Do you hate cleaning windows? We don’t blame you. It really is quite a pane! Jokes aside, window cleaning is a big job for many businesses. If your company has high windows or multiple stories, you’ll need to hire professionals to take care of the job, which can be hard to find. So how often do you need to clean your windows, and what are the benefits of doing so?
How often should you clean your windows?
Deciding how often to clean your business’s windows depends on a few factors, like how many windows you have, what type of climate your business is located in, and how visible your windows are to the public. Here in Utah, our winters can be pretty harsh and get quite cold, so cleaning during the winter isn’t a good option. Instead, many businesses opt for spring and fall cleanings of their outdoor windows to remove the grime and filth before the temperature drops!
Indoor, interior and entryway windows should be regularly cleaned as part of your weekly or daily tasks. It’s easy for these windows to get dirty with fingerprints, dirt and grime throughout the day. These windows are highly visible to your customers, so you want to ensure that cleaning them is a high priority!
What are some of the benefits of window cleaning?
The most significant benefit of regularly cleaning your business’s windows is that it makes everything look better! The cleaner and neater your business looks inside and out, the better impression your customers will have of your company. But that’s not the only benefit. Here are a few more from a recent Fine Magazine article:
- Clean windows allow for more natural light. Dirt and grime that build up on windows reduce the amount of natural light that comes into your business. More natural light is better for our eyes and enhances your business’s ambience.
- Clean windows help your employees feel better. A surprising benefit of clean windows is that the extra natural light helps your employees feel better! Access to natural light, especially during the day, helps to boost our moods and help mitigate seasonal affective disorders and improve sleep-wake cycles.
- Clean windows last longer. Keeping your windows clean and professionally cared for helps them to last longer. For example, hard water spots will begin to damage a window pane over time, so they must be removed during cleaning. Professional window cleaning services have tools to ensure your windows last, and they can check for any potential window problems while they are working.
