How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Windows?

When renovating a home, you should use a damp sponge or cloth to clean dust collected on a window sill, as the dust may contain asbestos or lead-based paint. Home maintenance is an ongoing process for any homeowner, and here we see an African- American woman who’d taken a damp sponge to her window’s frame, in order to remove accumulated dust particulates. Note how the homeowner had donned a pair of waterproof gloves, a facemask, and a pair of goggles, prior to beginning this task.

Your windows will take their fair share of batterings throughout the year. While they keep protecting you from harsh weather elements, they do so by absorbing the snow, rain, hail, and more that occurs throughout the year. It’s advised that you regularly maintain your windows, whether they are regular blinds or are covered with mesh. 

But, how often should you deep clean your windows so it maintains a good shine while continuing to keep you safe from bad weather or from pests trying to enter your space, potentially leaving messes as they do so? Here’s a rule of thumb to deep clean your windows.

When is the best time to deep clean your windows?

It’s recommended that your windows and drapes are deep cleaned every three to six months to eliminate any grime or residue. For blinds and woodwork, wiping and dusting should take place every three months. So, when the winter has just concluded, and it looks like the worst of the weather has subsided, make window cleaning one of the first things you add to your spring cleaning list. 

You can use a hose to do the cleaning and/or wipe it down with cleaning materials, particularly natural cleaning materials, to get rid of the muck on your windows.
