Your home is more than just four walls—it’s your sanctuary, your investment, and the backdrop to everyday life. At Green Army, we believe in taking home care to the next level with healthier solutions, better people, and smarter systems. That’s why our residential window cleaning services are just one part of a full-service approach to caring for your entire property.

We’re not your average cleaning company. Green Army is leading a movement to improve the health of your home and neighborhood—starting with clean, streak-free windows that let the light shine in and your space breathe easy.

Our trained employees (never contractors) use professional-grade tools and eco-friendly products to deliver exceptional results. From window cleaning and power washing to pest control, lawn care, and lighting services, we make home maintenance effortless and reliable.

In this article, we’ll answer common questions homeowners have about window cleaning, explain why professional services are worth it, and show how Green Army delivers more than just clean windows—we deliver peace of mind.

Are Professional Window Cleaners Worth It?

Absolutely. Professional window cleaning isn’t just about appearance—it’s about safety, efficiency, and preserving the value of your home. Many homeowners try to tackle this task themselves, only to end up with streaks, smudges, or worse—injuries from climbing ladders.

When you hire Green Army for residential window cleaning services, you’re getting much more than just clean glass:

Why It’s Worth It:

• Crystal-Clear Results
  We use purified water systems and commercial-grade squeegees to deliver streak-free, spotless windows every time.
  
• Time-Saving Convenience
  What might take you an entire weekend, we complete in just a few hours—efficiently and with no mess left behind.
  
• Improved Safety
  Our trained employees are equipped to handle hard-to-reach windows safely, so you don’t have to risk injury.
  
• Protects Your Investment
  Regular window cleaning helps prevent hard water stains, mineral buildup, mold, and long-term glass degradation.
  

And since we’re a full-service company, you can combine window cleaning with other cleaning services like:

• Power Washing to brighten driveways and siding
  
• Gutter Cleaning to protect your home from water damage
  
• Outdoor Grill Cleaning and Outdoor Furniture Cleaning for a polished patio
  
• Junk Hauling and Garage Clean and Organize to declutter your space
  

With Green Army, you’re not just getting a cleaning—you’re getting a healthier, better-looking home handled by people who care.

What’s the Difference Between Window Washing and Window Cleaning?

While the terms window washing and window cleaning are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to two very different levels of service. Understanding the distinction can help you make an informed decision about what you’re getting when you hire a professional service like Green Army.

Window Washing: A Quick Rinse

Window washing is typically a surface-level job. It’s the process of spraying a cleaning solution on the glass and wiping it down, often just on the exterior. While this may seem like a quick fix, it doesn’t address the full range of needs that windows require to stay in great condition. For example, window washing doesn’t deal with dirt in window tracks, grime on the sills, or buildup on the frames.

Window Cleaning: A Thorough, Restorative Service

Window cleaning is a more comprehensive service. At Green Army, we believe in taking a deeper approach to caring for your windows, which includes:

• Interior and Exterior Glass Cleaning: We ensure that both sides of the glass are spotless and streak-free.
  
• Track and Sill Detailing: We remove dirt and debris from the window tracks and sills to prevent buildup, ensuring smoother operation and longer-lasting windows.
  
• Frame and Screen Cleaning: We clean the frames and wash or replace screens, giving your windows an all-around fresh look and feel.
  
• Protection from the Elements: Over time, dirt and hard water can damage glass, but a professional clean ensures your windows are safe from these effects.
  

Additionally, Green Army offers add-on services to give your home the ultimate refresh:

• Power Washing for the exterior of your home and driveway
  
• Gutter Cleaning to prevent water damage
  
• Outdoor Grill Cleaning and Outdoor Furniture Cleaning to maintain your outdoor living spaces
  
• Garage Clean and Organize for clutter-free storage
  

When you choose Green Army for window cleaning, you’re investing in a more thorough service that keeps your windows—and your home—looking great longer.

How Often Should Residential Windows Be Cleaned?

The frequency with which you clean your windows depends on several factors, including your home’s location, weather conditions, and lifestyle. However, a general guideline can help you maintain both the aesthetics and functionality of your windows while avoiding unnecessary buildup.

General Window Cleaning Schedule

• Exterior Windows: Every 3–6 months
  The exterior of your windows is exposed to the elements year-round, collecting dirt, dust, and debris. Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of minerals, pollen, and other environmental contaminants that can damage your glass over time. For homes near busy streets or trees, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
  
• Interior Windows: 2–3 times per year
  Interior windows don’t collect as much debris as the exterior, but fingerprints, dust, and air pollution can still leave them looking smudged. Cleaning your interior windows a few times a year will ensure they remain clear and bright.
  

