Good afternoon,
I live in the top apartment of a three story building and was wondering if anyone had any useful tips on the best way to clean the outside of the windows ?
Thanks in advance
Gary

My way is to take out one of the windows, clean it front and back, then lean out, to clean the outside of the other window. Inside is easy. Then replace the window. I do not recommend it, if you are not in good shape, if you don't have safe stool/small ladder. I used to take out both windows, but I am not very strong, and I almost dropped the first window out. And of course it depends, what type of windows you have. Good luck and be safe.
I’d probably pay a window cleaner to be on the safe side.

When I'll feel the time is right, for sure I will do. It is only second floor for me, but it it's not a safe flying distance.

Robot window cleaners. Leroy Merlin and Amazon have them. Ideal for high and hard to reach windows.
Some are better than others so read the reviews.

Thanks for all the replies and thanks to marcliff, I was looking at the robot cleaners on Amazon, definitely worth checking out the reviews as you say.
I had been looking at those spongy things on poles, but somehow failed to imagine myself hanging out the window trying to manoeuvre something that looked a bit on the "bendy" side.
Thanks

Or you could just leave them mucky and pretend they are net curtains. 😂😂😂😂
