wfp or trad?
Actually I assume wfp.
If theyre new then you shouldnt have a problem with them, as they shouldnt leak from between the 2 sashes and shouldnt also be covered in cobwebs.
If you want to be sure you do a good job, do the top sash first on all the upstairs windows and then go along and do the bottom sash of the up stairs windows, starting with the first that you did and continue to do them in the order that you did the top sash in. Rinse on the glass to help to prevent splashes contaminating the glass from the runners etc where cobwebs, dust etc can collect.
Then go along and do the same on the downstairs ones.

trad

I think it depends how big the actual window frame is. If you can get a 10" squeegee that fits each pain, then i reckon it is quicker to clean them as a normal window. Applicator , squeegee then buff with a scrim.
If the pains are smaller then damp scrim and dry scrim, with a spray bottle.
No different to a normal window really apart from they carry a premium price due to the extra work involved.

I have a couple but they don't have all the little frames, just two pains on each. If trad are they too high up and are you going to turn them in. Or can you get to them off a ladder.

i do a few sash's wfp
never had a problem.
dont try and clean what you cant see, by that i mean just do the glass and sides of the lower section, dont try and do a mint job of the frames where they meet in the middle.
but you shouldn't have a problem if they are new. the upvc sash's that are around now are easier to clean.
