I did my kitchen windows with the Karcher, it looked wonderful until the evening sun shone throught its smears. I then did it with kitchen roll and white vinegar. Better, but still not great.
Please come and do my windows for me grannyactivist

Wish mine would clean windows, I wish he`d clean anything!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Jul-14 22:07:29

What?! They have to put up scaffolding to clean the windows?!!! shock

Ana Sun 13-Jul-14 22:06:30

Unless he was holding the ladder, of course. But that seems to be banned nowadays (using ladders at all I mean, not holding them).

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Jul-14 22:05:37

Your work wasn't wasted because the fact that they were clean meant the job he/it had to do was a lot easier.

HTH

Yes, I was wondering what MrGA was doing with the window cleaner if it was a human-type one...

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Jul-14 21:29:57

Or an e-cloth from Lakeland.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Jul-14 21:29:18

Or perhaps it is a pole with a sponge/wiper blade?

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 13-Jul-14 21:21:40

Was the window cleaner a man kind of window cleaner? Or a spray bottle of window cleaner? Either way I wouldn't mind at all. Nothing worse than smeary windows.

You should get a Karcher. smile

So would I, ga!

ffinnochio Sun 13-Jul-14 21:15:13

ga I would hand over all window cleaning 'rights' forthwith.

Being married to a man to whom the thought of cleaning windows would never, ever occur, I can only shrug and think "I should be so lucky!"

No other kind of cleaning would occur to him either.

No!.... wait!.... I do him an injustice! He has been known to clean a camera lens.

This almost happened to me last week grannyactivist I had cleaned nearly all the windows, when a few days later the window cleaner turned up [he had been missing for a while] and my DH said 'Oh let him do them!'
Naturally I said ' No way!'

rosesarered Sun 13-Jul-14 20:55:39

You would only be unreasonable if he didn't know you had cleaned all the windows.If he did know, then it was not right that he got the window cleaner to re-do them, and if I were you I would never clean them again.

No, of course you're not. Wonderful man or not, he really should have noticed the difference between opaque and transparent.

Last week, in the middle of a very busy time, I took the trouble to clean the outside, downstairs windows of the house. It took me a long time and a lot of effort, but I was pleased to have saved my extremely hardworking husband a job. I will confess the windows were not perfect when I'd finished, but they were clean. This evening I found my husband with the window cleaner re- doing all the windows. I was cross - he explained he thought he was 'helping'. What do you say, am I being unreasonable?
