Its a good idea to deep clean the windows aboutonce every six months.
Additionally, a light cleaning about once a month helps remove smudges, fingerprints, and streaks.
Insect Activity
Having insects near your home isnt ideal.
Typically, windows need to be cleaned more often when the weather is poor.
Proximity to Traffic
Cars send dust and dirt flying as they zoom past, creating small clouds of debris.
Hard Water
Some homes deal with the issue of hard water.
This issue can affect the cleaning frequency.
However, wooden window frames need to be cleaned more often to keep them free of debris.
This is because the pollutants in the air build up on the glass and window frame.
Consider switching your deep cleaning schedule to three times a year instead of just twice a year.
