It's better to wait until the pollen count is mostly over in spring before cleaning your windows. The flowering period can last from mid-March to May.

Apple, pear, and cherry trees bloom, which are mainly responsible for the pollen. After the tree blossoms, the grass pollen is still on the way. However, these cause far less pollution than the pollen in spring. When the sun is shining, the windows would dry too quickly and leave unsightly streaks. To thoroughly remove pollen from the windows, it is best to proceed as follows: First, use a feather duster or soft hand broom to sweep the pollen and other dirt from the glass. Then, clean the windows gently and without leaving streaks on the glass, using a soft broom or dusting powder. When it is cloudy to clean your windows, choose a day when it is not too hot and the wind will not be too strong.
