But they're not inventions really are they, Einstein; they're just gaffer tape bodge-ups with a Fairy liquid bottle and a Cornflakes box you've copied from one of the credible window cleaner supply companies that you and your shed think you are.

I had this problem on inside stairway glass that was attached the same way. Not found a solution yet. Unfortunately the window cleaner that did the builders clean before I got the job never put a cloth down to stop any drips going in through the gap. The gap is only a couple of mm deep so I'm thinking even if something thin enough could go through you could never get enough pressure to push against the glass to clean.

I would probably use a cloth that side rather than a squeegee to save all the drips going down .

Offer a tinting service and tint the glass the same colour to match its background.

Job jobbed.  ;D

There is no money in cleaning stuff like this so wouldn’t take it on , in the past we got good results using damp microfibre and thin bamboo cane

I do some like that, I just fill the gap with a scrim to stop any dirty drips, then clean as normal. You ain't gonna clean down that gap!!

What do you reckon happened next , they left them to get dirty or someone else was able to do it (at whatever cost)  ?

It all depends what you call good money , for us doing stuff like that would cost us a fortune  we do a lot of very well priced commercial and domestic  it just doesn’t pay and isn’t worth the hassle ,maybe you are happy doing this type of job that’s fine crack on .
