Wellington’s famous wind is a window cleaner’s nemesis — blowing dust, pollen and salt onto glass almost as fast as you wipe it off. Here’s how to get genuinely clean windows and keep them cleaner for longer. For help with window cleaning Wellington in the Wellington region, Nice Work Cleaning Co. is your trusted local team.
Choose Your Day Wisely
Never clean windows on a windy day — your cleaning solution dries before you can wipe it, leaving streaks. Choose a calm, overcast day. Bright sun has the same effect as wind — it dries the glass too fast.
The Squeegee Method
A squeegee gives streak-free results far more consistently than cloths. Use a window cleaning solution (or diluted dish soap), apply with a scrubber pad, then squeegee in overlapping horizontal strokes. Wipe the squeegee blade after each stroke.
Don’t Forget Window Tracks and Sills
Window tracks fill up with dust and dead insects in Wellington homes. Vacuum the track first, then wipe with a damp cloth. Silicone spray on the tracks after cleaning keeps them sliding smoothly.
Inside vs Outside
Clean inside first, then outside — that way you can identify which streaks are on which side. Most condensation marks and fingerprints are inside; most salt and grime is outside.
How Often?
For most Wellington homes, cleaning windows every two to three months is sufficient. Homes near the coast or main roads may need monthly cleaning.
