Living my life from a wheelchair, my vantage point is often that of bellies and butts. I think I get it an habit of keeping my head and neck at that level and sometimes forget to look up. Thank goodness for my cat, Lucky, who in a moment of naughtiness happened to be terrifying moths that had attached themselves to our screen door. Lucky’s astonishing vertically leap drew my attention to the top of the screen door… that was absolutely covered in dust! I grabbed a rag with water and dish-soap and wiped down what I could, but I could only reach about 3/4 of the way up. Googling: “how to clean screen doors”, just told me to remove the screen completely. Ha! Fat chance of that happening!
If only there we some sort of reaching tool. Some determined research helped me 
discover there was! The Long Reach Window Screen Cleaning KIt comes with either a 12 foot or 5 foot poll and a roller attachment that is textured to work wet or dry to remove dust from screens.
Assistive technology (AT) is for life and all that it entails. While spring cleaning may not be one of those parts of life we particularly enjoy, AT is available to help make the job easier. To learn more about tools to help with spring cleaning, join us on March 24, 1:30-3:00 ET for our webinar on the topic. To register, email [email protected].
