Can You Clean Windows in the Rain? Yes — and Here’s Why You Should

At Squeaky Feeky Property Services, one question we often hear around Dunmanway and Bantry is: “Do you still clean windows when it’s raining?” The short answer? Yes, we do — and for good reason.

Many people assume that rain makes window cleaning pointless, but that’s a common misconception. In fact, regular window cleaning during wet weather can keep your glass looking better, longer — especially when it’s done professionally.

Rainwater Doesn’t Make Windows Dirty — Dirt Does

It’s not the rain that causes streaks and smudges — it’s the dirt, pollen, and residue already on the glass. When we clean your windows using either the pure water system or traditional methods, we’re removing all that grime. Once the glass is clean, rain alone won’t dirty it.

Pure rainwater is naturally soft and mineral-free — it dries without leaving marks when your windows are already clean. Think of it like a rinse, not a problem.

Why We Keep Working, Even in the Rain

Here in West Cork, the weather can be unpredictable — and waiting for a perfectly dry day often means waiting too long. Here’s why we don’t stop when a few drops start falling:

• Consistent Scheduling: Skipping appointments for light rain leads to backlog and delays for everyone.

• Same Great Results: Our methods are designed to work in most weather — light rain doesn’t affect the outcome.

• Pure Water Advantage: Our pure water system is designed to rinse away dirt and minerals — it works just as well (sometimes better!) when the weather is damp.

• 
  

When We Do Reschedule

Of course, your safety and satisfaction come first. If there’s heavy rain, strong wind, or dangerous conditions, we’ll always reschedule. But for light rain or drizzle? It’s business as usual.
