Well, that
didn’t take
long. And,
there’s
still plenty
of time to
fish.
Some additional tips
Buy a good-quality squeegee. These are the ones with
thin rubber blades that you can easily change when
they get worn. Flip the blade over for extra wear.
Squeegees come in a wide range of widths. Get one
that fits the size of the windowpanes. If you have vast-
ly different sizes of windows, give yourself permission
to have more than one squeegee. They are worth their
small cost of a few dollars up to $20-ish for the largest
blades or ones with fancy brass holders.
If you should happen to put off doing this task until
cold weather sets in and the temperature is freezing,
add a little windshield wiper fluid to your solution.
Change solutions when dirty.
Now, turn on your favorite dance tunes and get mov-
ing. It will make the time fly so fast, you’ll be sorry
when you are done that you are done. Just keep danc-
ing anyway. And, be happy looking out your clean
windows. You’ll be the first to clearly see the snow fly.
Homemade window-washing solutions
White vinegar is recommended where vinegar is
called for. Water should be warmed, and using
distilled, filtered or reverse osmosis water is the
better choice.
Vinegar removes hard water spots. A little dish
soap acts as a surfactant to remove plain dusty
dirt.
