Take a hammer to one pane of glass and then you can clean both sides of the remaining pane of glass

As the two previous answers rightly say, the sealed unit is blown. The main two reasons for this are 1) degradation due to age & 2) Not being fitted correctly in the first place, i.e. glazed unit not stood on packers to prevent water ingress from free standing water inside frame (usually blocked drainage channels) Additionally, rare occurences of externally glazed windows where glazing clips (barbed "one-way" clips) that prevent unauthorised removal of the glass have rusted and broken the seal. Repalcement sealed units vary greatly from supplier to supplier, but a ballpark figure in my area is £100 per sq/m fitted (multiply w x h x 117.5 for final cost) There is usually a minimum charge of 0.4m/sq. Hope this helps.

p.s. you dont have to change the whole window, only the glass

Your window is 'blown', as they say. Sometimes some warm air from a hair dryer will disperse the mositure, but the only sure solution is replacement.

There is NO way to fix it; the seal is broken somewhere in your window. I have the same problem. I called a handyman to install a new window. Sorry, but that's what I was told after 4 estimates.
