Save Money on Wiper Blades

Tired of buying new wiper blades for your car every winter?  Clean them off frequently.  This is a quick and easy solution that's guaranteed to extend the life of your wipers.

When you drive, your windshield wipers accumulate dirt and road grime that coats the rubber blade, leading to smearing, streaks and annoying skipping. To combat that debris, use Windex, or even soapy water, and a paper towel to remove the worst of the grime. Spray the towel, wipe the blade, repeat with the other blade. You'll be shocked how much grime comes off, and love the money you save on replacing those windshield wipers.

Here's another tip.  If you have to replace one blade, try replacing only one.  The wipers may not match, but as long as they move unimpeded, there is no need to replace the blade that is undamaged.

How do you clean your wiper blades?
