Hi,
Most housewives realise that clean windows add greatly to the smart appearance of the home. A spotlessly clean house looks drab and dirty if their windows are not clear.
A medical man told me the other day that dirty windows were also a menace to health. It has been scientifically proven that the yellow-greyish colour caused by accumulated dust on a window-pain produces harmful rays which counteract the excellent influence of sunlight so essential to health. At first it may seem an exaggeration, but it is a fact that sallow skins and bad complexions have been attributed to sitting in offices where windows are not kept clean.
It is surprising what a change there is in the whole appearance of a room after the windows have been cleaned. Many carefully planned and well- arranged rooms, where everything appears well appointed, can be entirely spoiled in artistic effect by dirty windows.
The Danger Of Flies.
Right through this winter we have been troubled with flies, although not so freely as in the summer, of course. Therein arises another danger from unwashed windows. The fly is germ-laden. Children love to tap their fingers on the glass of the window. Even grown-ups do it sometimes. Is it not more then likely that the hands which have touched the window will go up to the mouth? Then the danger of fevers and other illnesses, some times of a poisonous nature, becomes a possibillity.
