Windows that is...
What a horrible job! Washing windows! Not what I want to do when I grow up!
I recently bought a house to use for rental property. Decided to take advantage of the warm day to pull all the screens, wash the filthy windows that probably haven't been cleaned in 20+ years.
Started with the pressure washer, just to get the loose dirt out of the tracks and sill, pressure washed the screens.
Then went to work on the glass... Heavily stained with hard water deposits on the outside, smoke and who knows what on the inside.
I never did find anything that would get the water deposits off. Tried Windex, foaming window cleaner, vinegar, CLR, even pink foaming acid toilet cleaner. Seems the news paper trick doesn't work like it used to, guess they changed the ink. Nothing fully cut it!
I though I had gotten them somewhat clean, until the sun started hitting them! What a horrid mess!!!
I couldn't spend any more time on it, so I put the screens back on, called it good enough.
Anyone know of any special witches brew that works? LOL
