When cleaning windows, Windex or a Windex-like facsimile is really the most effective product to use. Goo Gone, while exemplary for removing sticky gunk and tape residue, doesn't quite cut it for a shiny, streak-free result on the window pane.
I know this because that's precisely what my mom used today. I was occupied scraping old paint from the walls in Danny's old room, and I thought I'd give her a useful activity so she could feel helpful. I kept hearing her talk about how hard these double pane windows are to get clean, and when I
turned around, the window was smeared with Goo Gone.
It was right around then that I suddenly remembered how thirsty the flowers outside must be, and oh, could she please water them before they got too dry?
About Me
- Ruthie
- I am fifty-something and I'm still struggling to define myself. I am too young to be a granny (of four granddaughters and one grandson), too old to be a young mom (five kids-- two still at home), too irreverent to be a missionary wife. I'm trying to find my bearings after my mother passed away this year -- I feel sort of adrift now that she's not here for either of us to take care of each other. I can't tolerate tags in any form. I am armed with a seam ripper, scissors and Goo Gone and I'm not afraid to use them. My other phobias are improper apostrophe usage and becoming senile. I long to be content and joyful because I know that God has blessed me with more than enough.

Nice....Good move with the flowers needing watered.
Oh goodness. Yeah, not so helpful. She did use WATER with the flowers, right? :)
Just the same as washing hands with SuperGlue doesn't work so well. Good to hear from you.
Oh, yeah! You're back!!! At last, the drought has ended. Glad to see your smiling face back here again.
the dad on "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" swore by Windex. Maybe there's something to it.
