Supplies Needed
- 1 clean, empty 1-gallon container
- Distilled or reverse osmosis (RO) water
- Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner Concentrate:
Regular Concentrate (100:1) or
Super Concentrate (180:1) - Optional: Non-toxic windshield washer antifreeze for cold weather (see below)
Instructions: Step One
- Add Distilled or Reverse Osmosis Water:Pour 1 gallon of distilled or RO water into a clean container. Using distilled or RO water helps prevent mineral buildup in your car’s washer system and ensures a streak-free windshield. Tap water often contains minerals that can clog jets and leave spots on your windshield. Learn more about RO water here.
STEP 2
Mix in Enviro-One Green Cleaner:Add Enviro-One to the gallon of water and shake or stir well to blend:
-
- Regular Concentrate: Add 3 tablespoons
- Super Concentrate: Add 1.5 tablespoons
Enviro-One’s natural, plant-based formula safely removes road grime, bug splatter, and dirt without the need for toxic chemicals.
STEP 3
Pour into Vehicle’s Windshield Washer Reservoir:Carefully pour the prepared solution into your car’s windshield washer fluid reservoir. Be sure to label any remaining mix and store it safely for future use.
FOR COLD WEATHER
-
In colder climates, it’s important to prevent your windshield washer solution from freezing. To keep your Enviro-One windshield wash blend functional during freezing temperatures, you can add a small amount of vegetable-based glycerin—a safe, non-toxic ingredient derived from plants.
Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin per gallon of your windshield washer solution. Glycerin lowers the freezing point of water while maintaining the eco-friendly and non-toxic integrity of your mix.
Note: Always test a small batch to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s system and climate conditions.
OPTIONAL
Add Food Coloring for Sensor-Equipped Vehicles
Some modern vehicles use windshield washer fluid level sensors that rely on the color or opacity of the fluid to detect its presence. Because Enviro-One Green Cleaner mixed with distilled water is clear, the sensor may not register the fluid properly. To fix this, simply add a few drops of food-grade coloring (such as blue or green) to the mixture. This helps the sensor detect the fluid while keeping your solution non-toxic and eco-friendly.
Tip: Use natural or plant-based food coloring if available to maintain the safety and integrity of your eco-friendly formula.
Eco-Friendly Tip:
Once you’ve emptied your gallon of Enviro-One™ Regular Concentrate or Super Concentrate, don’t waste the remaining soap residue! Fill the empty bottle with purified water, shake it well, and use the soapy rinse water to refill your windshield washer fluid container with Enviro-One’s Non-Toxic solution.
