“Out-of-the-way windows” in and
around the house have long been a
problem for the conscientious home
maker. Basement windows, tran
soms, garage
windows,
pantry win
dow's, among
others, are
forever gath
ering dust
and grime.
Yet, because
they are diffi
cult to reach, or not often used,
they are allowed to go untouched
for longer periods of time than
most window's in the home.
Last week, as I was browsing
through a local ten cent store, I
noticed a plastic coated paper win
dow decoration that at last solves
this problem — perfectly. Called
Vitrophane, the window' decoration
come? in
frosted glass
effects or
colorful pat
terns. Al
though it al
lows light to
come through
the window it
completely
blocks the view of outsiders, for ex
tra privacy. I purchased a couple of
yards for my own garage window
and found it cost only 20c a yard
and is easily applied to the window
with only a little water. Best of all,
this plastic coated paper marked an
end to my garage window washing
worries. The window now not only
stays cleaner
longer, but
when it does
become dusty,
I simply wipe
it with a dry
or damp
1 ll I I I * cloth, and it’s
1 clean again in
seconds.
If you have “out-of-the-way”
window worries, I suggest that you
too pick up a few yards of Vitro
phane at your local dime store.
