Window Cleaning Chicago
Question. Chicago, IL - My husband George has set up a regular observatory in our upstairs den where he spies on the neighbor lady. He’s got telescopes, binoculars, microscopes and some kind of night vision stuff. I don’t know what’s got into him but he shouldn’t think for one minute that I don’t know what he’s up to. I don’t think he’s looking to become an astronomer in his old age (even though the neighbor lady is shaped just like the planet Jupiter only fatter and with only one moon!) Well I got fed up with it and after George recently left on a two-week fishing trip in Canada with his buddies, I took a can of black spray paint and painted the den window. Now I’m having second thoughts. How do I get that paint off, Professor? Hurry!
Answer. You didn’t mention if that black paint was water-based or oil-based paint. Most of the experts seem to think you need to (carefully) use a razor blade to scrap it all off. If it is oil-based you might try softening it up with some solvent or lacquer thinner. Look on the side of the paint can for recommendations. For water-based paint try an equal amount of ammonia and warm water to loosen the paint before you scrap. Be careful with that razor!

It’s a sad thing to be clueless. Even while The Clueless Cleaner believes that cleaning can be fun and hopes to provide a bit of entertainment, Professor Q hopes that his research might point some folks in the right direction in terms of solving perplexing cleaning issues.
Here’s what you need to know. Other than being fictitious, Professor Q is just like you and me: Fallible! He knows nothing about cleaning! Out of the goodness of his heart he’ll look it up when someone has a truly clueless inquiry. He has dozens of reference books and of course the Internet. But he has not checked out these solutions personally and as far as he knows the experts he researches might be just as clueless as the rest of us. Probably not, but who knows?
So do your own due diligence before proceeding with any cleaning solution. Just one more slight word of caution. The Professor has noticed that a lot of these cleaning experts say the same thing over and over again, doubtlessly to cover their own tails. They say, “any one trying a cleaning solution should test it in an inconspicuous place–whether you are cleaning your silk blouse, your carpet or your driveway. Find an out of the way spot to make sure the cleaning solution doesn’t cause more problems than it cures.”
