How to Make Windshield Wash

Make windshield wash with alcohol or vinegar.

Windshield wash keeps the windshield clean while driving, making it important to use a cleaner that is powerful enough to wash away grime but leaves no film behind. Also, when you are in an area that has cold winter weather, you must use a wash that has an anti-freezing property; otherwise, you may use your wash to clean the windshield only to have it freeze and block your view.

Things You'll Need

• Gallon jug with lid
• 1 cup rubbing alcohol or vinegar
• 1 tsp. dish soap

Instructions

1. Pour either 1 cup of rubbing alcohol or 1 cup of vinegar into a gallon jug. Vinegar and rubbing alcohol are both anti-freezing agents suitable for cold climates.

2. Pour 1 tsp. of dish soap into the container if you wish to add an extra cleaning element.

3. Fill the container the rest of the way with hot water.

4. Put the lid on the jug, and shake gently.

5. Pour into the windshield wash canister of your vehicle, and use as needed.
