Dirty Windows absolutely drive me crazy.
I love clean “looks like they aren’t there” windows. But as much as I love all 33 plus windows in my house, I loathe washing them. I suppose you can say I suffer from Window Washing Avoidance Syndrome, aka WWAS .
Common symptoms:
Maybe Next Year – 72 % of us think we should clean our windows at least once a year but only 42 % of us do it.
I’d Rather Be … – 48% of us would rather clean the toilet or
shower than the windows.Feeling The Pain – 38% of us avoid outdoor window cleaning
altogether because of the time and effort the task requires.
Do you suffer from WWAS??
Last year we paid a professional over $300 to wash all our windows, and yes … I’m hiding my face in embarrassment, but I’m happy to say that it will never happen again.
Windex has cured my WWAS.
Windex Outdoor All-In-One window cleaner is a new, different and I might add, a fabulous invention. As pictured on the box, it includes a pole (five sections that fit together) with a head the cleaning pads attach to. According to the box, one cleaning pad will clean twenty windows.
I was more than skeptical but determined to give it a go.
After I squirted the windows with the garden hose, NY, along our 3-year old grand daughter, wiped them down with the water-activated cleaning pad. We were even able to clean the upper windows. The handle of the cleaning pole is threaded for the easy attachment of an extension pole.
After the windows were soapy, I simply came back with the garden hose and gave them a good rinse. We all stood back and watched the amazing (it really was) Windex Sheeting Action Formula do it’s job. 1-2-3!! It’s that simple! First Rinse, second wash, third rinse again.
It works and I love it!!
You can even get a coupon for a free refill pack here.

peg42 says
I have to say, that I think that this new Windex Outdoor All-In-One Starter kit would be my favorite product. I have been asking my husband for 3 years now to wash the outside of our living room window. Twice each year, when doing the Spring and Fall cleaning, I clean all the windows in our house. However, I can’t reach this one window. It is a chore, he needs to get a ladder and position it in amoung our garden.
I really love Windex products. I also love the Multi Surface with Vinager cleaner.
Thanks so much and please enter me.
