I’m willing to wager a two-step hot fudge sundae made with mocha chip ice cream that you struggle to get the glass in and around your home perfectly clean. I’m talking crystal-clear glass that looks invisible. It might be glasses you drink from, the windows in your home, the glass in French doors, mirrors, your automotive glass and so forth.

Visit a grocery store and you’ll see bottles of blue or green liquids that claim to be the best thing to use. Go online and you’ll discover a plethora of other cleaners. I’ve become so cynical in my many trips around the sun that I sometimes wonder if a few of these products actually attract dirt so you have to clean the glass more often.
