Winter Window Cleaning in Perth: Is It Worth It?

It's a common question we hear from Perth homeowners: "Why would I get my windows cleaned in winter when it's just going to rain?" It seems logical to wait for the sunny spring weather, but the truth is, a professional window clean during the winter months is one of the smartest things you can do for your home.

Here’s a breakdown of why a winter window clean is absolutely worth it.

Mythbusting: Rain Doesn't Make Windows Dirty

This is the biggest misconception. Rainwater itself is naturally very pure and won't leave spots on your glass. What makes windows look dirty after it rains is the rain landing on a **pre-existing layer of dirt, dust, and grime.**

When raindrops hit a dirty window, they move the dirt around, and as the water evaporates, it leaves behind a streaky, muddy mess. However, when rain hits a professionally cleaned window, it simply sheets off without leaving any marks. In fact, a light shower can even help your clean windows stay clean!

The Real Benefits of a Winter Clean

1. Maximise Precious Winter Light

The days are shorter and often overcast in a Perth winter. A layer of grime on your windows can block a surprising amount of natural light, making your home feel darker and gloomier. A professional clean instantly brightens your interior spaces, improving your mood and even helping to reduce your reliance on artificial lighting during the day.

2. Prevent Mould and Grime Build-up

Perth's damp winter is the perfect breeding ground for mould and algae, especially in window tracks and on frames. Leaving this build-up all winter can lead to staining and long-term damage. A professional clean removes this grime, protecting your window frames and contributing to a healthier home environment.

3. Easier & More Flexible Scheduling

Spring is the busiest season for all exterior cleaning services. By booking your window clean during the quieter winter months, you'll often find it's much easier to get an appointment that perfectly suits your schedule. You can get the job done without the long wait times.
