Most windows have two of these, one at the top and one at the bottom. You need to press both of these grooved tabs (top and bottom) down then you can open the window fully as the mechanism will be able to slide further along. You can see this in the images below, the first is the window without the easy clean tabs depressed, and the second shows how far the window can open once you’ve activated them.

This makes the window very easy to clean! Wash the glass with a wet cloth or sponge, and dry thoroughly. If you have a squeegee work from the top of the glass to the bottom. Don’t ever reach too far out of a window – be aware you could fall!

When you’ve finished cleaning you need to click the window back to it’s original position. You do this by putting one hand on the handle and the other opposite on the frame. pull the hinge side back to where it was originally, you might find it easier to fully close the window. When the tabs have re-engaged you should hear a small click. Now when you open the window it should look like the picture above on the left. Make sure both tabs have clicked back and the pane is straight.

Now you can wash the inside of your windows with clean water. If you would like to wash the window frames this should also be done with warm soapy water. Please don’t use anything abrasive on your window frames as you can damage the surface.
