Cleaning Windows

I know this sounds a bit daft but can anybody tell me how I can clean my windows? We have grills on the windows that are shaped like sun rays and cleaning them is a time consuming job and it's a good way of skinning my knuckles. Thanks

Same as mine. Don’t they open inwards? Mine do

If you have the sliding windows, like most places around here do, you can remove the window completely. Just lift the window up by holding onto both sides and it comes away from the bottom slide. Then pop the window out for cleaning. When replacing, put the top part on the slide first then lower the bottom bit into the bottom slide.

If they are the sliding type then they should be able to be taken out to clean. I know our neighbours do that regularly and my husband has taken ours out a few times to clean.

PS snap..lol...marcliff just beat me to it and he has said how to do it too.

Thanks for your quick replies guys, ours are sliding windows so I'll take them out and I can also paint the grills as well. No more skinned knuckles that look like I've been hitting bricks. I knew I'd get an answer but I didn't think it would be that quick!

Quick tip. Don’t struggle with a paint brush. Use a sponge dipped in paint and do all round the grill at same time. Easy Peasy.

It gets better and better, thanks for that tip Benjy.

Before you take out the window make sure you loosen the screw where the black plastic piece is at the top of the window panel then when you replace the window push up the plastic ans tighten the screw that keeps it firmly in the slides
