What is the best way to clean car windows?
2 Answers
Car windows can be cleaned effectively with stain-removing cloths. Here are the methods for cleaning car windows: 1. Use dishwashing liquid and toothpaste for cleaning: First, wet the window with water, apply toothpaste to the left half, scrub the windshield with a sponge, and then rinse with clean water. 2. If the wiper is not clean: The rubber strips on the wiper may be loosely clamped, making it difficult to clean effectively. If you find the wiper is loose, you can use needle-nose pliers to tighten the gaps at each joint and the rubber strip. This not only effectively reduces noise but also improves the wiping effect of the wiper.
When I drive my kids to school, there's often dust and fingerprints on the windshield, which affect visibility. My go-to method is using dedicated automotive glass cleaner with a microfiber cloth—first spraying to soften the stains, then gently wiping the entire surface, including hard-to-reach spots the wipers miss. Remember to promptly and gently remove bird droppings to prevent glass corrosion, and avoid using hot water to clean the glass in winter, as sudden temperature changes can cause cracks. Here’s a handy tip: start with a slightly damp cloth to remove larger debris, then use a dry cloth in circular motions to minimize water marks. Keeping the glass clear significantly improves driving safety, especially in rainy conditions when visibility is sharper without blurring. I always keep a bottle of cleaner in the car for emergencies—developing this habit is truly practical.
