In the meantime, my folks had taken to covering them up with opaque curtains, so guests couldn’t see the light streaming in through the filthy glass.Ĭlearly, something had to be done. The last time they’d been washed was about 20 years ago. That would’ve been incredibly depressing. Still, I couldn’t very well leave the windows as they were. No, my particular situation required window washing liquid.
In retrospect, the hose would have probably smeared the dust that was baked into the glass without completely removing it. Actually, I only gave up on that plan because I didn’t think the hose could reach all the way up. I even contemplated just blasting the windows with the garden hose.
In fact, it just seemed like too much of a hassle. To be honest, looking at the 20-feet high windows at my parents’ place didn’t really inspire me to get a glass cleaner.
