You’ve probably noticed it—your windows look foggier, dirtier, and more smudged in the winter than any other time of year. It’s not your imagination. In fact, it’s one of the most common complaints homeowners in Evansville have during the colder months.
The culprit? A combination of indoor heating, cold exterior temperatures, and built-up grime from fall and early winter. As your home heats up and the windows stay cold, condensation builds up. When that happens on already dirty glass, every smudge, streak, or speck of dust becomes highly visible.
That’s why many homeowners turn to Cloud 9 Window Cleaning for mid-winter window cleaning—a simple yet powerful way to bring clarity, brightness, and comfort back into your home during the darkest time of year.

What Causes Foggy and Smudged Windows in Winter?
Several seasonal factors make your windows appear dirtier during the winter months, even if they were cleaned in the fall:
1. Condensation from Heating Systems
- Warm indoor air meets the cold glass surface.
- This temperature difference causes moisture to form on the inside of the glass.
- That condensation clings to dust and smudges, making them more noticeable.
2. Dry Air and Static
- Winter air is naturally dry, and heating systems reduce humidity even more.
- This increases static cling, attracting dust and particles to the glass.
3. Shorter Days and Lower Sun Angles
- Sunlight hits your windows at different angles in winter.
- Smudges, handprints, and streaks become much more visible in this lighting.
4. Dirty Exteriors from Fall Debris
- Wind, rain, and falling leaves coat the outside of your windows in grime.
- These layers freeze and thaw repeatedly, making them harder to remove.
All of these elements work together to create windows that look far worse than they actually are—and feel impossible to keep clean.
Mid-Winter Window Cleaning: Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. A mid-winter window cleaning gives you the clear views and clean light your home needs this time of year.
Here’s why it matters:
- Improves natural light, which boosts mood and reduces electricity use
- Removes interior buildup like handprints, pet nose smudges, and dust
- Eliminates exterior grime before it becomes harder to clean in early spring
- Reduces allergens and irritants, improving indoor air quality
- Makes your home feel brighter, fresher, and more inviting
Especially if you didn’t clean your windows in the fall, a winter refresh makes a noticeable difference right away.
