Clean Windows: Beneficial and Yet Risky to Your Health

Monday, March 29th, 2010

Can clean windows be harmful to our health?

Well, yes and no.

In building a website for a case study on website performance, I was reminded of a health related concern. The website was for a window cleaning company in Virginia.

Cleaning your windows can ruin an otherwise wonderful life. I know. I had to have 52 stitches and still have a scar as a reminder of the danger related to windows. Windows of the non-computer, glass kind.

My accident was from a broken window. My hand went through the window.

When it comes to doing jobs like cleaning our windows, it might be safer to take the attitude, “I don’t do windows.”

However, you need to have your windows cleaned for optimal health.

Why? The window dirt could cause depression. Yes, windows panes can be causing emotional pain.

The solution is simple. Hire it out to professionals.

The reason for hiring it out goes beyond the need for your windows to be seen clean.

Oh, I am not talking about the dirt threshold. Some husbands know to within plus or minus one sock laying around, when their wife will start to throw things. The weight and size of the things they will toss will be directly proportional to the angst the dirt causes them.

No, it has nothing to do with that kind of dirt.

Dirty windows need to be cleaned because of a potential health risk. You can read about it at a dear friend’s website.

Oh yeah, the site is StauntonWindowCleaning.com

For the post about clean windows and health, look for the picture of a cat looking out the window. There is actually science behind this.

Good health to you.
