Outdoor Window Washer
3 Tbsp. liquid dishwashing soap
1 Tbsp. anti-spotting agent (Jet Dry)
Put soap and anti-spotting agent into a spray bottle attachment for your garden hose. Spray upper windows and let them dry. This is for cleaning the higher windows on your house that you can’t reach except with a ladder.

Very simple and effective window cleaning method. But this won’t work for out of order dirty windows. I found Using Vinegar with lime solution work pretty well.
Just a tip for any outside window washing. Don’t forget to cover your plants under the windows. Many cleaners (that use vinegar and ammonia etc.) can kill plants so be careful. Soapy water is fine because it doesn’t hurt the plants and kills many bugs.
Our house fronts on a well-traveled main street. The front windows (5 of them), are dirty all the time due to the dust and dirt from this road. There is a lot of construction going on in our neighborhood now, too, and the trucks carrying dirt are many. I’m going to try this solution and see if I can get my windows clean. With my chronic shoulder issue, washing windows by hand is not easy so this might be just the thing. I get so tired of grimy windows.
Maggie, perhaps your church’s youth group could help wash your windows. Or a friendly neighbor? God bless.
