How to make washer fluid at home
To clean the windshield of our car by spending little money, you can do it directly at home and without much difficulty.
Generally the windshield washer fluid that we find in specialized shops contains methanol, harmful substance both for the environment and for the people who use it. By making a do-it-yourself product, this problem is solved, and therefore you gain both economically and in terms of health.
To be able to prepare this liquid at home you need few tools and few products. First of all we must have 3-4 liters of distilled water (the one used in the iron), ideal for preventing limescale from accumulating in the washing system pump and on the windscreen, blocking and ruining the entire system. Then you need to add del glass cleanerbetter if it is a product that makes little foam and finally you have to mix everything by shaking the container.
In this way we obtain an optimal product that does not risk damaging the glass of our windshield.
In addition to distilled water, which remains the basic product to form the washer fluid, other ingredients can also be added such as approx. 15ml of dish soap (always better if it makes little foam) and theammonia (about 120ml).
Also in this case it is necessary to mix all the substances well and start using this type of solution, which is highly recommended for those who often travel on muddy terrain.
If you want to create an ideal detergent especially during the winter, when temperatures drop far below 0, then it is good to add to the preparations indicated above also of denatured alcohol, about 240 ml. This allows the detergent not to freeze.
An excellent advice for those who live in the high mountains where, most of the time, the temperatures are really low.
