There is something about this time of year that always puts me into a dither of organization and cleaning. It could be that I am preparing my nest for winter hibernation or is it that I am following my mother in law's rules to do a total fall and spring cleaning every year? Either way, I am on it, leaving the depths of winter for more creative endeavors.
Yes, this is gross but I bet yours are no better unless you just moved into a brand new home, right? The windows on the side of the house that face the prevailing westerly winds seem to accumulate more than their share of dead bugs and debris over the summer, right through the screens. I am always after them but it seems the actual cleaning, while working somewhat, just pushes and condenses the crap deeper into the corners. Then the light went on!!!
Because of her work, DD#2 keeps us well in stock on the latest dental appliances out there and this water pik is no longer necessary. It has now been ordained my mini pressure washer. Sure, I have often envied DH and his big pressure washing machine and all the magical power it has. But now I have one of my own. I took the the Mini PW, aka, Water Pik, to the window and spread towels on the sills and floor. Then I sprayed the sill with some cleaner and let that sit a few minutes. After that I just let my machine rip. The crap goes flying all over so you really need those towels but wowsa, instant spotless window sills. Wipe it all up, let dry, put a new coat of paint on the sills and looky here: Magic
All clean and pretty and ready for the screens to come off and be shut for winter. My mother in law would be very proud.
I then proceeded to use my mini PW on that nasty area where the faucets meet the sink, more magic! This is my new toy. No more of this one on my teeth but Dr. Elliott will take care of that!
I just had to share......Bunny
