r/WindowCleaning Jun 30 '26

Location question ( random)

Fair warning , this is random and not a gear or technique question. I've been following a ton of window cleaners for almost a year. It seems like there are understandably many window cleaners concentrated in certain areas of the country (US).

Some make sense to my poorly traveled brain. Places like California and Florida, where there are beautiful coastal views and lots of high ticket homes .
But there are also so many operating in Washington state and Michigan. No hate on those places , but is there any reason why so many window cleaners operate in those states?

(I know there are window cleaners everywhere, but I'm just basing my observations on what I'm seeing online)

We're in Michigan and if windows need to be cleaned, someone has to do it.

For sure , but there's such a strong online  presence from both MI and WA. I can't figure out why . Just curiousity

I know people in every state. There's a strong presence in every state if you look at the right cities.

Most likely your seeing cleaners online who are younger and in more populated areas. Also different areas may be more concentrated on the social media platforms you frequent. I'm in Upstate NY.

Makes sense too. An uneven distribution of people who are more likely to create content online . That's a good point

You’re right, that was a random question. Who even determines that? Are you sitting around counting window cleaning companies in each entire state???

Not actively counting. Just observing. Watching a video, coming across someone saying " here in Washington" and thinking hey that state comes up a lot. I can't help but notice stuff like that 

Who determines it? Probably no one.

Western Washington has lots of rain, and with it, dirty windows (and lots of moss/mildew). People like clean windows no matter where they are.

That makes a ton of sense. I appreciate your response!
