Washing Glass is my downfall

Is there something you do in your every day life that would be best done by someone other than you? For me, its washing windows or mirrors. I just can't do it!! No matter what I do or how I try to improve, the dang glass just looks better dirty than it does when I get done 'cleaning'.

A few years ago I had a photographer come up to me and asked if I could possibly clean the mirror in the upstairs loft. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I had just done it the day before, but I dutifully got the Windex and a roll of paper towels and headed upstairs. I kid you not, the mirror looked better from the first cleaning than it did from the second! What do I do wrong?!?!?! UGH!! I did mention to the photographer that my cleaning skills were sub-par but she waved me off and said, under her breath, how hard can cleaning a mirror be? About 2 minutes later she came back and asked if she could have the cleaning supplies so she could do it herself. I take no offense...I know I can't do it!!

I am to the point where I do not invite folks into the house in the mornings. The big nice windows all face east and they are BAD. I mean....really BAD. During the rest of the day the windows let in beautiful sunshine and I Love them! But in the morning, oh boy! It looks like they haven't been washed since they were put in 20 years ago. They have, I swear! But I cannot state this clearly enough...they look better dirty than do after an attempt by Noreen to clean them.
