I remember as a kid I hated doing the windows outside my house. However, every spring, that was one of the chores my brother and I had to do around the house. It involved grabbing Windex, spraying the window, using one towel to wipe off the soap and another to dry the window off. Let’s just say paper towels were in short supply at my house.
That’s why the Windex Outdoor All-In-One sounds like the answer for all the trees I’ve killed over the years by using paper towels. Essentially, you spray the window wet, take this pad at the end of a pole which has some sort of cleaning agent to wipe the window clean and then hose it down one more time. 25 minutes later, it promises a clean window — with no streaks.
I know what you are saying, Jeanine Shutok of Wexford said the same thing. She is a do-it-yourself person. Everything from the landscaping outside the house to the designs inside it, she’s all about taking care of things by herself … except cleaning windows. So she was more than psyched to give the product a try.
It was pretty easy to assemble, although she would up using more elbow grease to connect the segments of the pole. Then, she followed the directions – spray, wipe and rinse. Important note here: make sure you wet the pad before using it. That’s the only way the cleaning agent will work.
Well, 25 minutes later, the results were pretty amazing. Crystal clean windows …. with no streaks. The windows just naturally dried on their own and left a perfect shine. Jeanine wasn’t sure about the $15.99 price tag before using it, but now she tells me she maybe doing more outdoor windows on her own in the future.
As I said, it lists at $15.99 and you can buy your Windex Outdoor All-In-One at any local Walgreens or go to the product website and order it on-line. Replacement cleaning pads come in a two-pack and cost $4.99. The makers say one pad is good for 20 cleanings. I guess that depends on how big your windows are.
