Windshield wipers can get quite dirty over time, especially if you don’t keep up with cleaning them. People often think that when you wash your car the soap cleans your windshield wipers but this isn’t the case. You can buy windshield wiper cleaning solutions at any automotive store but a great alternative is to use rubbing alcohol.

Rubbing alcohol not only makes your windshield wipers look brand new but it also helps to prevent streaks while you are using them. Rubbing alcohol only costs a fraction of what the dealership would be charging you and often cleans it just as good as any solution.
