The Popularity of Window Cleaning Over Time
For as long as there have been windows, there has been the need to clean them. But throughout history, cleaning windows has fluctuated between being more or less of a priority for homeowners based on many socio-economic variables.
We decided to take a look at the popularity of window cleaning over time to see how this varies seasonally, as well as from year to year. There will be lots of factors that affect how popular window cleaning is at any given moment – from economic concerns like budgets with homeowners tightening their belts, to being unable to find the right company.

Window Cleaning Through the Year
With the changing of the seasons, window cleaning rises and falls in popularity accordingly. In the winter months, it is perhaps seen as less of a priority. With fewer people going out in the cold and the darker nights creeping in, there are simply fewer opportunities to show off your sparkling clean windows to passersby or even to enjoy them yourself as you get home later.
Conversely, in the summer months, window cleaning soars in popularity. With the sunlight hitting your windows, you want them to be clean. Plus, in the warmer parts of the year, you’ll often have friends and family coming to visit – and surely they can’t help but take a peek at your windows to see how clean the frames and glass are (even if they say they won’t look and judge!). While there’s more time to enjoy them, there is therefore more demand to get the job done right, making the brighter, sunnier months a busy time for window cleaners.
Window Cleaning Through the Years
We’ve taken a look at data from Google Trends over the last five years to see how the popularity of window cleaning has fluctuated in recent times. One moment in particular saw searches for “window cleaning” as a topic escalate to its highest ever levels. You might be able to guess what that was!
The Coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 saw many of us stuck at home for months on end. In this period, our attention turned to our homes and how we could improve them. Window cleaning became of the more popular investments at this time, climbing high above seasonal trends and staying there for longer. With nothing else on which to spend their money and plenty of homes to pass on our daily (remember that?) walks, window cleaning became a popular method of simple yet effective home improvement.
While these searches may have also been for people looking for information on how to clean their windows themselves, it’s worth remembering that it’s always best to get a professional to do the job if you want the finest results. As there’s no longer a lockdown, we’re free to move as we please – so it’s possible and indeed encouraged for our window cleaning team to come to your home, while you’re free to go out and do whatever else you please!
