Keeping your windshield wiper nozzles clean ensures a clear view of the road, especially in challenging weather. Cleaning these small but vital components is a simple process.
Here is a straightforward method to clean the external grime from your window wiper nozzles:
Simple Steps to Clean Wiper Nozzles
Cleaning the surface of your wiper nozzles helps remove accumulated dirt and debris that can obstruct the spray or look unsightly.
- Gather Your Supplies: You will need a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush), warm water, and a soft cloth.
- Loosen the Grime: Grab a small and soft brush, like a toothbrush dipped in warm water. Gently scrub the area around the nozzle openings. This will help to loosen up any grime in and around the nozzles. The warm water helps to soften dried-on dirt and residue from washer fluid.
- Wipe Away Debris: Next, use a soft cloth to wipe it away. Clean the area thoroughly, ensuring no loosened grime is left behind.
This method is effective for removing surface dirt, dust, and washer fluid residue that can build up on the nozzles.
Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of grime, keeping the exterior of your nozzles looking good and functioning properly against external blockages. While this method addresses external cleanliness, ensure your washer fluid reservoir is full and that the system is free of internal clogs if you experience poor spray patterns.
