cleaning the hard to reach outside of your windows

My window cleaner now comes round with a massive tank of water and uses a long pole with a T think just pouring it out on to the windows, makes a good job of it but what a waste -

we had our hinges changed on our windows so instead of opening on a say 45 degree angle they now open like a door, really wide and also can click a little button on the hinge and the open window slides so can easily get my hand and arm through the gap to clean it. but for the bigger window i open it wide and sit out on the window ledge and put a cloth on the mop ( i twist off the mop head first tho) and then clean this way. although my postie was very concerned for me when he saw me doing this ( he a family friend) but said . what can i say i'm just like my mum,lol. nothing gets in my way when i need to clean . i come up with all sorts of inventions. lo.

here, building regs are different to England
windows on new builds or newly fitted windows NEED to be able to open fully so cleaning is easy

having said that (and i have a window cleaner)
last year they were dirty, i was outside pressure washing the path
noticed windows were grubby

hmmmmmmmm

turned it on one window
as the water went across the building and onto the window
it took a lot of the rough cast stuff off:eek:

not amused
serves me right for being lazy

Can anyone recommend a useful gadget for cleaning the upstairs windows?

there was an older thread asking the same question
