Walk down any Dublin high street and you can tell, without thinking about it, which businesses have a window cleaning schedule and which have a “when someone remembers” policy. Shopfront glass tells on its owners faster than any other glass in the city.
The Schedule That Works
For commercial premises we recommend — and clean on — a cycle of every 2 to 6 weeks, set by footfall and location. A café on a busy road with heavy passing trade sits at the two-week end; a quieter office frontage stretches comfortably to six. Nobody sensible cleans a shopfront annually, because the glass does not last a fraction of that.
Why Shopfronts Dirty So Fast
The very front glass gets it from both sides at once. Outside: traffic film, dust and weather. Inside: condensation, display handling and daily life. And uniquely, customers touch it — pointing at displays, pushing the wrong side of the door, children with ice cream. House windows collect dirt; shopfronts collect evidence.
Why It Earns Its Line on the Budget
Your front glass is the first thing a walking customer inspects, whether they know it or not. Clean glass reads as a business that minds the details; smeared glass quietly argues the opposite, right at the moment someone is deciding whether to come in. For the modest cost of a monthly clean, it is the cheapest piece of shopfront marketing available in Dublin.
