Omfg!!! I have got the exact same type of windows and I've been trying to clean the bloody things from the inside....unsuccessfully! Thank you so much for tip about the little clip thingy, now I can clean these bastards without falling out of the sodding window. Cheers 🙂💛

Great video Kip 😎

Cheers for this

Top tip.

100% Thank You :)

You don't need to press the clip... once the window is opened to 90°the clip will disengage automatically then you slide it across with them nico hinges

Nice little window hack there! 😊

After having lived in Germany, I find the British windows very badly designed. Opening outwards can catch the wind/rain etc. Most German houses have windows that open inwards [tilt inwards with the top open a few inches- for ventilation, or open completely on one side so you can clean them]. My second floor windows have them here in England, why they didn't do it to the rest is beyond me [@previous owner]. They are due for a change so will incorporate the German way then.

pros and cons to both ways. e.g. opening inwards reduces the amount of usable space inside

@@BooyahBren But opening outwards = you can't clean them [depending on how they are set up] unless you hire someone [1st/2nd floor (rest of the world as America says the ground floor = 1st, so 2nd/3rd floor in AMerica] or get a ladder and then possibly injure yourself. Opening inwards [unless you are in a very very small room] takes up minimal space as you would not have furniture blocking the window. So a very lame statement.

My windows don't have that clip, but I can see the runners and I'm pondering as to how to release mine from it's present position....

Terrible system, you feel like the windows is broken. I have a silly system with this on once side and the other automatically creates that spaces for cleaning when open. So stupid.

Thanks for this fantastic and informative video. I used this trick recently to slide the window across to replace the old rubber seal on the upstairs windows. Made it a breeze 🫡
