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

Every 6 weeks by our window cleaner of 23 years (shamedly the insides very rarely)

£70, they do every outside door (9 sets of double French doors!) 12 large full wall length windows, 2 glass conservatories (each is about 5mx10m at least!) and a dog room off the utility room which is a mini conservatory so glass walls..and they do all the frames and sills too…I’ve had the same company for 12yrs..

They take a couple of hours with poles so I dread to think how long it’ll take by hand!

It would still be alot cheaper believe me as the equipment is expensive to buy and then there's the running costs of the van , water treatments etc and they do an utterly shit job so not even worth it . How much do they charge for your house out of interest ?

I grew up in Scotland and window cleaners were standard. People took pride in their houses. I live in England now on a new estate and most people on here get their windows cleaned.

50’s semi, lived here 10yrs, never had a window cleaner and probably only clean windows once a year if that, never done the upstairs ones!! Might be because we live on a cul de sac so less dirt from passing traffic, but generally don’t notice them ever needing doing!

recently been discussing it in my house as had a knock on door from a company wanting to do a payment plan for every 4-6 weeks and I couldn’t believe people pay so much (£40) as extra expense so regularly!

Late 30’s, 2 kids, semi detached 3 bed house. Lived here 4 years. Never had the windows cleaned 🫠

3 bed semi, kids, animals etc. we’ve been here for 6 years and never done it. They are a bit grubby but everyone’s still alive.

I may just be gross but we've lived here six years and I've never had the upstairs windows cleaned. On a rare occasion when I'm feeling especially domesticated, I might do downstairs myself with one of those little karcher vac things. They look fine to me, idc lol

Mine are done monthly... at least on the outside.

Monthly, and they also do our patio sliders inside too.

Not sure how much cheaper it would be as much of it is quite hard to access. Even with the poles, it’s takes a couple of hours! It’s a rather large 5 bed/5 bath house with 5 receptions and two large conservatories…glass double doors alone leading out of the house totals 9! That’s on top of large windows in every room…I have to get a roofer/gutter company in every six months to clean the parts where the house meets the conservatories as it’s very hard to reach and they have to shimmy on their bellies along the house so as not to step on conservatory roofs!

Every month. I think every other month would be enough but the price seems to be a third of other local rounds so don’t want to fall off the list. This thread has just woken a memory of being in my childhood home in the early 80s onwards and the windows being done weekly!

A traditional window cleaner would be cheaper alot are moving to using the poles you've described and customers are jumping ship (my partner gets new customers weekly due to this ) because of the cost and they don't actually clean the windows that well it leaves them with streaks plus sills and frames aren't cleaned like a traditional cleaner would do

2 bed semi here. Never paid anyone to clean my windows. We do them ourselves!! No one in our cul de sac has them done.

My partners a window cleaner and it takes 6 weeks to do the round so every 6 weeks windows are cleaned , he does our home ones monthly aswell

We haves ours done every 3 months, just the outsides with the special water (can’t remember what they call it!) on board a large van. It’s quite costly to do as it’s a rather big house with lots of glass doors, windows, two large conservatories etc so we manage with it every few months and that’s worked fine for us..the last two owners had it done monthly but I didn’t feel it warranted doing that regularly as never got that noticeably dirty. We’d rather spend the money on having the gardeners in each week to trim, weed, blow leaves in autumn, cut lawn etc as I find the garden is more noticeable if not tendered to.

Ours is every 6 weeks, he does a bunch of houses on the road so yeah from my perspective it’s what most people do.
Worth noting we all have full length windows and partial glass roof on the living room, so it’s really necessary.

Our is monthly but that’s just what the cleaner round here offers

We are far from clean freaks but windows are cleaned every week. I’d have said that was usual to be honest. Whole house is cleaned once a week

We have a window cleaner but I’ve just realised I’ve no idea how often he comes . I’m off to check.

Lates 50s, live in a three bed semi. No window cleaner and I do the inside every few years.

Never paid to have windows cleaned

What are you doing in your house that necessitates cleaning your windows once a week?

Smoking?

Animals?

Food fights?

Mine get done every 3/4 weeks. It supposed to be every 3 weeks weather dependant.

The cleaner does a great job on the outside. I clean the insides when I notice they need doing. I think I've done a good job, then the sun comes out and shows up all the streaks...
