To think ‘most people’ don’t get their windows cleaned this often?

likewise. i am a clean person and everything else in the house is cleaned very regularly, windows is just something that isn’t on my radar. not sure why, ive just never really thought about cleaning them.
i must just be a slattern…

Our front windows get cleaned once a month. I clean our back windows, but less frequently - about every 3 months. Our sitting room at the back has patio doors, no blinds, and the kitchen has a glass door and I don't like to see the doors dusty and dirty when the sun shines through in the morning.

When we were younger we were far too busy rushing here and there - work, children, parents, etc. to worry about cleaning windows.

Husbands a window cleaner and he has half his customers wanting him once a month and the other half every other month. He charges first clean prices for anything less regular than that as they get filthy. I’m one of the lucky window cleaner wives who gets their windows cleaned once a month too! Couldn’t stand looking out dirty windows

Lived in my house for 20 years, I do the insides once a fortnight. The outside downstairs once once a year for spring clean. Can't reach the top ones so they never get done.
I did get a window cleaner in once to clean them all after we had the gutters and soffits replaced but that's about it.

Once a year I think I should get one of those extendable poles for the upstairs windows then I forget as I am slovenly 😀

I’ve been in my house 20 years, never had them cleaned. They’re surprisingly clean considering! I do the inside once a year maybe.

Just thinking though - I've never seen a window cleaner round where we live, or any adverts. I wouldn't no where to find one. I'm guessing everyone round here does it themselves or just doesn't do it. My parents live on a nice estate and have them cleaned regularly, but they also have a gardener and a cleaner regularly

My window cleaner hasnt come since June so this thread is spurring me on to getting a new one.

do I have to “fire” the old window cleaner?! How does it work 🤣🤣

I've lived here 19 years, I clean the outside downstairs myself every couple of months, never had the upstairs done. I run a first floor shop separately, that's done every 6 months by a window cleaners as it doesn't seem to get as much grime as the ground floor shop windows.

When we had a new build it was weekly by me. Now we are in an older house with large windows and I think our window cleaner died about 15 years ago. I did clean the patio doors when i was looking after my DGD because her hands were all over them but she has been at school now for three years.

Wanted to see this type of reply as well. Have lived in current house for 9 years, and had them done once, mainly because there was some really annoying bird poo across the bedroom windows.

Would probably get them done every six months or so (really not convinced they look any different to other peoples who get them done more often), but window cleaners don’t seem interested in that, just want the every month customers etc, which I just can’t justify.

I think they come once a month for 9 or 10 months a year he told me he skis for a couple of months in the winter. I assume my neighbours window cleaners come at rhe same interval.
The place looks niceer with it done.
40s, 4 bed house, £12 a pop.

Absolutely not. I've no idea how often - my husband may wash them occasionally, but we've never had a window cleaner. And they look fine, to be honest.

40’s, average 4 bed new build and like most of our estate they are cleaned monthly.

Everyone round here has them done monthly. Mostly families with kids in average houses.

We just do our own windows… why would I pay someone when I can reach it myself 😂

Tbf it’s barely been done since we had DD (10mo)!

Been in my house 15 years and cleaned the downstairs ones myself. Upstairs never been done. It does not matter in the scheme of things.

Nope, I don’t have one. I’ve had my house for about 2.5 years and had one ad hoc clean at the front after my house was painted. They’re absolutely fine.

We have ours done as often as he turns up to do them, I think it’s monthly but I could be wrong! 🤣

Never get mine done......and insides get cleaned probably 4 times a year. Our house looks no different to anyone else's! I am a bit of cleaning slacker though so my standards aren't that high!

Same. Our window cleaner comes every fortnight and I do the inside weekly. I honestly thought that was the norm.

Every 4 weeks....I used to be a window cleaner and most of our customers were every 2 weeks..

Twice a year and they do the ledges and shutters too. We have many windows in a small flat. It is expensive though. They wear booties in the house

Same x 2 😂

Used to be six weekly, then the windowcleaner didn't come back after Covid. It really made a difference to have clean windows and frames (plus he'd do guttering and the bins if he felt like it needed it - for free).

Only realised recently that the reason he didn't come back was because DP cancelled him on the grounds that he'd do the windows himself and has been consistently binning leaflets and cards coming through from others. It's been five years and I think he's done half of them about six times.

Reckon I know what he's doing this weekend now. And every month until he stops being such a stinge about my money.

Ours do but we have a window cleaner. I’d never get around to it otherwise. Insides get done very rarely 😬
