Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner — 

THIS IS AN AMAZING PRODUCT!   I am always impressed when I find a cleaning product that makes my life easier, except that doesn't happen often.  Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning Tool is now a "must have" product in my home.

This product makes cleaning outdoor windows so much easier!  I just can't get over how simple it was to use.  The starter kit came with (1) cleaning head, (1) handle, (4) pole sections, and (1) cleaning pad.  Yes, only one cleaning pad, but guess what.....that is all you will need to clean ALL the windows in your home!  Unbelievable, I know, but it is absolutely TRUE. 

When you get all your items out of the box, you have to snap the four pole sections together.  (I measured the size of the pole, and from tip to tip in measured in at 49")  This was very easy to do.  Then you snap on the handle & the cleaning head.  Also, very simple.  The cleaning pad has Velcro on the back, which you simply press onto the head.  Then, you're ready to clean.  Literally, it took me one minute to assemble.  (once it is assembled, you cannot disassemble it) The cleaning solution is already on the cleaning pad, although you can't see it.  When you get it wet, it activates the solution.  There is A LOT more cleaning solution on the pad then you think there is.  Just wait till you see how well it cleans.

Here's how Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning tool works:

  • Spray the window with a regular garden hose.  Also, spray the cleaning pad
  • Clean the window using the Windex cleaning pad.  The long pole makes it easy to reach the entire window.
  • Spray the window off with water.  THAT IS ALL YOU DO!  You don't have to dry anything by hand, you don't have to rub the cleaning solution in, that's it!  IT IS AMAZINGLY SIMPLE and provides beautiful, streak free windows.

Living in the South, certain times of year (like now, in April) our homes are COVERED in disgusting yellow pollen.  My windows looked horrible before I cleaned them.  They were streaked with the yellow, dusty pollen.  However, after I sprayed them down & then cleaned them with Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning Tool, they were totally spotless AND streak free!  I just can't tell you how surprised I am out how easy it was to do these windows.

I have a very bad back.  Thus, cleaning windows KILLS ME.  It takes so long to drag out the ladder, the cleaning stuff, the paper towels, and you're constantly having to go up and down the ladder to reach stuff.  I honestly avoided this process like the plague.  Now, however, I will NEVER have a reason to not clean my windows again.  I was done with my windows in a matter of about 15 minutes.  That is less than 1/2 the time I spent cleaning my windows before.  Truly amazing.

That's not all either.  The same Windex cleaning pad that I used to clean the windows in my home, also cleaning the windows on my car.  Because of the design of my Potiac Aztek, I have a difficult time reaching the entire window when I clean it with traditional Windex & paper towels.  Well, with the Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning Tool, I easily reached all those hard to get to places, and ended up with sparkling windows with no streaks.  How awesome is that?  I didn't even have to use a separate cleaning pad! 

The one cleaning pad was completely intact & holding on tightly to the cleaning had, even after I had cleaned my windows & my car.  It never slipped from the cleaning had, it didn't fall apart, or tear in any places.  This thing is DURABLE!  I love it.

Now, one bad thing about this product.  (you know there's always something)  If your hose can't reach a window, I don't know how you could use this product.  I have two windows at the back of my house that I simply couldn't get to.  Perhaps you could tote a bucket of water & throw it on the window?  I think that would be your only option.  Also, if you live in a two story home, the poles wont reach to that height.  It's a possibility that you can purchase additional poles, but I'm not certain of that.  I'd look into it, because the Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning Tool really is an amazing way to get every single window clean.

So, what's the price?  For a starter kit, which includes the pole, and one pad (which cleans up to 20 windows) you will pay a price of $ 14.99.  THAT IS AFFORDABLE!  Once you have the entire kit, you'll only have to buy refills the next time.  For a two-pad refill pack, the price is $ 4.99.  Also, not bad when you consider that one pad cleaned all my windows & the windows on my car.  (there was even more cleaning solution remaining on the pad! If only I had more to clean)

I HIGHLY recommend this product.  You will love it!  I promise.  Windex Outdoor All-In-One Cleaning Tool makes life so much simpler, and I'm always on the lookout for things that save me time.  Windex has a winner with this product!

100 people surveyed said. The top 5 answers are on the board. What is the one product that everyone is reviewing for spring cleaning around Viewpoints. This must really be an amazing product because this is the fourth review I have read since yesterday! I have been in my new house for 5 years and haven't cleaned the outside of the windows yet. Hmm...maybe I should get me some this.
