Car windows can be cleaned with asphalt remover, car window cleaner, or multi-purpose cleaning agents. Below are the methods for cleaning car windows: 1. Use a damp cloth to remove dust particles from the car windows; 2. Use a cleaning agent to wipe off stains and spots on the car windows; 3. Add ammonia to water, then dip a cloth in the solution to clean grease from the car windows; 4. Use alcohol to clean rust on car windows. Avoid using highly corrosive cleaning agents during the cleaning process to prevent damage to the car windows and impaired visibility; 5. Use newspaper to wipe away water marks left on the car windows and remove any streaks left by the cloth.

To clean car windows, I usually opt for specialized automotive glass cleaners as their unique formulas efficiently remove oil films, dust, and insect residues. Paired with a microfiber cloth, I first spray the cleaner to fully coat the glass, letting it sit for half a minute to dissolve dirt, then wipe away grime with a damp cloth, and finally polish with a dry cloth to leave no streaks. This method avoids working under direct sunlight which causes rapid evaporation and protects the glass surface from scratches. For stubborn stains like bird droppings or tree sap, I add a bit of alcohol or white vinegar for disinfection while wiping. Remember to regularly clean windshield wipers too, preventing dirt from spreading again and ensuring clear, safe driving visibility. Periodically check window seals to prevent water leaks and extend overall service life.

I usually use household items to clean my car windows, like diluting dishwashing liquid in water with a bit of vinegar, then putting it in a spray bottle for easy use. Grab a soft cloth or sponge, wet it, and wipe the windows. When it gets dirty, just use a clean part and repeat—simple and eco-friendly. Remember to wear gloves to avoid splashes getting into your eyes. Doing this in the garage is safest to prevent dust from flying around. After cleaning, I always check the wiper blades to make sure there’s no debris stuck that could affect their performance. Driving in the rain becomes much clearer, and it really lifts my mood. This cheap method saves me dozens of dollars a year on cleaning products and is more environmentally friendly—a real win-win.

For cleaning car windows, I prefer natural methods, using lemon juice or baking soda mixed with water as cleaners. They are non-toxic, biodegradable, and inexpensive. Dampen a cloth with the solution to wipe the glass surfaces, paying special attention to window edges and rearview mirror areas to ensure no spots are missed. Then, dry with a clean cloth for a shiny finish. Avoid chemical products to prevent water and soil pollution, contributing to environmental protection. Opt for old T-shirts or microfiber cloths to recycle and reduce waste. In cold weather, use warm water to prevent frost, and in summer, work indoors to avoid temperature effects. Adopting these small changes as habits ensures safer driving and can be shared with friends for more tips exchange.
