💡 Pro tip: Clean windows are one of the best value improvements between tenants. Relatively quick, not expensive, makes the whole property look better.

🔧 DIY Tips
Cleaning your own rental windows? Here's how to get streak-free results:
🧽 What you'll need
- Window cleaner or vinegar solution
- Squeegee (best tool for streak-free)
- Microfiber cloths
- Bucket
- Step stool/ladder if needed
- Old newspaper (secret weapon)
✅ The process
- Do inside first (so you can see outside marks)
- Spray window liberally with cleaner
- Wipe/scrub with cloth to loosen dirt
- Squeegee from top to bottom, wipe blade between strokes
- Edges with cloth
- Polish with newspaper (seriously - works brilliantly)
- Wipe sills and frames
- Repeat outside
🪟 Getting streak-free finish
- Work in shade if possible (sun dries cleaner too fast)
- Don't use too much cleaner (causes streaks)
- Squeegee in one smooth motion
- Wipe squeegee blade between strokes
- Newspaper for final polish (old school but effective)
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Cleaning in direct sun (dries too fast, streaks)
- Using wrong cloth (leaves lint)
- Too much product (makes streaks)
- Not doing edges properly (shows from inside)
- Forgetting to clean frames/sills (makes windows look unfinished)
- Doing outside first (can't see inside marks to fix)
💡 Pro trick: Vinegar and water (50/50) in spray bottle works as well as expensive cleaners. Squeegee for main area, newspaper for final polish. Old-school but streak-free every time.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎯 Safety tip: Don't lean out of upstairs windows trying to clean outside. Not worth the risk. Ground floor and safely accessible only.
UPVC frames: These go grey and grubby over time. Sugar soap solution cuts through the grime brilliantly. Makes white frames actually white again.
Condensation stains: Common in rental properties (inadequate heating/ventilation). White vinegar solution removes the marks from glass.
Regular window cleaners: If you use a regular window cleaning service for the property, great. This service is for the inside clean between tenants (which regular window cleaners often don't do).
Viewings coming up? Clean windows make rooms photograph better too. If you're getting property photos done for listings, do windows first.
Student properties? Inside windows in student kitchens get disgusting (cooking grease). Budget for professional clean yearly - makes a huge difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the window clean?
All accessible windows inside and out - glass, frames, sills. Ground floor and anything safely reachable from inside. Makes a massive difference to how the property looks for viewings.
Can you clean upstairs windows?
Inside yes, outside only if safely accessible. I'm not a specialist window cleaner with poles and ladders - I do ground floor and easily accessible upstairs from inside. For full exterior on tall houses, book a window cleaner.
Do most landlords bother cleaning windows between tenants?
Smart ones do. Clean windows make the whole property look better maintained. It's one of those things viewers notice subconsciously - bright rooms with clear views versus grimy windows that make everywhere look dingy.
How dirty do rental windows get?
Inside can be pretty bad - cooking grease, condensation marks, handprints, pet nose prints. Outside depends on how long since last clean and whether tenant bothered. Usually both sides need proper cleaning.
Is this a specialist window cleaning or just a wipe?
Proper clean - frames, glass, sills. Not just a quick spray. But I'm not replacing a professional window cleaning service for the full exterior. This is the accessible stuff done properly.
