Summer sun and window smudges: how to keep your glass spotless

Because bright sunshine is the ultimate tattletale

There’s something about summer sunlight that shows everything. You might have thought your windows were clean, but the second the sun hits the glass, out pop the smudges, streaks and mysterious marks.

Don’t worry, you’re not imagining it. Here’s why summer makes your windows look worse – and what you can do to keep things crystal clear.

Why summer isn’t kind to windows

• Sunlight shows up everything – even the marks you missed
  
  
• Pollen and dust settle quickly – especially near plants or dry gardens
  
  
• Bug splats are a thing – not glamorous, but very real
  
  
• Hard water dries faster – and leaves more streaks when it does
  
  

Top tips to beat the smudges

• Schedule regular cleans – every 4 – 6 weeks in summer keeps things tidy
  
  
• Avoid cleaning in direct sun – water dries too fast, leaving marks
  
  
• Wipe down sills regularly – they’re where all the dust settles
  
  
• Let us do the heavy lifting – our purified water system dries clear, every time
