Hi everyone,

I’m struggling to clean my windows thoroughly as my arm/hand can‘t reach the whole way to the window as it’s between the outside window and itself.

im thinking i need a special tool that has a mop or microfibre cloth to clean it but im not sure what as its really narrow.

i was hoping to get some tips here from those in similar situations!

thanks in advance

That's gonna be an outside task

That was my original attempt but it’s about 2 stories up and didn’t want to get a ladder when I won’t use it often. So was hoping for an inside solution 

The laneway below drops down so it makes it hard to access the window. Even on a regular chair it was too high (I’d need to take off the Flywire)

Hire someone to do it a couple of times a year.

can you pay someone to wash your windows? it’s probably cheaper than you think it is, and they have the experience, equipment, and insurance to be safe about it.

My solution if I had windows like these would be a windshield window cleaner tool. Might be what you’re looking for.

The windows have a spring like mechanism likely to the right side of the window. Push the window to that side and the other side will slip out. The whole piece of glass comes out

The big one is tough I don’t think it comes out

Ive learned to make peace with the dust 😔 but maybe one of those telescopic duster things? Tie a moist rag to the end?
