Minnesota homeowners love their views — whether it’s a lakefront cabin or a quiet suburban home. But between snow, pollen, hard water, and bugs, your windows don’t stay clean for long.
So how often should you have your windows professionally cleaned in Minnesota?
Let’s break it down by seasons, window types, and your home’s unique location.

Why Regular Window Cleaning Matters
Clean windows do more than just look nice — they:
- Let in more natural light
- Extend the life of your window panes and seals
- Prevent etching from hard water and mineral buildup
- Boost curb appeal (and even home value)

Minnesota’s Seasonal Window Cleaning Needs
🌷 Spring (Must Clean)
- Melting snow leaves behind mineral residue
- Siding runoff causes streaks
- Spring pollen starts collecting quickly
✅ Best for full exterior + interior cleaning
☀️ Summer (Good Maintenance)
- Storms and lake winds kick up dust and dirt
- Bugs leave spots and buildup on windows
✅ Great time for an exterior-only refresh
🍂 Fall (Prep for Winter)
- Remove buildup before cold seals it in
- Ideal for getting windows ready for insulation or caulking
✅ Optional but smart
❄️ Winter (Interior Only)
- Indoor glass gets cloudy from humidity and heat
- Fireplaces and pets leave marks and smudges
✅ Interior cleaning only (weather-dependent)
How Often Should You Clean?
Home Type | Recommended Frequency |
---|---|
Lakefront / wooded home | Every 3–4 months |
Suburban residential | Twice per year (spring + fall) |
Low exposure windows | Once or twice per year |
New construction | After build + quarterly |
