When the first properly sunny day of the year arrives, it lights up everything winter left on your windows. Spring is the natural time for a fresh start, and the best time to begin regular window cleaning.
What winter leaves behind
- Road salt and grit, especially on front elevations near gritted roads.
- Algae and green film on frames, sills and conservatory roofs that stayed damp all winter.
- Water marks from months of rain and condensation drying on dirty glass.
- Storm debris in gutters and on conservatory roofs.
Why spring is the best time to start
A thorough first clean in spring takes the glass, frames and sills back to clean. After that, regular visits only have a few weeks of dirt to deal with each time, so your windows stay bright all through the brightest months of the year.
Spring is also when pollen arrives. Around Selby, Snaith, Howden and Riccall, oilseed rape and tree pollen leave a yellow film on glass within days. A 4-weekly clean through late spring and summer keeps it under control.
The spring exterior refresh
- First window clean of the year, including frames, sills and doors.
- Conservatory roof and glass, once the blossom has dropped.
- Soffits and fascias, to lift winter algae from the roofline.
- A gutter check if your home is surrounded by trees.

Quick answers
- Is spring a good time to start regular window cleaning?
- Yes. A first clean removes winter grime, and regular visits through spring and summer deal with pollen and dust as they arrive.
- What about pollen?
- Tree and crop pollen leaves a yellow film on glass and frames, especially near farmland. A 4-weekly clean through late spring keeps on top of it.
- Should I clean my conservatory in spring?
- Late spring, once blossom has dropped, is ideal. It clears winter algae and stains before the long, bright days.
