How often do you clean these bits?

[Illbefinejustbloodyfine]

The bits you see when you open your windows/door?

Is it a regular activity, or one where you open the window and think urgh.

I hate dirty reveals and clean them every week. As for the spiders that live there, they don't pay rent so they get evicted.

Urgh + about a month until I get around to it.

@BaronessEllarawrosaurus also an old draughty house so I'm the same, don't often need to open the windows so when I do....

@Desecratedcoconut Urgh plus a month is an excellent measure of time!

I'll sometimes hoover around the inside of the patio door frames when I'm vacuuming but I rarely actually clean (as in 'wet clean') inside the frames. My intensely neat-freaky sister does inside her frames at least once a month.

It massively irritates me that I can't actually get to the insides of my kitchen windows because they're over the sink and I can't reach to clean them properly. In the summer, this drives me insane because flies come in through the open patio doors and head straight through the house to accumulate in the kitchen window, which then gets absolutely filthy within a day or two with their shit! It's THE worst piece of design in my house and I hate it.

At the urgh stage. Which they seem to get to quickly. How?

Every day I find another reason that I am a slovenly housekeeper.

Me too. MN taught me I should bleach door frames, now I need to do inside windows, I'm obviously just rank.

Bleach door frames...but, why?

I'm at the Urght + sunny warm day stage!!

I can't abide doing it when it's cold.

Someone asked why they get so dirty - my belief is it's the drafts the less draughty windows stay cleaner.

@Tabitha005 I used to be ok with the kitchen window, until I got older & had an accident which smashed up my shoulder. Now I can't just get up into the worktop easily I have to risk life & limb balancing from the kitchen step stool to clean the inside of the window, but I can do the inside of the frames from outside.

Well that was my response, but apparently that's what people do and it's perfectly normal, well on MN.

This.

Homeowner for 14 years. I've never cleaned those bits. And our house looks immaculate.

About 3-4 times a year, when I wash and clean the insides of my windows.
