Cleaning windows isn't the easiest part of regular housekeeping, so most people don't do it regularly.

Meanwhile, dirty windows can make your house look untidy and gloomy, so you need to do it regularly anyway.

Here's how often you should clean them.

Seasonal Cleaning

It is recommended to clean your windows at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and fall. 

Regular Maintenance

For general maintenance, you can do light cleaning of your windows every month or every other month.

Exterior Cleaning

If you live in an area with heavy pollution, near construction sites, or in close proximity to trees and foliage, you may need to clean the exterior windows more frequently. 

This can help prevent the buildup of dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris.

Consider Weather Conditions

If you experience heavy rain, storms, or strong winds, it may be necessary to clean your windows more often to remove water spots, streaks, or debris left behind by the weather.

Personal Preference

Some individuals may prefer to have cleaner windows and may choose to clean them more frequently. 

Others may be less concerned with maintaining spotless windows and opt for cleaning less often. 

Consider your personal preference and how important clean windows are to you.
