How do I remove bugs from the front of my car?

I just came back from a road trip to Georgia, and there are a lot of bugs stuck to my front bumper. How can I remove bugs from the front of my car?

Great question! There are several ways to remove bugs from the front of your car, but the easiest is to use a dryer sheet/fabric softener sheet dipped in water.
When you dip a dryer sheet in water, the mild detergent it contains begins to foam up and becomes soapy—combine this with the fact that fabric softener sheets are ever-so-slightly abrasive, making for a great bug removal tool that won’t harm your vehicle’s paint job.
With this method, you’ll be able to easily remove even the most stubborn stuck insects and bug guts from your front bumper—just make sure to rinse and wash the area after the bugs are removed.
If this doesn’t work or if you don’t have dryer sheets on hand, you can always purchase a dedicated bug-removal spray to get rid of those pesky insects.
Hope this helps!
