Think your windows still look “fine”? Most homeowners don’t realize how dirty their windows have become until they’re spotless again. Here are 5 subtle (and costly) signs it’s time to call a professional window cleaner — especially in Minnesota’s unpredictable climate.
1. Dull Light Indoors
If your home feels darker than usual, it might not be the weather — it could be built-up grime on your glass.
☀️ Clean windows can let in up to 30% more natural light. That means brighter rooms, better moods, and lower energy use.
2. Streaks Even After Cleaning
If you’re using paper towels and Windex and still seeing streaks, it’s probably due to hard water stains or soap residue. Professional cleaners use pure water systems that leave zero spots or streaks.

3. Your Sills and Frames Look Gross
Cleaning the glass is just part of the job. If your frames are covered in dust, dead bugs, or spiderwebs, you’re not just losing curb appeal — you’re risking long-term damage from moisture and buildup.
4. You Can’t Remember the Last Time You Had Them Cleaned
Windows should be professionally cleaned at least twice a year, especially after Minnesota’s winter and pollen-heavy spring.
5. Your Neighbors Just Did Theirs 😬
Let’s be real — clean windows make everything else look better. If your neighbors’ homes are sparkling, yours might look a little dull in comparison.
Don’t wait for damage, dullness, or dirty looks. Call in the pros and bring clarity back to your home.
