Quick answer
What window cleaning does Citywide provide?
Citywide Maintenance Services provides exterior window washing for storefronts and low-rise commercial buildings in Manhattan and across New York City, along with interior glass cleaning: windows, glass partitions, conference room walls, entrance doors, mirrors and display cases. For taller buildings and high-rise facades, Citywide confirms what is in scope during an on-site walkthrough.
Storefront glass is your first impression
On a Manhattan street, the storefront is the sign, the display and the welcome all at once. City dust, rain spatter, fingerprints on the door and smudges at child height build up quickly, and dirty glass makes even a well-merchandised window look neglected. For boutiques and showrooms, clean glass is part of the brand. Restaurants and salons face the same scrutiny from the sidewalk.
Citywide’s clients have included luxury fashion and beauty brands, where presentation is judged daily. Storefront window washing is usually scheduled early in the morning or after closing, so glass is clean when doors open and crews are not working around customers.
- Before opening or after closing
- Doors, frames and sills included
- One-time or recurring
Exterior window washing
For storefronts and low-rise commercial properties, exterior window cleaning typically covers the glass customers see and touch first:
- Storefront display windows
- Entrance doors, push plates and door glass
- Transoms and glass above the entrance within safe reach
- Window frames, sills and mullions
- Ground-floor and lower-level office windows
- Removing tape residue, stickers and old signage marks where safe to do so
Interior glass, inside and out
Modern offices and stores use far more interior glass than they used to, and it shows every mark.
Glass partitions
Office fronts, conference room walls and glass doors cleaned of fingerprints and streaks.
Interior windows
The inside face of exterior windows, sills and ledges, often included in regular office cleaning.
Display cases
Jewelry, cosmetics and product cases cleaned carefully so merchandise is seen clearly.
Mirrors and fitting rooms
Mirrors in fitting rooms, salons, gyms and restrooms kept spotless between visits.
What is in scope
Window work varies a great deal with building height and access, so we are specific about it:
| Type of glass | How we handle it |
|---|---|
| Storefronts and street-level glass | Exterior and interior cleaning on a regular or one-time schedule |
| Low-rise commercial windows | Exterior washing where windows can be reached safely; confirmed at walkthrough |
| Interior glass and partitions | Included in office cleaning or scheduled as a separate visit |
| Taller buildings and high-rise facades | Scope, access method and feasibility confirmed during the walkthrough |
How often should commercial windows be cleaned?
Storefront glass on a busy Manhattan block often needs attention far more often than upper-floor office windows. Shops and restaurants commonly have entrance glass and display windows cleaned weekly or more, while office interiors are maintained as part of routine cleaning and exterior windows are washed periodically. Weather, construction nearby and how much your business depends on street presentation all affect the right schedule.
We recommend a frequency after the walkthrough and can add window cleaning to an existing office cleaning program, pair it with sidewalk and entrance power washing, or schedule it before an opening, an event or a seasonal display change. Combining visits means fewer vendors on site and one schedule to manage.
Who is on your sidewalk
Window cleaning puts our staff in front of your customers and inside your store. Every Citywide crew member is a Citywide employee, background-checked, trained in our procedures and in uniform. We do not subcontract any of our work. Citywide is bonded and carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and we use environmentally friendly products in all of our work.
In a multi-tenant building, we also coordinate with building management on access, hours and any rules for work at the entrance or on the sidewalk, and we provide insurance paperwork when the building asks for it. That keeps the work approved, predictable and out of the way of your neighbors and the building’s other vendors.

Do you clean high-rise windows?
Exterior work on taller buildings depends on height, access and the building's equipment and requirements. Citywide confirms what is in scope during an on-site walkthrough rather than quoting high-rise facade work sight unseen.
Can you clean storefront windows before we open?
Yes. Citywide crews are available around the clock, so storefront glass is usually cleaned early in the morning or after closing, before customers arrive.
Is interior window cleaning included in office cleaning?
Interior windows and glass partitions are part of Citywide's standard office cleaning scope. Larger glass areas or exterior washing can be scheduled as separate visits.
Can you remove stickers and paint from new glass?
Yes, where it can be done without scratching the glass or damaging coatings. After a fit-out, this is usually handled as part of post-construction cleaning.
Do you offer recurring window cleaning?
Yes. Window cleaning can be scheduled weekly, monthly or on another regular rotation, or booked one time before an event or reopening.
Do you work in multi-tenant buildings with strict vendor rules?
Yes. We review the building's vendor requirements, access hours and insurance paperwork during onboarding. Citywide is bonded and carries full liability and workers' compensation insurance.
