How Often Should You Get Your Windows Cleaned in Christchurch?

Keeping your windows clean does more than make your home or business look great, it also protects your glass, boosts curb appeal, and lets more natural light in. But how often should you actually get your windows cleaned?

If you live in Christchurch or the surrounding areas like Selwyn or Rangiora here’s what you need to know.

Why Regular Window Cleaning Matters

Here in Canterbury, our changing weather patterns, coastal winds, and urban dust all play a part in how dirty your windows get. Over time, buildup from:

• Salt spray
• Pollen
• Bird droppings
• Traffic grime
• Easterly/southerly winds

...can leave your windows looking tired and reduce the lifespan of your glass. Regular cleaning removes these before they cause long-term damage.

How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here’s a good guide based on the type of property:

🏠 Residential Homes

• Every 2–4 months for a fresh look and longer-lasting glass
• Every 4-6 months if you’re in a low-dust, sheltered area

The bonus of regular cleaning is it also keeps your frames and sills in good condition!

🏢 Commercial Properties

• Monthly is ideal for shop fronts or street-facing businesses
• As these places see more fingerprints and foot traffic they get dirty quick
• Clean windows show customers you care 

Signs It’s Time for a Window Clean!

• Dust, dirt and spots are visible
• Less natural light is coming through
• You’re preparing for guests or a property sale
• Your view just doesn’t “sparkle” anymore
