Super Sunday

Here we are, Super Bowl Sunday already. Think we had a Super Bowl Party? Think we watched the Super Bowl? Nah.

Instead we had a Super clean-something-really-dirty Sunday.

It's been a beautiful week here. Unseasonally sunny and warm. After the gray, gloomy, rainy days when the sun starts to shine, it's easier to see things we've been missing. Things like really dirty windows.

Really dirty windows.

The bright, sunny days didn't look so great through the water spotted, smeared windows...

Or the finger streaked, chapstick kissed windows...

Or whole-face, goobered windows.

I couldn't take it anymore. I looked up a window cleaner recipe online and decided to give it a go. I mixed ammonia, vinegar and corn starch with warm water. I got myself a scrubber and a squeegee and went at the outside of those dirty windows.

After lots of hard work I could see the pay off. Clean windows!

Okay. There was still some water spots on the outside. Anyone know how to get those completely gone? What do they come from anyway? I am pleased as punch with my almost-completely clean windows.

Problem is... you can see my dirty yard now.

But I can see Walt washing the motorcycles through the clean windows. The windows are squeeky clean at this angle.

On a side note...

Walt was washing the motorcycles because he took Josh out riding yesterday. It was good for both of them to have some father-son time. And to top it off, they got to ride through some mud.

A lot of mud. They brought some home with them.

Back to the windows...

Don't they shine?

And now to wash the screens. And dust the blinds, paint the window sills, scoop the poop, clean the yard, sweep the patio ....

You know how it goes.

Wow! Those are squeeky clean windows! I'm impressed. :-)
The hard water spots can be caused by either the rain and/or your hose water.
