PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you clean the outside of your windows?
Wash your windows at least four times a year, so every 3 months. On a busy road or under trees, do it more often.
On the outside, rain, dust, pollen and exhaust fumes stick to the glass. The longer you wait, the harder it is to remove. The inside needs cleaning more often; see the page on cleaning windows inside.
- Choose a cloudy, dry day so the glass does not dry too quickly
- First brush loose dirt and cobwebs off the frame and glass
- Wash with lukewarm water and a dash of glass cleaner
- Squeegee the glass dry and finish the edges with a chamois
