Window Cleaner Recommendation

Hi, does anyone know of a window cleaner that goes up by ladder and does it by hand rather than the long hose and brush connected to a van? My first floor windows (regular sized terrace house) need a clean but a good clean by sponge/cloth all round the frames too that I don't think the long bristled brushes from the ground would get.

Thanks in advance!

Scanning Negatives & Using For Transparency Cyanotype

Hello - I've been working on some prints recently, one in particular I've been experimenting with that I've posted here before (different paper, toning etc). That has been from an image, which I've turned B&W, inverted then adjusted (curves wise etc) to get the best out of when it develops under a lamp.

I was wondering though, if I had one of my original 35mm B&W negs (which I know is good in terms of contrast, shadows etc etc), and I scanned it in (using a regular flatbed scanner with 35mm neg holder i.e. Epsom Perfection V370), would the direct scan of the neg (then made larger) printed onto transparent paper, be the optimum to just develop it through cyanotype without playing with it (levels, contrast etc etc)?

Or does the way cyanotype develops through a transparent image differ in terms of how a negative would expose through an enlarger?

Not sure if I explained the above very well, but hopefully its understandable.

Image I've attached is one I started working on last wknd. This one needs work as the window in the middle is too washed out, so need to modify that in my transparency print. This was toned with avocado skins.

Just realised my older Anker power bank is crazily slow at charging my Pixel 10a. Barely just keeps the charge at what it is really. I see that whatever power bank I need, needs to have power delivery or pps support? But having trouble finding a travel/portable powerbank I can just throw in my bag (similar to the Anker Power Bank PowerCore 10K) as cant find the finer detail about whether they support this fast charging the 10a needs.

I need USB-A as well on it...
Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Bit of an odd one, but we're redoing our kitchen and trying to decide on a gas hob. Apart from John Lewis, Wren & Magnet, B&Q, does anyone know where I could possibly view gas hobs on display? Majority of hobs in these places on display are induction, and the few gas ones they have aren't the ones we're trying to decide between.

Anywhere that might have a good range on display around the Bath/Bristol area?

Thanks
