Wfp outside, but rinse very well as dirt gets trapped behind these bars, inside trad but use a well rung out mop..

Hope this helps

I have done loads of inside cleans but these are small square pain in the ass windows.

As with many things some times the guys that have been doing it longer know of easier ways of doing things.

If you think they are a pain in the ass you want to come and clean my windows I have 32 panes of glass in the living room window .

You need to trad them I would estimate each square is 10 x10 inches get a 12" channel and chop it down . Mike

If they're that small just get a scrim or microfibre and give them a wipe. If they're fairly dirty a small dab on the glass with your applicator.
I've got a row of small cottages I still do trad like this, its very quick and comes up a treat. ;D

For the insides of those style houses i just use a damp/wet microfibre to clean and a dry 1 to polish off and job done, outsides are easy with wfp as long as they are upvc and not wooden framed. Im surprised to see a window cleaner asking how to clean windows lol.

cut a squeegee down to size and use the end of the applicator to wet the glass

Take the applicator sleeve off, fold it in half and use it cloth, sponge etc. Keep it wet- but not too wet- with a small Fairy bottle of solution. It also means you can get right into the corners, then blade off with a smallish squeegee. A six or eight inch should be ok.
