Spring Cleaning for Your Vehicle: Don’t Forget the Windshield

1 MIN READ | MARCH 20, 2025

Spring has sprung, and for many of us, that means it’s time to roll up our sleeves and give our vehicles a well-deserved deep clean. After battling months of winter’s icy grip, road salt, and unpredictable temperatures, most of our cars are craving a little TLC. But, amid the washing and waxing, there’s one important area that’s often overlooked: your windshield.

Think of your windshield as your eyes on the road. A sparkling clean, well-maintained windshield isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about boosting your visibility, warding off potential long-term damage, and ensuring that every drive is as safe and enjoyable as possible. So, as you tackle your spring cleaning checklist, make sure to tackle your windshield, as well. And if your windshield sustained chips or cracks over the winter, it’s important to schedule a windshield replacement or windshield repair in spring, too!

Spring Cleaning for Your Vehicle: How to Clean the Windshield

Ready to give your windshield a spring refresh? Follow these easy steps for a streak-free shine:

Wash Away Winter Grime on the Exterior:

  • Use glass cleaner or a solution of water and vinegar.
  • Wipe the exterior of your windshield in overlapping circular motions with a clean microfibre cloth.
  • Pay close attention to built-up dirt in the edges and corners.
  • Use a plastic scraper or soft sponge in particularly difficult areas.

Clean the Interior:

  • Use the same glass cleaner and a fresh microfibre cloth to wipe down the inside of the windshield.
  • Use both horizontal and vertical strokes to wipe fingerprints, smudges, and haze.
  • Wipe the base of the windshield to reduce dust and film.

Don’t Forget the Wiper Blades

  • Wipe down your wiper blades gently with a damp cloth and a touch of mild soap to remove grime
  • Check your blades for cracks, splits, or stiff areas – if issues arise, replace them.
  • Top off your wash fluid to ensure you can keep your field of vision clear when on the road.

Inspecting Your Windshield for Damage

A big part of spring cleaning for your vehicle is ensuring that it’s safe for the road. Determining whether you need a windshield repair or replacement in spring is important. Take a few moments to inspect your windshield for any new chips or cracks that might have appeared:

  • Carefully scan the glass for small chips or those tell-tale “bullseye” marks from rock impacts. These seemingly minor flaws can spread over time, especially with temperature fluctuations.
  • Address any damage sooner rather than later. A small chip repair is often quick and affordable, preventing the need for a full (and more expensive) windshield replacement down the road.
  • If you spot any spiderweb cracks or deep fractures, schedule a professional repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety and the structural integrity of your vehicle.

A little inspection now can save you from bigger headaches and expenses later in the season.

Don’t Neglect Your Windshield This Spring

Spring cleaning for your car is about more than just making it look good. Your windshield plays a vital role in your safety and overall driving experience. By taking a few extra minutes to clean, inspect, and maintain it, you’ll be setting yourself up for a season of confident and clear driving. So, roll down your windows, enjoy the fresh spring air, and make sure your view of the road ahead is crystal clear!
