When you think about having your windows professionally cleaned, you probably imagine a sparkling view of the outdoors, sunshine flooding in, and a fresh, polished look to your home or business. But not all window cleaning is the same — in fact, there are two distinct services involved: interior and exterior window cleaning.
At Blue Ocean Window Cleaning, we believe informed customers make the best choices. That’s why we’re breaking down the key differences between these two services and why both are essential for truly spotless windows.
1. What Is Exterior Window Cleaning?
Exterior window cleaning focuses on the outside-facing glass of your windows — the part most exposed to the elements. Over time, windows accumulate:
- Dirt and dust
- Hard water stains
- Bird droppings
- Pollen and pollution
- Salt spray (especially near coastal areas)
How We Clean It:
Our team uses specialized tools, including water-fed poles, pure water systems, and eco-friendly cleaners designed to lift and remove stubborn grime without leaving streaks or residue. Ladders or lift systems may be used for multi-story buildings.
Why It Matters:
Clean exterior glass improves curb appeal, allows more natural light into your space, and prevents long-term damage from mineral build-up or corrosive contaminants.
2. What Is Interior Window Cleaning?
Interior window cleaning deals with the inside-facing surface of your windows — the part that collects smudges, dust, and fingerprints from everyday life. Think:
- Greasy fingerprints (especially from little hands or pets!)
- Dust buildup
- Smoke or cooking residue
- Water spots from inside condensation
How We Clean It:
We take extra care indoors, using drop cloths, shoe covers, and non-toxic, low-odor products to protect your furnishings while achieving a streak-free shine. We’re mindful of your space and always leave it cleaner than we found it.
Why It Matters:
Dirty interior glass can dull your view just as much as the outside. It also affects the amount of light that gets in — making your home or office feel dimmer or less inviting.
3. Why You Need Both for Truly Clean Windows
While it might be tempting to clean just the outside of your windows for a quick visual boost, skipping the interior side means you’re only getting half the benefit. Smudges, dust, and foggy film on the inside can still cloud your view, even if the exterior is spotless.
Think of it like cleaning both sides of your glasses — only then do you get perfect clarity.
4. Frequency Recommendations
Here’s what we typically recommend:
- Exterior Cleaning: 2–4 times per year, depending on weather, location, and environmental factors.
- Interior Cleaning: 1–2 times per year, or more often in high-traffic homes or businesses.
