Your windows do sound like a real problem, though. I too am on the third floor: the windows are the old-fashioned sash kind, and I can't get at them either.

A splosh of methylated spirits in a bucket of warm water and polished with newspaper is good for very dirty windows too. It dries shiny with no streaks.<br /><br />My problem is hopper windows which open outwards on a slant with hinge at top. Birds sit on the gutter which is on next floor up and you can guess the rest.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3576975262818571867.post-29697984054761832642011-08-17T09:32:11.843+01:002011-08-17T09:32:11.843+01:00Never mind your e-cloth.

Excellent for general cleaning and polishing.<br />In fact, Poundland is worth a visit for a lot of household products.JohnOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211044826530140430noreply@blogger.com
