I moved into my first two story home and need help on how to clean the second story windows that do not come out or tilt in. I have been spoiled by always owning a ranch with tilt in windows and now I am at a loss.
What is the best streak free method someone might have? Any help is welcome because by the looks of it the previous owners didn't have a clue either.
I second the motion on the Windex Outdoor Window Cleaner. It worked very well on my Cape Cod style house's 15 windows and 3 doors. It also did a good job of cleaning the patio furniture before the winter put away. A product which lives up to its advertising claims is rare, but this one gets the job done.
Use a product called Windex Outdoor Window Cleaner. The container fits on the end of a garden hose. Simply spray your windows from ground level. Just follow the instructions on the container.
The windows will air dry streak free. No ladders to climb.

Request: Cleaning Windows That Are Difficult to Reach
Archived on 10/06/2009
I have 4 picture windows on the front of, and on the top story of my, 1 1/2 story, house, that do not open. I can not reach the bottom without an 8 ft. ladder and reaching the top is almost impossible. Is there an easy way to clean windows by spraying them with a hose? A home remedy would be most preferable if possible. Any suggestions?

RE: Cleaning Windows That Are Difficult to Reach
I know you said home remedy, but I do know that Windex makes a deal that goes on the end of a hose. I use it to clean my second story windows and also the patio. I would think that once you use it, you could fill it with a dishwashing detergent/vinegar solution? I know it works pretty well, cuz I aint climbing a ladder to get to these windows. (05/21/2007)
I use Windex Outdoor to do my windows. It comes in a bottle that goes on the end of your hose and sprays a long reaching stream. It works great, is easy, and no, the Windex doesn't harm my plants under the windows. It also sprays quite a ways up so should do your windows very nicely.
I haven't used mine up yet, but when I do I'm going to try different "homemade" window cleaners using the same bottle.
