Are you struggling to clean those high-up windows? Jumping up and trying to reach them may not have helped, but we certainly can.

Lucky for you, you no longer have to wonder how to clean exterior windows. We have assembled a few ways to get to those hard to reach windows. Let’s jump in.

Can You Detach Your Windows?

This may be new information to many but it’s true, some windows can detach. This method only works with sliding windows however, as they’re the only ones that can come off.

Once you take them out, you can clean them with ease. Of course, just be prepared, because the glass will be heavier than it looks. Also, make sure you remembered how you removed the window.

The U-Shaped Telescopic Pole

This one tool could easily solve all your window cleaning problems. Depending on what brand you select, some of these poles can extend up 55 inches, easily taking care of those hard to reach places.

The U-shaped telescopic pole really shines exclusively in apartments. Since it’s U-shaped, it’s meant to be held from the interior while the cleaning part is outside. Don’t worry though, there is a solution for that!

The Classic Ladder and Bucket

Yes, the American classic, the ladder. For the high up exterior windows, a ladder is a viable option. Simply place the ladder, have your cleaning supplies ready, and then climb up and start cleaning.

The downside to ladders is you generally need a level surface to place them on or else you run a high risk of falling to the ground. Depending on how sturdy and heavy your ladder is, wind could also prove a problem.

Believe it or Not, Use a Mop

We know this sounds crazy, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Using your mop to reach the tall windows can prove effective if done correctly.

Simply invest in a new, clean mop head, and prepare your cleaning solution, and start mopping away. Be warned, however, as this can be a long and arduous process. You have to wet and ring the mop first, and then you have to clean the window vertically, which is surprisingly more difficult than washing it normally, and then you have to repeat the process.

Because of the possibility of the mop water falling on to your face or your arms getting tired very quickly, here is probably your best option.
