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

Disagreement in our house today. Do ‘most people’ (which after some discussion was pinned down to people in 30s/40s in eg 3 bed semi with a kid or two 😅) have their windows cleaned every 6-8 weeks?

YABU - of course they do
YANBU - definitely not ‘most’

We have this debate, we dropped ours down to every two months but apparently other people get theirs done monthly!

Meadowfinch · 08/09/2025 18:07

I've never paid for my windows to be cleaned. I do it on Sunday mornings, about every 3 months.

Beamur · 08/09/2025 18:07

Mine get done once a month, seems normal to me.

DelphiniumBlue · 08/09/2025 18:07

Ours are done every 6-8 weeks, in the front of the house. The back windows are done hardly ever, maybe once a year.

Flossflower · 08/09/2025 18:07

My window cleaner comes about every 6 weeks.

5birdsonroof · 08/09/2025 18:08

Every 6 weeks here too, with our regular window cleaner.

AintNoPunshineWhenShesGone · 08/09/2025 18:08

Our window cleaner comes every 3 weeks.

I try to do the inside on the same day but I'm a lazy fucker, so they get done probably more like every 5 or 6.

RedRiverShore5 · 08/09/2025 18:08

DH does ours so we are lucky if it's twice a year

I like this approach! 😁

Mine used to get done once every 4 weeks but it’s gone to once every 5 recently because our window cleaner is so busy.

AudiobookListener · 08/09/2025 18:08

I've had mine done twice in 23 years. Needless to say they are filthy. We are surviving.

Edit to add: the insides do get done maybe twice a year.

Didntask · 08/09/2025 18:08

We get ours done every 6-8 weeks

Snowdroppel · 08/09/2025 18:09

About 6 weekly. Don't think our cleaner really offers you a choice!

Anonymous23456 · 08/09/2025 18:10

We do ours 4 times a year.

Letstheriveranswer · 08/09/2025 18:10

Every 10 weeks to save money, but every 8 weeks would be better.

Minnie798 · 08/09/2025 18:10

Our window cleaner also comes every 3 weeks.

Me too

NuovaPilbeam · 08/09/2025 18:10

I've never paid a window cleaner in my life!

Valmaine · 08/09/2025 18:11

Twice a month, for the last 16 years! It literally never occurred to me to ask to do them less than that! This thread is a bloody revelation!

Thunderdcc · 08/09/2025 18:11

It is a mystery to me how our window cleaners decide where they are going. I think in theory it is 6-8 weeks in practice it is totally random.

CanOfMangoTango · 08/09/2025 18:11

Ours get done about every 6-8 weeks. My window cleaner sets the schedule i get no input!

Inevitably it rains the next day.

catsand · 08/09/2025 18:12

I’ve lived in my current house for 3 years and never had the windows cleaned. They look fine to me!

This is the relatable content I’m here for! Anyone else just not have a window cleaner…?

Mine haven’t been washed for about 10 years, and they look no different than anyone else’s.

TeenLifeMum · 08/09/2025 18:13

Every 8 weeks - early 40s, 3dc and 4 bed property.
