One of the most pivotal moments in my life was realizing one simple fact. That we spend more time working each week, than we get to spend with our loved ones. Knowing this, I don’t spend what little time I do have constantly cleaning. Because leaning on Windex® brand products will help keep our home sparkling. All so our family time can shine that much brighter.

And two things we always look forward to with that extra family time? Enjoying breakfast foods and celebrating the night with a great movie. While fun may take many forms, nothing for us is quite as joyful as gathering around great eats in the morning, noon, and night. The coffee is hot, the food is glorious, and the day becomes magical.

Because can’t you just smell the inspiration of a new dinner dawning with us? Okay…that may just be the egg frying sunny side up. Not to mention the fresh salad, beets, peppers, feta, and gyro meat wafting through the air. But I think you get a whiff of my enthusiasm for all things “brinner”. Call it what you will, but breakfast served all day is utter happiness for us.

And so is a clean kitchen and house for this Mom! But like everything else in my life, I like to keep things simple and multi-tasked. And I can’t think of a better jewel to rescue me from a menagerie of household horrors than my bottle of Windex® Original Glass Cleaner.

And so I had never laughed harder, than when the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding premiered in 2002 and the dad used Windex® for everything. I come from a huge family that was not without its quirks. I had 12 aunts and uncles with more than 30 great aunts/uncles from my Dad’s paternal side alone. Family reunions were epic!

And my Mom’s ancestry wasn’t only in numbers as well, but hailed connections to the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. While my own circus only has two additional ticket holders, it still holds its own unique talents. Namely for creating messes from whence no fathomable reasoning can be uttered.

So thank goodness I can save so much time just stocking Windex® Original Glass Wipes. Between spraying it or swiping it, this Mom’s cleaning house chores are a snap! And it helps that Windex® is great for so many surfaces. Far more than just glass and countertops, cleaning practically everything!

Since Windex® utilizes ammonia, it’s always been excellent at that streak free shine on your windows. But I also use it clean white boards. Its also great for wiping down shiny dress shoes. Want to know what else I use Windex® for?

Keep the animals at the zoo

Spritz down your trash cans to avoid meeting the local wildlife. Got something extra smelly in there? Spritz your trash bags too for an extra deterrent.

Range hood salvation

There are officially no more excuses for that sticky yellow mess that hangs above your stove. That is all.

Bathroom tile

So the white bathroom tile seemed like a great idea at the time I signed my lease. Thankfully, the “black grout” is optional. Windex® Original Cleaner also doesn’t leave film creating an impromptu ceramic slip and slide.

Patio spring cleaning

Did you know that Windex® Outdoor Glass & Patio Concentrated Cleaner is great for sprucing up and wiping down patio furniture? Whether you’re lounging under an umbrella set or putting your feet up on plastic chairs at the campsite. You’ll love knowing it’s all cleaned up for summer fun.

And with finding this one great product to clean everything…guess who has time for smiles and a great movie now? I’m certain to call up my treasure trove of cousins March 25th, and head to the theater to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (Rated PG-13). And with purchasing my participating Windex® brand products* at Kroger and the Kroger family of stores, I can redeem a $3 credit for my movie ticket!
