If you were, for example, to have a monster truck driving in front of your window every day splattering it with mud, the reason to keep a clean window would probably be pretty apparent. Windows are the doorway for your eyes to the outside world. Even when you can’t be outside, you can look through a window and remember it is there and waiting for you. Furthermore, they invite precious light into your home to chase away that depressing drear.

However, the primary reason to keep clean windows isn’t actually just for aesthetics. That is really just a bonus. In fact, window cleaning serves a valuable purpose. It doesn’t take much for very temporary dirt to transform into very permanent scratches. Dirt and other contaminants are often abrasive in texture. As such, with a little wind and movement, that dirt will leave permanent scratches on the window. The more dirt, the more risk of damage. So in essence, the reason to clean your windows is not just because it looks nicer, but because it is a regular maintenance task that you need to do to keep your home looking great. Failing to do this task is probably going to burn you in the future as restoring windows that are very scratched can be much more expensive.
