How to Clean Your Windshield from the Inside?
Between the rain and all kinds of splashes, such as mud, stones, and bird droppings, the windshield is exposed to countless dirt particles that can leave lasting marks if not cleaned regularly. The use of dirty and poorly maintained wipers can aggravate the problem. Drivers' visibility is directly affected by the condition of the windshield, so it is essential to keep it clean.
What Product Should I Use to Clean My Windshield?
To clean your windshield properly, use special cleaners and utensils designed to improve visibility and maintain the equipment's best possible condition without damaging the glass. Glass cleaning kits are available for purchase at Sekurit Partner installation centers, or you can make your own cleaning solution using soap, washing-up liquid, and lemon. Most glass cleaning detergents contain ammonia, which is very effective against tough stains but has a strong and slightly aggressive odor and should be used with care. Some drivers prefer gentler and more natural solutions such as homemade washing-up liquid made with Marseille soap, bicarbonate of soda, and white vinegar.
When cleaning the inside of your windshield, start by removing any debris or dust with a microfiber cloth. Then, apply the cleaning solution to a clean cloth or sponge and gently wipe the windshield, working in small sections at a time. Be sure to avoid getting any cleaning solution on the dashboard or other surfaces as it can cause damage. For stubborn stains, use a soft-bristle brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the area gently. Finally, use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the windshield dry, removing any streaks or residue.
In addition to cleaning the inside of your windshield, it is essential to check the level of the windshield washer and the condition of the wiper blades regularly. Worn or damaged wiper blades can scratch the glass or leave streaks, reducing visibility. Replace wiper blades as soon as they show signs of wear or damage.
In conclusion, cleaning the inside of your windshield is crucial for maintaining good visibility while driving. Use special cleaners and utensils designed for glass cleaning, and check the level of the windshield washer and the condition of the wiper blades regularly. Whether you opt for commercial cleaning products or natural solutions, apply them carefully with a microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the glass and ensure optimum vision.
