Clean windows on 1st floor

Poppycat

Firstly its never been a issue of cleaning windows in my old 2 up 2 down terraced with tilt and turn windows. I moved house in Feb and have more glass to clean than last house

Front: 1 Porch with 3 sides and door. One large bay window (two front windows, two sides) Two sets on windows at front bedroom.

Side: one large window upstairs landing/stairs (can access via garage but been told not to use garage roof as it wears the roofing down)

Rear: Two large patio doors and large round window. Kitchen large windows

Bathroom: one small window at side, double window at back

Bedroom 3: one double window.

I struggle to clean the top tried a wilko's sponge thing with wiper blade on a sticky that worked less than 1 minutes before sponge falls out (I dont recommend those they are useless)

I got a cleaning thing on 3.5 metres stick from Argos that was useless two, I lost my rage with it and dropped on it floor and it broke the wiper. Every time I increased the height the top rod would slip down and wouldn't tighten up. I never actually managed to clean any windows up stairs yet and cant afford a window cleaner.

Wickes are selling a kit i got one last weekend, comes with various attatchments and the head can be angled £9.99 alot better than the previous kit i had which was like the Argos one, you can even attatch a hosepipe to the end if you wish

I got a pole from B&Q, it extends in three sections to 3.5M. It is far stronger than those flimsy washing things.

Regarding the magnetic gadget mentioned earlier, a gentleman was giving one away on freecycle in my area, apparently they aren't any good for double glazed windows.

the one i referred to in earlier post had one for single glazed windows and a stronger one(blue)for double glazed windows which had an extra strong magnet
