4675636b596f75 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 If you look closely at the right window pane, you'll see I cleaned the right side of the window. There is no way to clean the left pane of that same window. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Does the inner pane come out of the frame? Lift and pull the bottom inwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my suckass view through dirty windows just looks worse. What you see, are micro-micro condos of only 23sqm. Since these nudniks haven't figured out how to build closets, they use their balconies like a closet. It's not pretty. I have a quote to replace the entire window but it's 23,000b. Not sure how long they will remain clean. Also have someone who will hang from the roof on one rope to clean the outside windows. That solution is only 800b.

CharlieH Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 As suggested above use a magnetic window cleaner. Easy to get on Lazada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazar Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 there should be some screws on those inner frames and if you remove them you can slide left to right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSky Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Why do you want clean windows they would stand out like a sore thumb in Bangkok.???? There must be some way to take the window out of the frame. Have a look around the edges of the window to see if there is a screw to adjust how it sits in the frame, maybe adjust it to remove the window. Although a dust cloth and a coat hanger might be just the trick. (or find someone with very long arms) ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonjelly Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 That will come out if you push up and pull lower half out; it’s how they put them in and it’s how they are removed; I seriously doubt that the frame was installed with the glass already in place, give it another go Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emptypockets Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 As Crossy said, the sliding window should lift out. It should also be the 'inside' window. Looks like yours have been fitted incorrectly. Remove the whole frame and turn around, then the slider should lift out towards the inside of the room with the window in the fully open position.. The slider will probably lift out as is, but you will be lifting it very awkwardly, assuming you can grip it in the first place, and run the risk of dropping however many storeys you are up, to the ground. If you can't do (reverse the window fitting) that yourself, hire a local who can. It's not that hard to do. Edit to add: Do both windows slide or is one fixed? My response was based on the assumption one was fixed and one a slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen it already. In our old <deleted> condo the one with rats and a destroyed pool, one day my son called from the bedroom to tell me that a man was hanging by a rope outside the window. We were on the 25th floor. Since my son doesn't make up stories, I went to the balcony to see a Thai man hanging from one rope with no safety equipment. He was tasked with checking the windows. The rope was long enough to reach the ground. I sure hope they checked that before going over the roof edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he checking floor by floor or was he on his way down to check a dirty pane on the 11th ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
