AIBU to think external window cleaning makes little noticeable difference?

[JeansandJumpers]

Is there really any need for external windows to be cleaned? I didn’t have mine done for 8 years. Now I get them done monthly and can see zero difference.

Well, you need to clean them inside too

if you do you defo see a noticeable difference imo

It depends where you live. In some areas they get filthy. In other areas they don't.
Mine look disgusting if not cleaned regularly.

Have you cleaned them inside?

My front windows that are near the road definitely need it. Rear windows less so, but they still get dusty outside.

External: absolutely makes a difference.

Internal: we have dome windows that need frequent cleaning, some I do every couple of years

I totally see a difference in the number of spiders in my house... That is why I pay for it!

Exactly this. Ours need doing regularly due to where we live.

Makes zero difference here, but I do live in the middle of a trading estate and right opposite two recycling plants which both burn materials, one of which burns 24/7. 🤷‍♀️

Of course it makes a difference! You need to clean the inside too. Why are people not botherinf cleaning their windows is beyond me. Be house proud it helps with mental health

I love the difference in my big windows after I have cleaned them, inside & out. So for me, I can definitely tell when they are clean

Ok, thanks for responses. Perhaps because I live in a low pollution area with lots of rain, or maybe my aging eyesight, I’m just not seeing the difference!

Sometimes the rain isn't that clean, and I also live in a low pollution area, but I can tell when my windows have been cleaned. I also clean them inside as well (now and again)

I'm with you OP.

I have my windows and gutters done annually - thats plenty 😂

But a pigeon flew into one literally a week after I had them done so I have a bird imprint until next March.

@NoisyBuilder ah yes there is always a kamikaze bird print on those windows…you’ld think with our low standards they wouldn’t be so reflective the birds fly into them!

Monthly seems a lot to me, I do them each season, or if they’re particularly dirty

We regularly get bird shit on our windows, so I'm glad they are cleaned by a window cleaner.

Love getting windows done by window cleaner.

Every 2 months enough.

I lived in a house where I never once cleaned the windows until we sold (so 4 years!). My god the difference was incredible 😂

So in the new house we get them done every 6 weeks. It’s does make a big difference.
