I’ve never liked to wash windows.  They are hard to clean.  It seems that no matter what product I use, the windows never come out right.  I’ve tried using newspapers, or paper towels to wipe them with, and they still come out streaky.  I’ve tried to wash them on cloudy days, and they still come out streaky.  They are a huge pain in the neck to wash!

I especially hate washing windows because one day, when I was 17 years old, my step-mother was in a hateful mood and decided to make me wash a huge picture window in her living room.  It was a bright, hot, sunny day and the sun was beating on that window.  I told her that I should wait until the sun wasn’t shining on that window, but she didn’t care, she made me wash it anyway.  So I washed it, and sure enough it streaked.  She got mad and made me wash it again, and it streaked again.  She yelled at me and made me wash it over and over and over for five whole hours until finally the sun had moved and it stopped streaking.  I vowed then that I would never wash a window again!

Since then I have washed a few windows on occasion, but not as often as most “good” housekeepers do.  I just hate doing them!  I usually only do them if I am expecting some kind of special company that might “judge me” on my cleaning (or lack thereof.)  Other than that, they could go for years and years and years without being cleaned!
