As the weather gets colder or the number of rainy days increases, the demand for windshield wiper fluid increases. However, the prices of washer fluids on the market vary, and the chemical composition of many brands may have certain impacts on the environment or vehicles. Fortunately, car owners can easily make their own windshield washer fluid with some simple household materials, which is not only economical but also better protects the car and the environment.
Basic materials for homemade windshield wiper fluid
Water, dishwashing liquid, white vinegar, alcohol
Use tap water and dishwashing liquid to remove stains, white vinegar to remove stubborn stains and prevent scale, and alcohol to accelerate evaporation and avoid water stains.
The homemade formula ratio is as follows:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid
1/4 cup of alcohol (optional)
Put the above ingredients in a spray bottle and mix and shake well. When using, spray on the windshield, and then use the wiper to remove stains, and the glass will become clean and bright.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Saving Money
Homemade windshield wiper fluid is simple in materials and low in cost, especially for car owners who clean their windshields frequently. It is more economical than commercial washing fluid.
Eco-friendly and healthy
Homemade washing fluid is mostly made of natural ingredients and does not contain harmful chemicals, which is more friendly to car owners and the environment. Most commercial washing fluids contain chemical ingredients that may pollute the air and water sources.
Adjustable
The homemade windshield wiper fluid can be adjusted according to the season or personal needs. For example, in summer, add peppermint essential oil to add fragrance, and in winter, increase the proportion of vinegar to prevent glass frost.
Note
Homemade windshield wiper fluid is very practical, but the following two points should be noted when using it: First, do not pour it directly into the washing fluid storage tank, because detergent may affect the wiper effect. It is recommended to spray it directly on the windshield. In winter, avoid too much water in the formula to prevent the liquid from freezing and clogging the nozzle.
In short, making your own windshield washer fluid can meet daily needs while saving money and being environmentally friendly. Car owners can also adjust the formula according to weather changes to ensure clear vision and safe driving every time they travel.
