#WindshieldWasherFluid

A clean windshield is an integral part of having a safe driving experience. Along with high-quality windshield wipers, you’ll want to make sure you’re using a proper windshield washer fluid to keep your front windshield clean in between car washes. You’re probably thinking most windshield washer fluids are all the same, but that’s hardly the case. Some formulas are so ineffective that they’re basically like water. Proper windshield washer fluids will break down dirt, dust, debris, and even bugs on your windshield for a proper wipe. For this reason, you also want to avoid refilling your reservoir with water when you run out unless you have absolutely no other option. Think of wiper fluid as a liquid detergent for your windshield.

Windshield washer fluid can harbor the bacteria that cause Legionnaires’ disease, a deadly form of pneumonia.

With summer now on the way, there’s a good chance you and your family are planning a road trip. This year, AAA estimates it’ll aid over eight-million motorists between Memorial Day and Labor Day; so avoid being a statistic by planning ahead.

Warning: Your car may be hazardous to your health. And we’re not talking about the usual dangers that being on the road entail. Your windshield-washer water may be making your car contagious.
