turps

I figured out a neat window-washing trick a while back. Use a clean sponge mop (like for floors) for washing windows -- first pass, kind of wet, second pass, squeezed dry.

I looked on Amazon UK and found this model with a telescoping handle. That -- or probably any model sponge mop -- would make it easier to reach, and help avoid falling-off-ladder accidents. Good luck.

And I do NOT understand why thoughtless hooligans have their "fun" by making someone else work. I wish they could be caught and put to community service cleaning up such messes made by other people; after about 100 hours, I bet they'd never want to deface someone else's property again.
