How do you get bugs off of a car grill?

What’s the best way to get bugs off of a car grill? We just got back from a road trip and there are so many bugs crusted on the front of my car. I’d like to clean them off, but I don’t know how to!

It can be frustrating when bugs get into your car grille. Luckily, it’s easy to get bugs off your grille, with dryer sheets! All you need to do is:
  • Wet a dryer sheet, and
  • wipe them off your grille.
You can also remove the bugs with soap and water by:
  • Spraying car wash soap like Armor All Car Wash on your grille,
  • scrubbing it in with a car wash mitt, and
  • letting it sit for ten minutes before rinsing it off.
While dryer sheets work for barred grilles, which are easier to clean out, you may be best off using car wash soap for mesh grilles. The little nooks and crannies in some types of grilles can be much harder to reach with a dryer sheet!
