Do you spring/fall clean? Who does the housework?

[QUOTE=valentine,Mar 8 2007, 08:33 PM] .......I'm delighted that I do not have to worry about removing window treatments for cleaning either since I don't have any.

As for the windows, I tell everyone that others pay good money for tinted/smoked windows. I save money by not washing them and still get the same effect.
Now, in the S I can't stand the least little spot on the windows. Go figure....

Nice thing about the condo is the window washers do the outside twice a year. So we only have to worry about the inside. I'm not a big fan of window treatments, either. Don't have any in the living room, have shades on the balcony and vertical blinds on the master bedroom window. No curtains at all.

....about 'no window treatments' but don't agree about clean windows, Val! I equate clean windows with clean eyeglasses; looking out at a dirty world is the pits. I aspire to clean windows....just as Dave....but it just doesn't happen in our house.

I was lazy in the cleaning department this weekend. I had 1/2 of a cold, Rick had the other half, so cleaning got put on the back burner. Just one more room to do and the official spring cleaning is done. Having a small house makes lots of things easier.
We are both fairly neat, orderly people. Neither of us likes clutter. If the doorbell rings unexpectedly, we won't have to pretend we aren't home, though if I'm babysitting, all bets on the neat/orderly thing are off. Babies and five year old children require a lot of stuff hanging about the house.

It occurred to me only after we bought this house that it really doesn't have many windows. Unfortunately, the idiots that closed in the Florida/dog room years ago used those double windows like you have up north. The seals have broken and there's yuck between the glass so I could clean till I'm dead and you still can't see out of the damned things. Our next project is that room and we're hoping we can afford to have the windows replaced, but they are rather large and there are six of them, so.................. We refuse to go into debt on anything including the house remodeling, so I sure hope the money tree starts budding out soon, but we pruned it rather dramatically last year so the poor thing may take some time to recover.

Wow...good thing you aren't planning my kitchen remodel. You can send a branch up here if you want.

I cleaned out six bags of magazines over the weekend
After reading Jerry's post I figured out that we have 316 panes of glass, give or take a few. Most of the windows are the originals, so you have to clean them the hard way or ignore them. I've cleaned them once in six years.
