A specific cleaning task.
Contexto cultural
Spring cleaning (spomladansko čiščenje) is a major tradition. Windows must be spotless before Easter. In mountain villages, clean windows are a sign of a well-maintained, hardworking household. In cities like Ljubljana, professional window cleaners are common for modern glass-heavy apartments. Traditional glassworks (glažute) made glass a point of pride, leading to a culture of careful maintenance.
Use the right verb
While 'čistiti' is general, 'pomivati' is very common if you are using a bucket of water.
Watch the case
Always use 'okna' (plural) for the general chore, not 'okno' (singular).
