First, let me apologize for being absent since my first blog post. I have been busy with work and readying my Southern home in anticipation of hosting a wedding shower this coming weekend. Furthermore, being a crazy, spontaneous couple, we decided to install new flooring in the guest bath last week and I am still recovering from that escapade. But, I must say that it looks smashing and I will share my experience from that adventure in a future blog.
The winning genre for this blog post was overwhelming cleaning. So the topic that I have for today is a tip that I use during my daily cleaning routine. First, I have a rather large dog who loves to look out the 7 foot tall windows that seem to envelop all of the space in the public areas of my home. Since she wants to get the perfect, close-up view of the goings-on outside, she presses her cold, wet window to the glass. When we first moved into this house, over 3 years ago, I would go through the equivalent of Windex and paper towels that Macy's Herald Square must during the Christmas season. However, I soon learned, by accident if I recall correctly, of the amazing power of the Microfiber Cloth. Now, whenever my darling Weimaraner gets the window dirty, I simply wipe the spot with a wet cloth and then dry it with the microfiber cloth.
Someone once told me that the best way to clean a mirror was to use newsprint paper instead of paper towels. I found this idea to be a farce and found my hands to end up blackened. I have learned that you can use the same microfiber device for streak-free mirrors as well. However, I must warn that if the microfiber cloth leaves lint, it will end up on your mirrors. Another trick that I have found for streak less cleaning is to clean the mirror with Windex as normal and then "buff" out the streaks with a cotton t-shirt or cotton bath towel. This is what I do most often to ensure that my reflection looks its best in the mirror.
That's all for today, y'all! Until next time, I wish you all happy Southern lives!
