We’re not exactly sure why, but cleaning the windows is one of those tasks that gets put off until the absolute last minute. And by last minute, we mean: It’s 9 a.m. and your in-laws are visiting at 10 a.m.—the counters have been scrubbed, the beds are made, the floor has been vacuumed—but the light coming into your home remains… mottled.
Okay so maybe it’s because for many of us, this means getting up on a ladder outside our windows, and for others, it simply doesn’t seem doable at all in a 5th floor walkup (hello, city-dwellers). Unfortunately though, we’ve all got to face it at some point, since there’s nothing that makes a space feel bigger and brighter than cleaning the windows.
