Times of Year to Schedule Window Cleaning

Most homeowners and business owners know the difference clean windows can make. But when’s the right time to schedule a window cleaning service?

At Joe’s Window Cleaning LLC, we’ve helped thousands of clients stay on top of their window maintenance with seasonal cleanings that match the weather, pollen levels, and environmental wear-and-tear. The truth is, the timing of your window cleaning matters, and getting into a seasonal rhythm can make your life a whole lot easier.

Here’s how to plan your cleanings for the best results year-round.

Spring: The Must-Do Clean

Spring is hands-down the most popular time to schedule window cleaning. After months of winter grime, rain, and dust, your windows are likely due for a serious refresh.

Why it’s essential:

• Removes winter buildup (salt, dirt, residue)
• Clears away pollen for allergy relief
• Boosts natural light after darker months
• Makes your home or storefront sparkle for the season

If you only clean once a year, spring is the time to do it.

Summer: Maintenance and Visibility

Summer brings plenty of sunshine—but also pollen, insects, and dust. If you’ve got kids home from school or you’re hosting guests, clean windows make your home feel brighter and more welcoming.

Consider a mid-summer cleaning if:

• Your spring clean was early and pollen has built up again
• You’ve had storms or high wind
• You’re prepping for a summer event or sale
• You want clearer views for vacation or patio season

Fall: Prep for Winter

Fall is another ideal time to book a window cleaning—especially when combined with gutter cleaning or pressure washing. Cleaning now prevents long-term damage from snow, moisture, and falling leaves.

What fall window cleaning does:

• Removes lingering debris before freezing temps hit
• Prevents mold from moisture trapped in window tracks
• Pairs well with exterior prep like gutter cleanings
• Keeps your home feeling clean and cozy inside and out

Winter: Interior Focus & Storm Prep

While exterior cleaning may be limited by weather, interior window cleaning is still important—especially if you’re spending more time indoors or hosting for the holidays.

If weather allows, we also recommend storm-prep cleanings for windows exposed to ice and debris, to protect seals and frames.

Pro Tip: Set a Recurring Schedule

If you want spotless windows year-round, the best plan is to schedule twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall. This keeps buildup at bay and avoids long-term etching or damage to the glass.

At Joe’s Window Cleaning LLC, we offer recurring service options so you don’t even have to remember to call—we’ll remind you when it’s time.
