    We are staying at current place from last 4 years from that time my neighbour is disturbing us. We stay at 6th floor and neighbour at 7th floor. Earlier it was like in a day time the lady used to wash her windows everyday. Yes, wash the windows everyday with a bucket full of water. We don't have balcony but a little space to keep the plants.

    Now in the starting i informed here about the water at my place. She said okay i will not throw water. But still till date she washes the windows everyday. I requested her many times but now she says i don't throw water anymore. I can understand washing the windows once a while but not everyday.
    The water makes dirty my windows my plants. I can't keep anything outside.

    Every time i had told her calmly but she don't understands.

    Please suggest what to do.

    If she has been doing that for 4 years, that too everyday, then she maybe a creature of habit. That's gonna be tough to change. Have seen my own mom, mil, some friends n relatives with characters like these, its almost impossible to change.

    Can you put a window shade there? Have seen many people do that to protect from sun too. That way you can start using your space again without worrying about her.

    Because I dobut anything can be done legally or by resident association for washing windows.

    N what can you argue with a lady that's already saying she's not doing it ?

    Is it own house, can't you complain to owner or association.

    If it's rented you or that lady might vacate n problem solved. If it's own you can take some action and complain.

    Also make your husband talk to her husband.

    It's a crazy problem. I think she has a obsessive compulsive disorder. Maybe talking with her husband should help

    I personally hv my balcony glass n windows cleaned every day, albeit with duster as they don’t need to be washed so often, ... actually then I think your neighbour must have some way to remove the water marks which is a cumbersome exercise. The glass is washed once every week. Perhaps if u can gift her the sponge with the scraper which you dip into water n scrape off the excess. This actually cleans very well. You neither have water wastage nor do you create inconvenience for others. Talking to her is obviously useless... I hope she will b thankful to you for not only the gift but also showing her way to conserve water n have cleaner glass windows
