at 1/5/26

In Southern California, windows get dirty fast—dust, traffic pollution, coastal air, sprinklers, and hard water spots build up before you notice.

Clean windows change how your property feels immediately: brighter, cleaner, better maintained.

Why Windows Get Dirty Faster in SoCal

SoCal conditions speed up buildup:

  • Dust and dry wind

  • Traffic residue near main roads

  • Sprinkler overspray and hard water spots

  • Coastal moisture and salt air (near the coast)

Recommended Frequency (Simple Rule)

Choose based on your environment and expectations.

Homes

  • Every 6–8 weeks if you want them consistently clean

  • Every 3 months for normal upkeep

  • Before events, showings, or seasonal refresh

Businesses

  • Monthly for storefronts / client-facing offices

  • Every 6–8 weeks for standard office buildings

  • More often near busy streets or high glass frontage

What Pros Clean (Beyond the Glass)

Most “window cleaning” fails because people only wipe the middle.

Pros include:

  • Tracks and sills (where grime builds)

  • Screens (big source of dust)

  • Edges and corners (where streaks start)

  • Spot treatment for hard water

Signs It’s Time

  • Streaks return quickly after you “clean”

  • Windows look cloudy in sunlight

  • Water spots don’t wipe off

  • Inside feels darker than usual

What This Means for Homeowners & Businesses

Routine window cleaning is one of the fastest upgrades to the look of a property—without remodeling anything.
