annual easter sunday window cleaning jag

I don't like it when hobbitt's up on a ladder. I don't like it at all. He's careful, always, but it still puts the fear in me.


Then I started to notice now amazing the glass looked. As in: clear. These windows hadn't been cleaned in 2 years, and I think you can figure out why. The lower window was done first. The difference is striking. When the outside was finished, neither of us could believe how crappy the view had been before.


We used these micro sham cloths. There was absolutely NO streaking. All we needed was water. That's right. No ammonia, no vinegar, no soap or detergent of any kind. Just water.

It almost made the job fun. For the record, I cleaned all the safe-height inside windows. hobbitt did the lion's share of the work. He's a prince.

When we were done, he popped open a bottle of champagne to toast the new view.

I talked the painters into washing our high up windows while they are painting. Really. I did. I don't think they are used to the request but they didn't balk or charge extra.

I don't mind getting up on the ladders at all. In fact I painted my parents house when I was 3 -4 months pregnant.

next time, call me! and thanks for the introduction to the microsham.

Looks beautiful! And yes; he is a prince.

Befitting consort to a queen, in fact.
