How often should you get your windows cleaned in Market Drayton?
The honest answer depends more on where you live than most people think — here's how to work out the right frequency for your home.
Most people ask this the wrong way round. They start with "how often do window cleaners usually come" rather than "what does my house actually need" — and end up either paying for cleans they don't need, or waiting so long that grime builds up and takes longer to shift each time.
The honest answer is that frequency depends more on where your house sits than on any general rule. Here's how to actually work it out.
The standard starting point: every 4 weeks
For most homes in Market Drayton, a 4-weekly clean is the sweet spot. It's frequent enough that dirt never gets a chance to bake onto the glass, and it keeps window frames and sills looking cared for rather than neglected.
When you might need it more often
- Near the A53 or another busy road — traffic grime settles on glass faster than you'd think, especially on ground-floor windows.
- Under trees, or near farmland — sap, pollen and dust from nearby fields build up quickly, particularly in spring and during harvest.
- South or west-facing glass — more direct sun bakes on rain spots and mineral deposits, making them harder to remove the longer they sit.
- Commercial premises — shopfronts get judged daily by passing customers, so weekly or fortnightly is standard.
When every 6-8 weeks is genuinely fine
- Upper-floor windows with limited direct exposure to the road or trees.
- Homes set back from the road with a sheltered aspect.
- Properties used seasonally, such as holiday lets between bookings.
What Market Drayton's water means for the result
Local mains water here is classed as hard, which matters more than most people realise. Hard water leaves mineral deposits behind as it dries, which is exactly what causes the streaky, cloudy look people associate with "bad" window cleaning — regardless of how often it's done. Using pure, filtered water avoids this entirely.
Our honest recommendation
Start at 4-weekly. If your windows still look genuinely clean right up until the next visit, stretch to 6 or 8 weeks and save a little. If they're looking tired again within two weeks, that's a sign your property's exposure calls for a shorter cycle.
