The best homemade windshield washer fluid formula consists of 2 liters of purified water, 500 milliliters of medical alcohol, and a small amount of dishwashing liquid. The preparation steps are as follows: 1. First, prepare medical alcohol, a beverage bottle, and dishwashing liquid; 2. Fill a 2.5-liter mineral water bottle with approximately 2 liters of purified water; 3. Add about 500 milliliters of medical alcohol to the mineral water bottle; 4. Add one bottle cap of dishwashing liquid; 5. Gently stir until well mixed. Windshield washer fluid, also known as windshield cleaning liquid, is a solution used to clean the windshields of vehicles and other means of transportation. It is a consumable item in automotive use, primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, etc., and has functions such as cleaning, antifreeze, and antifog.
As an eco-conscious DIY windshield washer fluid enthusiast, the most important factors in my homemade formula are safety and cleaning power. My recipe is: 1 liter of purified water mixed with 100ml medical alcohol for antifreeze and sterilization, plus 10 drops of fragrance-free dish soap for cleaning. Never use tap water as it can clog the nozzles; in areas where temperatures drop below -10°C in winter, increase the alcohol ratio to 30%. I've been using this for three years - the key is to filter out impurities by passing the mixture through a coffee filter three times before bottling. Check wiper blades monthly as the cleaning power is slightly weaker than store-bought solutions, but it significantly reduces plastic bottle pollution. It works perfectly during heavy rain when used properly, saving money while being more environmentally friendly.
