Is there a way to clean a car windscreen with vinegar? I’ve heard that it gets rid of streaks.

Vinegar doesn’t evaporate like water, so it’s a great tool for cleaning your windshield without leaving
streaks
! Follow these steps to clean your windscreen with vinegar:
  • First, mix together one part hot water and one part distilled vinegar.
  • Next, spray the solution directly on the windscreen.
  • If you’re cleaning the interior, spray the solution on a microfiber cloth first to avoid accidentally spraying the dashboard.
  • Wipe down the windscreen using a microfiber cloth or a sponge.
For the best results, park your car out of direct sunlight. The sun will make your car dry faster than you can clean! The result could be streaks and water spots.
