We’re gonna go out on a limb and say that generally speaking, chores suck. (Bold, we know.) But the process of washing windows is particularly aggravating when you factor in unsteady ladders and having to go outside to thoroughly clean both sides of the glass. 

It’s no wonder the average person spends $266 on a full house’s worth of window cleaning, according to one survey of Angie’s List members. Dropping cash to have a professional do it is way more appealing than doing the tedious work yourself. 

Actually, scratch that. Cleaning your windows doesn’t have to be expensive or labor-some — after all, the Glider exists. 

Ideal for hard-to-reach windows, this ingenious magnetic cleaner is one of the only safe ways to simultaneously scrub both sides of windows wider than your arm’s length without going outside to get the job done.

Check it out:

To use the Glider, simply spray cleaning solution on both sides of the window, then grasp its larger half inside and swipe it down your panes to clean and dry the glass in one swift motion. If you encounter some particularly stubborn dirt, just use the included pair of microfiber cloths to scrub it away. (And don’t be afraid to put some back into it — they’ll maintain their cleaning properties for up to 300 washes!)

A $48 value, you can take an extra 15% off the Glider’s $40 sale price by visiting the Mashable Shop and entering the code MERRY15 at checkout (bringing the price to just $34).
