Window Cleaning New York City | GreenHandsCorp Cleaning Services
Spring comes to New York City and people open their blinds for the first time in months. And then they really look at their windows. Not through them — at them. The grime. The water stains. The film of exhaust and city dust that's been building up since October.
Windows in New York City get dirty faster than almost anywhere else. Subway exhaust, traffic, construction dust, pollution — it all lands on your glass. A window that looked fine in January looks completely different in April light. And once you notice it, you can't stop noticing it.
That's why window cleaning in New York City is something people put on the list every spring — and why a lot of them end up calling us.
GreenHandsCorp Cleaning Services does window cleaning for apartments and homes all across New York City. We're based in East Elmhurst, Queens and we serve all five boroughs. We clean interior windows, window tracks, window sills, and window frames — not just the glass — so the whole thing is actually clean when we're done.
What Window Cleaning in New York City Actually Involves
[Placeholder]
A lot of people think window cleaning means wiping the glass. It's more than that. New York City windows collect grime in the tracks first. That black, dusty buildup in the window channel where the frame slides — that's years of city air compressed into a narrow groove. If you've ever tried to clean it yourself with a paper towel you know how quickly that goes wrong.
The frame and sill collect the same dust and pollution. Paint residue, black streaks from rain washing dirt down the glass, mineral deposits from hard water — all of it ends up on and around your windows. Our window cleaning service covers all of it. We clean the glass inside and out where accessible. We clean the tracks, removing the built-up grime properly instead of just pushing it around. We wipe down frames and sills. When we're done, the window looks clean — not just the glass, the whole window. We use streak-free cleaning methods and solutions that don't leave residue. A clean window in a New York City apartment makes a bigger difference to how the whole room looks and feels than most people expect.

Window Cleaning
Our window cleaning service is available as a standalone visit or as part of a larger cleaning appointment.
A lot of clients book window cleaning on its own — either seasonally or when they notice the windows have gotten bad. Spring is our busiest time for window cleaning requests, but we do it year-round. After summer, after winter, whenever the city has left its mark on your glass.
We clean windows in apartments and homes across all five boroughs. Studios in Astoria with four windows. Large prewar apartments in Washington Heights with original double-hung windows and six inches of track grime. Houses in Bayside with picture windows facing the street. Every window situation is a little different and we adjust to what we're working with.
Window cleaning is also a natural add-on to move in and move out cleaning, deep cleaning, and spring cleaning. If you're already booking a thorough clean, getting the windows done at the same time makes sense.

Spring Cleaning
Spring is when most of our window cleaning requests come in, and it makes complete sense. You've had the windows closed for months. The city has deposited a full winter's worth of grime on the glass. You want to open the windows and actually see outside without looking through a film.
Our spring cleaning service includes window cleaning as a core component. We combine a thorough clean of the whole apartment or house with proper window cleaning — glass, tracks, frames, and sills — so everything gets done in one visit.
Every spring we do spring cleaning with window cleaning add-ons all over New York City. From Park Slope to Pelham Bay, from Inwood to Flatbush, from Howard Beach to Hell's Kitchen — the calls start in March and don't stop until May.
Spring is our busiest season. Booking early means you get the date you want. If you're waiting until April to call, you may be waiting longer than you'd like for an appointment.
Deep Cleaning Service
Deep Cleaning Service
Window cleaning fits naturally into a deep cleaning service because both are about getting the things that regular cleaning ignores. A standard weekly or biweekly clean doesn't usually include windows. Tracks definitely don't get cleaned during a regular visit.
Our deep cleaning service covers all of it. When we do a full deep clean — inside appliances, baseboards, grout, behind furniture — we include the windows as part of that same thorough approach. Glass cleaned properly, tracks cleared out, frames and sills wiped down.
Move In Cleaning
[Placeholder]
Moving into a new apartment and discovering the windows are filthy is one of those small disappointments that comes with renting in New York City. The landlord cleaned the floors. Maybe scrubbed the bathroom. But the windows? The tracks? Those usually get skipped.
Our move in cleaning service covers windows as part of the full apartment clean. We go through every room, every surface, every appliance, and every window. Glass, tracks, frames, sills — all of it cleaned properly before you hang a single curtain or put a plant on the windowsill.
Tenants moving into apartments in Sunnyside, Maspeth, Ridgewood, Long Island City, Washington Heights, and all across the five boroughs book our move in cleaning all the time. Starting in a place where even the windows are clean makes the whole apartment feel genuinely ready to live in.

Move Out Cleaning
Move out cleaning in New York City is about getting your security deposit back. Landlords and management companies inspect closely. Dirty windows — especially windows with grimy, black-filled tracks — are the kind of thing that gets noticed and gets charged.
Our move out cleaning service handles the full apartment including windows. We clean the glass, clear the tracks, and wipe down frames and sills so the windows pass inspection along with everything else.
We've helped tenants across Queens and Brooklyn recover their full security deposits after professional move out cleans. Windows are one of those details that people forget about and landlords don't.
If you're moving out and want to make sure everything is done right, book your move out cleaning with window cleaning included. Don't leave money on the table over something we can handle in a couple of hours.

Apartment Cleaning
Regular apartment cleaning doesn't always include windows — but it can. For clients who want windows cleaned as part of their recurring apartment cleaning visits, we can build that into the schedule.
Some clients want windows cleaned every visit. Some want it done monthly as an add-on to their regular biweekly clean. Some just want it done once a season. We work with whatever makes sense for your apartment and your budget.
Our apartment cleaning service covers New York City apartments of all sizes throughout all five boroughs. We know the window situations in city apartments — painted-shut frames in old Queens buildings, casement windows in newer construction, double-hung windows in prewar Manhattan apartments with tracks that haven't been touched in years. We've seen all of it and we know how to clean it.
If you have a regular cleaning schedule with us and want to add window cleaning, just ask. We'll work it into your plan.

House Cleaning
Houses in New York City have more windows than apartments, and they face different challenges. Street-level windows in Queens and Brooklyn pick up more traffic exhaust and splash from rain. Houses near parks or trees deal with pollen and organic debris on the glass and sills. Larger picture windows show grime more obviously than smaller apartment windows.
Our house cleaning service includes window cleaning for homes across Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx. We clean interior windows throughout the house, tracks, frames, and sills. For exterior windows on the ground floor or accessible from inside, we clean those too.
Homeowners in Howard Beach, Bayside, Woodhaven, Canarsie, Bay Ridge, and Tottenville book our house cleaning service with window cleaning regularly — especially in spring and fall when seasonal buildup is at its worst.
A house with clean windows looks better from the inside and the outside. It's one of those things that takes some effort but makes a real difference in how your home feels.

Maid Service
For clients on a regular maid service schedule, window cleaning can be incorporated as a recurring add-on or a seasonal service.
Most of our maid service clients have windows cleaned a few times a year — spring, after summer, and sometimes in fall before winter sets in. It keeps the windows in good shape without requiring a separate appointment or a lot of coordination.
Our maid service clients in Elmhurst, Woodside, Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Long Island City appreciate having one company handle everything. Regular cleaning plus periodic window cleaning plus the occasional deep clean — all with the same team, on a consistent schedule.
If you're already on a maid service schedule with us and want to add window cleaning to your rotation, it's an easy conversation.

Why Clean Windows Matter More Than People Think
[Placeholder]
People underestimate how much dirty windows affect how a home looks and feels. A room with clean windows feels brighter, more open, and more cared for.
A room with grimy, streaked glass and black-filled tracks just feels a little off — even if you can't immediately identify why. In New York City, where apartments are small and natural light is precious, clean windows are not a small thing.
