Household Hint

Washing windows...a love/hate relationship. I love clean, sparkling, spot-free windows but I hate washing them. Having two dogs in the house doesn't make it easy to keep clean windows, especially when they are at nose level. Lots of doggie nose art around here!

In a recent Heloise column, she gave a "recipe" for a shower door cleaner. If this works on water stains, certainly this should work on dirty dog nose windows. I gave it a try. It worked. Mind you, I had tried Windex and the nose prints smudged. A little bit of elbow grease on a few of the spots and they were gone. Sparkling windows! Until the next time...

Put the mixture into a clearly labeled spray bottle and whatever other containers you have to hold the rest.
