Preparing Your Windows for Winter: A Fall Cleaning Checklist

As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s time to think about more than just sweaters and pumpkin spice—your windows could use some attention, too. Fall is the perfect time to prepare your windows for the colder months ahead, and a little maintenance now can save you a lot of trouble (and money) later.

Between dust, pollen, and summer storms, windows take a beating throughout the warmer months. By the time fall rolls around, they’ve often collected layers of grime that not only dull your view but can also affect the efficiency of your building. Clean, well-maintained windows allow more natural light to shine in and can even help with heat retention when winter winds start to blow.

Your Fall Window Cleaning Checklist

Here’s a quick checklist to get your windows winter-ready:

1. Wash Away Summer’s Build-Up

Dirt, dust, and hard water spots can etch into the glass over time. A professional cleaning removes that buildup, protecting your windows from long-term damage.

2. Inspect for Cracks and Leaks

As you (or your cleaning team) go, take a close look for cracks in the glass or gaps around the frame. Sealing them now helps keep out cold air drafts and moisture before freezing temps set in.

3. Don’t Forget the Frames and Sills

Leaves, debris, and insects often get trapped in these areas. Cleaning them out prevents mold, mildew, and staining.

4. Schedule a Professional Window Cleaning

Having your windows professionally cleaned in the fall isn’t just about looks—it’s about prevention. At Weber Cleaning, our team uses safe, effective cleaning methods to give your windows a clear shine while helping you spot any issues early.

5. Keep It Consistent

One of the best ways to protect your investment is to schedule regular window maintenance throughout the year. A seasonal cleaning plan ensures your property always looks its best, no matter the weather.

Keep the View Clear This Winter

Before the snow and ice arrive, take the time to give your windows the care they need. You’ll enjoy more natural light, better energy efficiency, and a building that looks clean and welcoming all season long.
