My House Needs Windex 911

I have come to the point in my life where I am tired of doing certain things. I know they are required and necessary, nonetheless, I am tired of doing them. Washing windows. I love clean windows, I like being able to look out my front windows, without the dirt filter that more often than not hides the actual colors of the outdoors. I have even gone so far as to purchase windows that tilt in so they are easier to clean, eliminating death defying ladders and the shlepping of the cleaning tools. Yet, there are windows in my house that could benefit from a squirt or two of windex. When I was a bit younger, I would spend holiday weekends cleaning the windows, "doing the curtains" and end up exhausted. Nowadays, I do one, on a good day two windows and basically call it a day. If anyone was to think about ever giving me a gift, and I am not kidding, I truly would love one to a window washing company. I am sure that they would clean my windows much better than I, as no matter what I do, I leave streaks. I buy the products that proclaim that if you use them, there will be no streaks, in fact people may actually walk right into them thinking there is no window there. Not with my windows. I do not know what the pros use but I want some. If I take the time to clean a window, dammit, I would like it to look clean, not like some streaky, half clean, couldn't you do it right kind of window.
Maybe, someday, someone will invent a magic cloth that without any effort you just glide across the window and voila, the result is the cleanest window you have ever seen. Until then, I'm begging for the gift certificates for clean windows.
