Antifreeze is the coolant used in cars to prevent liquid freezing in the vehicles. It is very poisonous, so contact should be avoided because it can cause organ malfunction if absorbed through the skin. Do not let pets anywhere near an antifreeze spill; if they drink it, they will get extremely sick and even die. Clean up can be categorized as toxic waste, and should be handled efficiently.
Cleaning up the Spill
Step 1
Wipe as much antifreeze off the car window as possible with paper towels. Discard them in a small plastic bag.

Warning
Antifreeze is a poison. Skin contact should be avoided at all costs. If contact does occur, call the local poison control immediately.
