Pay a neighbor kid to crawl inback there. They are small enough.
Or an Auto Detailer service will do it for you. Or a long stick with
a sponge on the end. I am sure that if you go back to the stealership
and ask your salesperson they would be glad to clean it for
you. Kinda build a relationship with your salesperson, they are
good for all sorts of stealership perks. Just mention needing a
couple more Ford vehicles for your soon to be of driving age twins.
Other that physically climbing in the back seat and leaning over
backwards, the only other option I see would be to remove the
rear glass, clean it and then reinstall it. How do you clean your
back glass, forum?
Sorry, wrong side of the bed syndrome today.

I use a http://www.restockit.com/Sanitary-Standard-Squeegee-22-Head--(PM55AUNGER)---TOP-SELLER!.html with a paper towel over it after spraying soap/water mixure on my windows. Gives you an extra 1.5 ft or reach if you are holding a good chunk of it even. Thats what I recommend.

Don't clean it.
In 2 years you will have a free tint job!

But just in case you're a smoker or just want a clean car, it's easiest to get all the way into the back. Don't try leaning around the seat. There are plenty of window wipes that will let you clean it without having to worry about getting spray on everything.

How about folding the rear seats down, opening the trunk and sliding in on your back. Use whatever you use on the rest of them.

Just get on your knees in the back seat and clean it like normal.
