Marge’s Magic Elixir Streak Free Cleaner
I have always hated cleaning windows until I accidentally stumbled on this idea for a streak free cleaner. Actually it’s been a work in progress for about 50 years. Many many years ago my dad had a gas station, you know the kind where you hire high school boys to pump gas and wash windshields. […]
