Living in the Treasure Valley means enjoying all four seasons — but each one brings different challenges when it comes to keeping your windows clean. Here’s a simple seasonal guide to help you know when to schedule professional window cleaning:
🌸 Spring
After a long winter, windows are often covered in grime, hard water spots, and debris. Spring is the perfect time for a thorough cleaning to let the sunlight back in and freshen up your home.
👉 Recommended: Full exterior and interior cleaning☀️ Summer
Dust, pollen, and sprinkler overspray (especially with hard water) can dirty windows quickly. Clean windows also boost curb appeal if you're hosting or selling your home.
👉 Recommended: Exterior maintenance clean or touch-up🍂 Fall
As leaves fall and rain increases, debris can build up on window sills and tracks. It’s also smart to clean windows before winter grime sets in.
👉 Recommended: Full exterior cleaning, especially before holidays❄️ Winter
While not ideal for outdoor cleanings, interior windows can still be cleaned to maximize light and comfort during shorter days.
👉 Recommended: Interior clean, especially for large or high windows🧼 Final Tip:
A quarterly cleaning schedule is ideal for homes that want consistently clear views and long-lasting glass. And if you're in a high-traffic or dusty area, bi-monthly may be even better!

Sure, sparkling windows look great—but there’s more to window cleaning than meets the eye. Here are some often-overlooked benefits of hiring a professional like Boise Bright Window Cleaning:
💡 1. More Natural Light
Clean windows allow more sunlight into your home, which can brighten your space and even improve your mood and energy levels.
💸 2. Lower Energy Bills
Dirty windows can block sunlight and affect your home’s natural heating. Clean windows = better temperature regulation and lower heating costs in winter.
🪟 3. Longer Window Lifespan
Dirt, dust, and hard water buildup can cause etching and permanent damage over time. Routine cleaning helps prevent glass corrosion and extends the life of your windows.
🔍 4. Early Damage Detection
A trained cleaner can spot issues like cracked seals, water damage, or broken screens before they become expensive repairs.
🏠 5. Better Curb Appeal
Whether you’re selling your home or just take pride in it, clean windows add a noticeable boost in appearance from the street.
When you hire professionals, you’re not just paying for clean glass — you’re investing in the health, safety, and beauty of your home.
