window-screen

Step #1 and Step #2

What’s the easiest (and cheapest) to lighten a Minnesota home — at least between November and May?

Start by removing the window screens (step #1).

windowwashingAfter last night’s hard freeze (lows in the mid-20’s), that’s now timely to do.

With the screens gone, though, it can be all too apparent how dirty the home’s windows are.

Step #2:  clean ’em — surprisingly, possible to do down to 15° or so (at least for the pros).

P.S.:  While many people store their window screens in the garage, I recommend the basement or a stairwell if there’s room (less dust).
