push it closed with your pole and brush but be careful not to break the glass. if it s too stiff then clean it carefully trying not to drench the room 9 times out of ten they will close but occasionally they are too stiff to close

Be careful not to break your pole. I have broken mine doing this. If I get resistance now I just clean them open..... Carefully.

I have a few custys that live in 3 storey town houses, that have sash windows, and  often leave the lower sash open, so i txt the night before asking to ensure all windiws are closed

i have washed a sash window before while the bottom was open i wont do that again i hope lol i couldnt see from the ground , i put the brush where i thought the glass was and realised it was open must of got it pretty wet inside no complaints luckily . at the time i thought theres bound to be a laptop / tv or something that could do without water on it

Be careful not to push too hard as some may have a cheap security stay and these break very easily especially if only one side has a stay (it happened too me).
It is easy enough to clean an opened window, just be careful where the water is directed.