Special Conditions That May Require More Frequent Cleaning

• Living Near Trees: If you have large trees near your home, the pollen, sap, and leaves can dirty your windows quickly, requiring more frequent cleaning.
  
• Coastal Areas: If you live near the coast, salt and sea air can create tough stains and require more regular cleaning to protect the integrity of the glass.
  
• High-Traffic Areas: Homes near busy streets or construction zones can accumulate dust and pollutants that cause windows to look dirty much sooner.
  

Bundle with Other Services

For an even more efficient home maintenance schedule, consider bundling your window cleaning with other Green Army services:

• Lawn Care Maintenance, including fertilization and pre-emergent treatments to maintain a pristine yard.
  
• Power Washing to keep driveways, siding, and patios clean and free of dirt.
  
• Gutter Cleaning to prevent water damage and keep your windows looking their best.
  

By establishing a routine cleaning schedule and bundling services, you ensure that your windows—and your entire home—are always in top condition, season after season.

How Long Does Professional Window Cleaning Take?

One of the great benefits of hiring a professional window cleaning service like Green Army is the efficiency with which we get the job done. We use top-of-the-line tools and trained employees (not contractors) to clean your windows quickly and thoroughly, so you can get back to enjoying your home.

Time Estimates for Different Home Sizes

• Small to Medium Homes:
  For single-story homes or smaller properties, the cleaning process typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours. This includes both interior and exterior cleaning, as well as additional detailing such as cleaning the window tracks and frames.
  
• Large or Multi-Story Homes:
  For larger properties or homes with multiple levels, the time required may range from 3 to 5+ hours. More windows, higher windows, and additional details may require extra time to ensure everything is cleaned to perfection.
  
• Additional Services:
  If you decide to add on services like power washing, gutter cleaning, or outdoor furniture cleaning, the total time will be longer, but we’ll work efficiently to ensure the job is done right. Many of our clients prefer to schedule multiple services during a single visit to maximize convenience.
  

Efficiency and Expertise

At Green Army, we pride ourselves on completing the job quickly without sacrificing quality. Our team is fully trained, and we use advanced cleaning systems designed for speed and precision. Unlike DIY cleaning, which can take hours and often requires multiple attempts to get it right, our team delivers flawless results in a fraction of the time.

Get More Done in Less Time

Since we’re a full-service company, you can combine window cleaning with other essential home services, saving you time and effort. While we’re cleaning your windows, consider scheduling:

• Power Washing for the exterior of your home, driveway, or patio
  
• Gutter Cleaning to ensure your home is protected from water damage
  
• Outdoor Grill Cleaning or Outdoor Furniture Cleaning to keep your outdoor spaces fresh
  
• Junk Hauling or Garage Clean and Organize to declutter your home
  

By bundling services, you get the most out of each visit and maximize your home’s cleanliness in less time.

Do Window Cleaners Clean Inside and Out?

Yes! At Green Army, we provide full-service window cleaning, which includes both interior and exterior cleaning to ensure your windows are spotless from every angle. We believe in delivering a comprehensive service that enhances the overall look and feel of your home.

What’s Included in Our Full-Service Window Cleaning?

• Exterior Window Cleaning:
  We tackle the outside of your windows, removing dirt, grime, and environmental contaminants like pollen, tree sap, and dust. Our team uses high-quality tools, including pure water systems, to ensure your windows are streak-free and gleaming.
  
• Interior Window Cleaning:
  We don’t stop at the exterior. Our team will carefully clean the interior of your windows, removing fingerprints, dust, and streaks, so you can enjoy clear, unobstructed views from inside your home.
  
• Detailing the Tracks and Sills:
  Many window cleaning services skip the window tracks and sills, but we don’t. These areas often collect dirt and debris, so we make sure to thoroughly clean and restore them, ensuring smooth window operation and a truly clean home.
  
• Screen Cleaning:
  If you have window screens, we’ll remove them, clean them, and re-install them, leaving them looking fresh and free from dust and cobwebs.
  

Why It’s Important to Clean Both Inside and Out

Cleaning just one side of your windows can leave your home looking incomplete. A clean exterior enhances curb appeal, but a fresh interior allows natural light to shine through, brightening up your living space. Regularly cleaning both sides of the glass not only improves the view but also helps protect your windows from wear and tear caused by dust, dirt, and moisture.

If you’re already scheduling window cleaning, why not add a few more services while we’re at your home? You can combine window cleaning with other outdoor cleaning services like:

• Power Washing for your driveway, patio, or siding
  
• Outdoor Furniture Cleaning to keep your outdoor spaces tidy
  
• Gutter Cleaning to prevent water damage to your home
  
• Junk Hauling or Garage Clean and Organize for a clutter-free environment
  

By addressing multiple areas in a single visit, you’ll save time and ensure that every part of your home is in top condition.
