How often do windows really need professional cleaning? The answer depends on several factors specific to your Nanaimo home and lifestyle preferences.
The General Recommendation
For most Nanaimo homes, twice a year — spring and fall — keeps windows looking great. This timing works well with Vancouver Island's seasonal cycles: cleaning in spring removes winter grime, while fall cleaning prepares for the wet season ahead.
Factors That Increase Cleaning Frequency
- Tree coverage: Sap, pollen, and debris accumulate faster under trees
- Coastal proximity: Salt spray creates hazy film that needs regular attention
- Construction nearby: Dust and debris from building sites coat windows quickly
- Busy roads: Traffic film builds up on street-facing windows
- Hard water irrigation: Sprinklers hitting windows leave mineral deposits
