Is there something I can buy that will stretch out to clean second floor windows from outside the house?

Do your windows not open inside? Or is it a picture window?

they do but it's hard to reach all parts.

Go Clean Co recommends the Aquablade for all windows: https://www.oceansales.us/prod.....r-kit

She had a post/story somewhere over the summer about cleaning exterior windows from the ground but I can't find it on her IG at the moment.

If your windows open inward, its much easier to wash from inside. It's very hard to do it from 20 ft below.

They open outward, so it's hard to get to the other side.

So similar question for my windows. The open upwards. Live on 2nd floor apartment. But there is a screen on the outside!! I am so sick of seeing grime but is there any hope besides hiring someone to take down the screens and clean it? I tried gently sticking a cloth up there between the glass and the screen but couldn't get up more than a few inches.

Consider a magnetic window cleaner?

I know people that use similar for fish tanks. You slip one side with a squeegee onto the outside of the window and put the inside piece on magnetically. When you move the inside the outside moves too.

does the outside part come on a stick? How do you attach it to a second floor outside window?

You stand inside the house.
Open the window.
Through the open window, spray the outside of the glass with cleanser.
Hold the inside piece on the bottom of the inside glass.
Reach your hand through the open window and magnetically attach the outside piece to the outside of the glass.
Move the inside piece.
The outside piece will wipe the outside of the glass.

But we have a screen? Would it still work?

I tried this once, it didn’t work at all. Not sure if just got a bad one but I’m going to try the extending one listed above.

does this also work for cleaning indoor, tall walls and ceilings that I can't reach even with a ladder?

If 30 feet is long enough for you (the other one is an extra 6 feet/72 inches)
