In the past I've used a washing-up-liquid bottle with a short length
of plastic hose on, to slip through the gap between the top and bottom
sashes when the top one is opened slightly, to wash the bottom window.

I think I'd take the sash out. You should just be able to remove one
vertical section of the staff bead and lift it out

Except that if it wasn't designed to open, it ain't going to lift out!
