The Story in Brief
A diluted vinegar-and-water mix can remove mineral deposits and grime from car windscreens, offering a low-cost alternative to commercial cleaners. However, it is not effective against oily films or heavy road grime and should not be used on painted surfaces or specialised coatings, where it may cause damage. The hack has gained attention as monsoon rain increases the need for clear visibility, but experts stress that a functioning defogging system and well-maintained wiper blades are essential for safe driving in sudden downpours.
The Indian Opinion
The internet loves a one-ingredient miracle, and vinegar as a windscreen cleaner is the latest. Social media posts promise a cure-all for monsoon haze, but car owners should not toss their commercial glass cleaners just yet. The real test is not a clean pane but sudden, heavy rain on a highway. Worn wipers, not dirty glass, cause dangerous smearing. Instead of debating which spray works, check if your rubber blades leave streaks. That simple test does more for safety than any viral hack.
