Tips to keep your windshield clean
We know how annoying fogging on a windshield can be when it doesn’t go away no matter how much effort we put into cleaning it. To keep your focus optimal and allow you to enjoy the view in front of you, here are the best tricks to keep your car’s windshield clean for as long as possible without having to replace your wiper blades immediately. And the best part… it’s easy, simple, and natural!
One of the most common methods used by drivers is to use a microfiber cloth. This type of fabric doesn’t shed lint and absorbs any type of liquid very well. Add liquid windshield cleaner with rain repellent or hydrophobic treatment to the cloth. It’s important to repeat this process both inside and outside the windshield, and to use different cloths for each — because if you use the same, the dirt from one surface will transfer to the other.
The last step is just as simple. You only need a sponge soaked in water and wrung out as much as possible. Then, add some liquid or foam windshield cleaner, or even regular glass cleaner, onto the damp sponge. Make sure to scrub very well over the entire windshield and into the corners of the glass. Once you finish the process, you’ll feel like your car windows are invisible!
Another foolproof trick to keep your windshield clean has to do with extending the lifespan of your wipers. If you thought it was already time to replace your wiper blades because something wasn’t working right, then the next tip will interest you.
Often, we need extra help to repair scratched glass, whether it’s because a small pebble, speck of dust, or even an insect has embedded itself in the wiper blades. Instead of replacing them, it’s much better to clean the blades with vinegar, moving from the inside out, then remove any residue with a damp microfiber cloth. The next step is to apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the blades and let it sit for about 10 minutes until the rubber material of the wiper absorbs it fully.
That said, replacing wiper blades is usually inexpensive and affordable. However, at Ralarsa we are committed to the environment and will always aim to extend the lifespan of your wipers whenever possible.
Of course, it should be noted that when the wipers are too worn, they no longer clean as effectively as before. Often, no matter how hard you try to clean the windshield, streaks or reflections remain. If your wipers get stuck halfway through their movement or make a loud screeching sound as they slide, this means the wipers have reached the end of their useful life and need to be replaced with new ones.
