Household Items That We're Washing Too Much, Or Way Too Little

Don't Go Crazy With Your Windows

Keeping your home’s windows clean is important, but there’s a limit to how much effort you really need to put in. Spot cleaning and a thorough deep cleaning twice a year are usually enough to keep them looking great. Overdoing it can actually cause problems—like making outdoor glass so shiny that birds mistake it for open space and fly into it, risking injury. To make it easier, add window cleaning to your annual home maintenance routine

Tackle it during spring cleaning or when winterizing your home, and you’ll stay on top of it without extra hassle. Did you know that using a simple vinegar-and-water solution can remove streaks without leaving harmful residues? Plus, investing in a squeegee can save time and give you a streak-free finish. By keeping your approach simple and consistent, you’ll maintain sparkling windows while avoiding unnecessary work. Isn’t that a win-win?
