sorry the small glass is fixed, the window slides, no problem when trad as a squeegie fits and scrim to clean behind the small piece of glass, at minute I just spray water behind the screen best I can and I can't clean behind the small screen

thats how i did these ones, but had to use a long angle adaptor on my pole to get the adaptor down behind the glass,

she has had 4-5 different window cleaners and i was the only one that has managed to clean behind them!
there is only about 2-3cm gap at the bottom so cant get anything up it, you had to work from the top down!

yeah that would work, sod It I will keep doing it as I am at the moment they haven't complained in 4 years ;D just thought I would ask as I noticed last time I did inside they were not perfect, not that the customer did, just me. I cleaned them up properly from the inside at the time but I only do insides about once every two years

as long as they are happy thats the main thing!

i dont know why these peopel have to design thes things really, makes it hard to clean, but guess they never think of that, as long as it looks good they dont care! leave it to the poor guys that have to clean them to get round the problem!
