What should window cleaning post on social media?

A healthy window-cleaning calendar is ~70-80% organic, ~20-30% promo. Rough mix: asmr_satisfying ~25%, before_after (as organic transformation, no ask) ~20%, humor_relatable ~12%, bts/character_personality ~12%, tip/faq_mythbust ~8%, storytime_emotional ~5%, social_proof ~8%, seasonal ~5%, promo/booking_nudge ~5%. The satisfying squeegee/transformation content is the single biggest reach driver; promo is the minority and should never be stapled onto an organic post.

What the research says about window cleaning social

Posting cadence for window cleaning

Consistency beats volume: ~3 posts per week (2-3 minimum) is the baseline recommendation for cleaning businesses, with short-form video posted more often when the crew can capture it on the job. Every clean is a free content opportunity, so the practical cap is 'film one satisfying clip per job, post 3-5x/week'.

Best platforms for this trade

Instagram Reels and TikTok are the primary growth surfaces for window cleaning - both reward short vertical video of the satisfying transformation and ASMR squeegee work. YouTube (Shorts plus long-form 10-minute ASMR cleans) is a strong secondary for the deep-satisfying niche. Facebook matters for the local/older homeowner audience and reposting before/afters into community/neighborhood groups. Pinterest and LinkedIn are minor; Google Business Profile posts help local SEO but are not an organic-reach engine.

What NOT to post

Don'ts: don't post a wall of 'book in bio' CTAs (kills organic reach); don't use stock or AI-perfect glass photos (reads fake, erodes the trust this trade sells on); don't show a customer's address/home exterior without consent; don't fake the before (audiences spot staged grime); don't overproduce - raw real job footage outperforms slick edits; don't discount-spam (this is a reliability/trust purchase, not impulse); don't bury the satisfying moment - lead with it.

Hooks that work

Hooks that travel for window cleaning: open on the dirtiest pane ('this hadn't been cleaned in X years'); 'POV: you finally hired someone'; 'turn your sound on for this squeegee'; 'rate my technique 1-10'; 'wait for it' on the first squeegee pull; 'you could just do it yourself, they said'; 'the satisfying part is at the end'. Front-load the transformation or the most-satisfying frame in the first second; never open with the company name or a sales line.

Seasonal moments to plan for

Window cleaning is seasonal: spring-cleaning (Mar-May) and fall pre-holiday (Sep-Nov) are the demand peaks and the strongest organic windows ('get your windows clean before the holidays / before guests arrive'). Pollen season (spring) and post-storm/post-construction grime are natural relatable content triggers. Holiday-light installs (Nov-Dec) and post-summer bug/screen content are secondary. Move-in/move-out season (summer) feeds before/after content.

Formats that perform

Short vertical reels of REAL job-site footage dominate - captions-on, sound up (squeegee/water audio is the draw), 7-20 seconds for ASMR/satisfying, slightly longer for POV day-in-the-life. Before/after uses a hard cut or snap transition on the same pane. No stock imagery and no AI-perfect glass renders - real grime and a real crew build more trust and read as authentic. Vertical 9:16, hook in the first second (dirtiest corner of the window or the first squeegee pull).
