Window cleaning

[Rye Miles #13621]

I have never had the windows cleaned at my house outside. I can’t get up on a ladder or actually I won’t. Anyone else get their outside windows cleaned? I’ve got 4 windows on the second floor and another 8 on the first floor including a big picture window with two side windows. Is it worth it? They’ll only get dirty again so is this a regular maintenance thing? Does Anyone else do this?
 

Thanks in advance.

Definitely a squeegee job so you don’t used 10 rolls of paper towels.

Or this

 

 

or a window robot

I’m done doing them myself. I have a squeegee but I’m done doing them. I’ve got windows on the second floor. No more ladders for me!

I'm with Rye Miles.  NO!!   A. Not worth the effort.  B.  I don't do ladders.

I bought one of these for Mrs. Lose a few years ago and our windows have never been cleaner. It’s easy to use even on most second story windows, no ladder required. My granddaughter and her husband have a 2 story house and wondered if it would work on their windows so I tried it out and it worked so well that they bought their own.

Yea pretty cool but I’d rather pay a human and keep them working.

We use Rain-X on our outside glass.

It does a great job of preventing water spots from all the rain we get.

I wish Yul's toy would work for me! My upper windows are all triangles or one tall that comes to a point and too wide to lean a ladder up there. It's pretty gross after 10 years of not being cleaned! Bet it's pricey to have somebody do it for me!! Not overly fond of ladders either now that I'm a one armed bandit!

I got a price for 12 windows, OUTSIDE ONLY for $315. That includes 4 second floor windows. That’s about the going price around here . It’s about $26 a window and that also includes a big picture window.🪟

That actually seems pretty reasonable, thanks. I'd be happy to just get the upper ones done! All the lowers tilt in, so could be done from inside.
