Window Cleaner

If you have one, how often does he visit?

Mine comes once every 3 months. A member of my family was shocked to hear this, her window cleaner comes once a week. I suspect most people would say somewhere in between. Maybe I will have mine done more often depending upon response.

YANBU - 4 times a year is well enough.

YABU - Once a week is more like it, mucky sod.

Ours is every other month and he charges £9 for a bog standard semi.
He uses that self drying water stuff and I can sometimes see water spots but not enough to consider doing it myself.

Every other month. 13 windows for £10.

Dreamskies · 25/07/2024 14:13

Twice a month and I find it too much. DP booked him, not my choice.

The frequency of our window cleaner visits varies with the weather, it can be once a month or sometimes every other month. I very rarely find the windows look like they need a clean so 4 times a year would probably suit me fine.

This thread reminded me I hadn't paid my window cleaner windows were cleaned Monday!

SallyWD · 25/07/2024 15:04

Every two months. Seems fine for us.

Mrsttcno1 · 25/07/2024 15:06

Every 4 weeks ish and costs £15, don’t think I could go much longer than that because by the time they come they do desperately need doing

pierrele · 25/07/2024 15:36

every 6 weeks in the summer months, every 4 weeks in the winter. £18 for 10 windows and patio doors.

Do you all have the inside windows cleaned too, or do them yourselves?

KreedKafer · 25/07/2024 15:42

Once a week?! Who needs their windows cleaning once a week? And how much is it costing them?

Our window cleaner comes every six weeks although I would be fine with less often to be honest.

Do window cleaners even offer that service?

They go streaky when I do the insides.

Mrsjayy · 25/07/2024 15:50

I wipe my front window of dog nose marks with soapy water and a splash of white vinegar doesn't streak.

Our old window cleaner used to visit every 2 weeks - and only charged £3.00 for 5 windows for years (I know!). He retired and it's taken us ages to find new window cleaners ('we' is myself and neighbours in our little close).

New window cleaners will visit every 4 weeks and it's £12 for windows and they also wash the front door. I'm on the 1st floor so it's difficult to clean the outside windows myself. They don't clean the inside panes - I do that.

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 25/07/2024 16:37

Total of 8 windows here inc little door ones. My chap comes every other month and costs £8. For the last few times though I’ve noticed lots of white spots. And he left bird poo. So I’m not that sure how thorough he is! I did email him as I delayed payment until he contacted me. He’s not got back to me yet.

OvO · 25/07/2024 16:43

Every two months here (£10). Every week is crazy!

Sparrowball · 25/07/2024 16:44

Every 2-3 months, there isn't a set schedule so whenever I think to book him. €30 for me.

I do my own windows once a year. Having said that, it all depends on where you live. We are in a very quiet area, back door facing footpath, front door facing some garages. No through roads in the immediate vicinity.
Previously, we lived on the coast with the beach at the end of our road. The windows were covered in sand and sea spray about 3 days after washing so we did have someone come once a fortnight.

Once a year????? 😱
