Keeping your windshield clean while you are driving is essential and unfortunately, there are many things that can gum up the works so to speak.

Mud, bugs, and other debris can accumulate on your windshield and cause residue that is hard to see through.

While you can always run to the store and buy windshield washer fluid, isn’t making your own a much better idea?

We think so, which is why we found a great recipe for you that lets you make your own.

To make your own washer fluid, you just need to mix a gallon of water with 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and ½ cup of ammonia (for anti freeze or vinegar.

You can also add a few drops of food coloring so that you know what the liquid is for.

Just mix this up in a gallon-sized jug and fill your reservoir whenever needed to keep your windshield clean and sparkly.

There are other recipes that do not contain vinegar.

You can also mix about 16 ounces of rubbing alcohol with 1 tablespoon of dish soap and enough water to fill a gallon jug. This works well too.

Or, you can substitute vodka for the rubbing alcohol and instead of dish soap, use liquid castile soap.

    • You act like you are so intelligent... An intelligent person would add the reciprocating ")" as intended (for antifreeze) or vinegar. If you truly understand the English language, you might rephrase it in your mind as 1/2 cup of ammonia or vinegar (for antifreeze). I agree it would have been better without the typo, but do you need to attack the person?

  11. Just a heads up - when I used the castille soap + vinegar version, the soap instantly crystallized in the gallon jug. Not sure if that one is great, but maybe the others will be better.
