Stop Putting It Off: Why Now Is the Right Time to Get Your Windows Cleaned
Most people don’t plan to ignore their windows. It just happens. You look out one morning, notice a few streaks, and think, “I’ll sort that next week.” Then next week turns into next month. Then the green film appears on the upstairs frames. Then it rains. Then it’s nearly winter. And before you know it, it’s been six months.
We’ve cleaned thousands of windows across Worcester — and we can tell you this: you’re not the only one putting it off. But leaving it too long can turn a small job into a bigger, messier, more expensive one.
Here’s why it’s better to just get it done — and why it’s probably easier than you think.
“It Doesn’t Look That Bad”
You might be right. From a distance, glass often looks fine. But if you take a closer look — especially on first-floor windows or in shaded corners — there’s usually more going on than you realise. Pollen, algae, stuck-on dust, cobwebs, and water marks all build up slowly. Your eye adjusts over time, so you don’t notice how much light you're losing.
The difference after a clean is usually more than people expect. Most customers say the same thing after we finish: “Didn’t realise how bad they were.”
“I’ll Wait Until the Weather’s Better”
This is probably the most common excuse. But let’s be honest — in Worcester, you could be waiting a while.
Here’s the truth: rain doesn’t make clean windows dirty.
What makes them dirty is existing muck — dust, bird mess, dried-on sap — that gets reactivated by moisture and runs down the glass. If your windows are already clean, rainwater just slides off without causing streaks.
We clean all year round, and there’s rarely a reason to delay unless the weather makes it unsafe (like high winds or heavy frost). Waiting for the “perfect day” is just putting off the inevitable.
“I’ll Do It Myself”
If you’ve got the time, tools, and safe access — fair enough. But most people don’t.
We’ve been called out to plenty of DIY clean-up jobs gone wrong: smears from household glass cleaner, scratches from the wrong cloth, or unsafe attempts to lean out of upstairs windows.
Using off-the-shelf sprays and paper towels might make things look shiny for a day, but they usually leave residue. Then, when the sun hits the glass, the streaks show up worse than before.
We use pure water systems — no soap, no chemicals — that rinse dirt clean and leave no trace when dry. It’s safer, faster, and more effective. And you don’t have to climb a ladder to do it.
“I’ll Just Wait Until It’s Really Bad”
Here’s the problem: when it gets really bad, it’s harder to fix. Long-term grime doesn’t just sit on the glass — it works its way into seals, frames, and vents. By the time it looks bad from the pavement, you might already be dealing with mossy frames, stuck-on dirt, and damage to rubber seals.
Regular cleaning stops the build-up. Even if it’s just every couple of months, it prevents that ‘layered-on’ grime that makes windows look permanently dull.
Why It’s Easier Than You Think
At Fresh ’n’ Clean, we try to make the whole process simple. We don’t ask you to be home, we don’t need you to prep the house, and we don’t make a fuss. As long as there’s access to the windows, we get the job done and let you know once it’s finished.
You can:
- Book by text, phone, or Facebook — whatever’s easiest
- Request a one-off clean or regular schedule — no contracts
- Get a clear price up front — no surprises
You don’t need to scrub anything yourself, clear garden furniture out the way, or stress about weather. We take care of it.

The Bottom Line
Your windows won’t clean themselves — and the longer you leave them, the harder (and more expensive) it becomes. Whether it’s your home or your business, clean windows make a clear difference. They let in more light, make your property look cared for, and protect the materials from long-term wear.
You don’t have to commit to regular cleaning if you’re not ready. But doing nothing for months on end isn’t saving you money — it’s just letting problems build up.
