When you are one of those people who just need to be less of a clutterbug, all you want to do is get rid of things that take too much unnecessary space in your home. This is not limited to the products you purchase for your car. Yes, I am talking about windshield wiper fluid containers.You know that you can not miss those large and bulky bins of blue-green liquid because they are as big as a half gallon of artificially-flavored juice, if not bigger.
But, it really does not have to be this way. You do not have to be worrying over carrying such a giant bin of methanol in your car, your garage shelf, or anywhere you typically keep your windshield wiper fluid.
That is why there is the advent of concentrate. There are concentrated versions of these windshield washers that are all compactly poured into such small pine-sol-sized bottles. They take up about 1/5th of the space and also cost a fraction of the price of diluted versions.
That sounds like a great bargain and a great step towards space efficiency.
Most often is the case where all you would have to do was take only a cap full of the windshield wiper fluid concentrate, pour it into the reservoir of the car, and fill the rest with one gallon of water.
It is definitely a convenient-sounding solution (pun intended), because you will most likely be able to grab a water source almost everywhere you go. You would just have to make sure the water was distilled or purified so there would be no minerals lingering in the car's pipings.
If you think about it, using a cap full of the wiper fluid with a gallon full of water means that with that small bottle of concentrate, you would (on average) be diluting 7 gallons of windshield wiper concentrate.
Depending on how rainy the weather is, or how many bugs come splatting against your windshield, that small bottle could last you for several months to a year.
So, while that bottle of windshield wiper fluid concentrate will take up about 2-3 inches of space on your garage shelf, or in your car's trunk, you can be on your way towards becoming a far more efficient and frugal car owner. Sounds like a simple yet very nice tip, doesn't it?
