Second Story Window? No Problem! (Easy Cleaning Hack)
Quick Summary
This video reveals a clever hack for washing all surfaces of a sliding window, including those on a second story, entirely from inside the house. You will learn how to easily remove the screen and, crucially, how to lift the sliding window pane completely out of its frame after sliding it open all the way. Knowing this is important because it allows you to safely clean the usually unreachable outside surface of the fixed pane and the difficult-to-access inside surface of the moving pane, ensuring a sparkling, clean window.
