          Windows so clean you’ll be the first
        
        
          
            With a squeegee,
          
        
        
          
            it sure makes
          
        
        
          
            short work.
          
        
        
          What a nice day.
        
        
          The windows are
        
        
          sure dirty. Bet the
        
        
          fish are biting.
        
        
          Hmmm...

          Midwesterners, summer and
        
        
          warm weather is the perfect time
        
        
          to play and have fun outdoors. Fall
        
        
          shifts thoughts more toward work
        
        
          and the coming winter. You know
        
        
          there are chores you should be
        
        
          doing, yet you still want to enjoy
        
        
          what remains of more comfortable
        
        
          weather.
        
        
          IF
        
        
          What’s good to know is that there are tricks and
        
        
          shortcuts to get some of that work done with less
        
        
          time and energy, and maybe still get in a little more
        
        
          play.
        
        
          Soon we will all be captivated by colorful leaves
        
        
          and their falling flurry, and not long after, snow will
        
        
          be in the forecast. Maybe you are one who likes to
        
        
          be first to see that first flake fall. If this is you, then
        
        
          you probably have windows on your list of chores.
        
        
          Let’s talk windows. Everyone likes clean windows to
        
        
          see out when the cold pushes us inside. If you’ve ever
        
        
          been disappointed in the results of your hard labor
        
        
          after cleaning windows, then we have good news for
        
        
          you. With the right tools and technique, window
        
        
          cleaning can be a snap, and you will get great results
        
        
          at little cost.
        
        
          Once you experience how easy this is, you may even
        
        
          want to clean your windows more often.
        
        
          Clean, streak-free windows start with a cleaning solu-
        
        
          tion, proper application and then, most important,
        
        
          the removal of the dirty solution and a quick touchup

          The process is simple.
        
        
          First, work from top windows to bottom windows.
        
        
          Take a sponge, dip it in your solution, wring lightly
        
        
          and wipe window.
