    Default cleaning the inside back glass

    I am looking for an easier way to clean the glass in the back of my tank. I have a 110 gallon and I have to use a step ladder to reach the bottom of the front and sides. But reaching the center of the back glass is a pain. Is there any type of wide pad on a long stick or something of that sort so I don't had to reach as far? The glass cleaners that I have used in the past that comes with extension wands, the pads aren't all that good; they are very soft sponges. I am looking for something with a scrubber pad on it.

    thanks,
    Jim

    I use some tools I got from Amazon. The highlighted pad I removed and in its place I glued a MR clean magic eraser so I can use in my acrylic tanks. Also it's telescopic so it can reach farther.

    At my age, everything is irritating.
