Seasonal Checklist: When to Clean Your Windows, Solar Panels & Glass Fencing in Adelaide
Adelaide’s unique weather patterns, from dry summers to blustery autumns, can take a real toll on your windows, solar panels, and glass fencing. Staying on top of seasonal cleaning not only keeps your home or business looking great, but also protects your investment long term.
Here’s your go-to seasonal cleaning checklist, tailored for Adelaide’s climate.
☀️ Summer (December–February)
What to clean:
✅ Salt spray on windows and balcony glass (especially coastal areas like Glenelg to North Haven)
✅ Dust, pollen, salt spashes and sunscreen from glass pool fencing
✅ Solar panels affected by heat, sap, and bird droppings
Why it matters:
Hot days bake grime onto surfaces. Summer is also peak season for entertaining, so clean glass makes the best first impression.
Pro Tip: Book a clean before and/or after heatwaves or extended dry spells for best results.
🍂 Autumn (March–May)
What to clean:
✅ Window tracks clogged with fallen leaves and dirt
✅ Pool fencing/Balcony glass and flyscreens gathering dust
✅ Solar panels before shorter winter days reduce energy yield
Why it matters:
Autumn winds stir up debris. Clearing tracks and screens now prevents buildup and pest nesting.
Pro Tip: Schedule a full clean before the rain hits—autumn grime plus water equals streaks and stains.
❄️ Winter (June–August)
What to clean:
✅ Mould, mildew, and condensation build-up on interior glass
✅ Exterior windows after storm activity
✅ Solar panels for maximum winter efficiency
Why it matters:
Less sunlight and more rain mean every bit of clean glass helps brighten your home and keep panels efficient.
Pro Tip: Focus on interior glass and high-touch areas during the wettest months.
🌸 Spring (September–November)
What to clean:
✅ Pollen, dust and winter weather from windows and screens
✅ Glass pool fencing ahead of swim season
✅ Solar panels ahead of peak energy production
Why it matters:
Spring is perfect for a top-to-bottom refresh. Plus, it's when many homes go on the market—clean glass makes a huge difference to kerb appeal.
Pro Tip: Spring is one of our busiest times— book early and schedule it in!
