Short answer: most homes are cleaned every 4–8 weeks, offices and schools monthly or quarterly, and busy shop fronts weekly or fortnightly. The right frequency depends on your location, how visible the glass is and what the building is used for.
Homes
For most houses in Leicestershire, a clean every 4 weeks keeps windows consistently clear, while every 8 weeks suits homes away from main roads and trees. Homes near busy roads, farmland or building sites get dirty faster and benefit from the shorter cycle.
Commercial buildings
| Building | Typical frequency | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Retail & hospitality shop fronts | Weekly – fortnightly | Customer-facing glass shows fingerprints and grime quickly |
| Offices | Monthly (external), quarterly (internal) | Presentation for staff and visitors |
| Schools & academies | Monthly or termly | Timed around holidays; natural light in classrooms |
| Industrial & warehouses | Quarterly – twice a year | Skylights and high glazing affect light levels |
Things that mean you need cleaning more often
- Main roads, bus routes or nearby construction
- Trees, birds or agricultural land nearby
- Coastal or exposed locations
- Customer-facing entrances and shop fronts
