When it comes to cleaning the light residue that some vapers claim vaping leaves behind on car windows, there are some very simple solutions. So if you’re looking for an easy way to clean or remove the residual vapour that might have built up on the interior of your car’s windows, simply read the tips we’ve put together and your windows will be looking good as new in no time at all.
How To Clean Car Window Vape Residue
All you really need to do to clean the thin film that vaping might leave behind on your windows is get a rag and some glass cleaner. Actually, you don’t even need a glass cleaner. You could use a little water to wet the rag or a mixture of soap and water. It’s not terribly important what you choose to use so long as it’s a little wet to decrease friction and help scrub away any tough spots. If you run into a tough spot, our guess is that it’s not actually vape residue but rather something else that’s on your window. Either way, a little elbow grease is usually all it takes to rid your glass of anything that’s on it.
Follow these steps to clean vapour residue from car glass windows:
- Spray the windows using a spray bottle filled with either water, water and soap, or a glass cleaning solution.
- Use a clean rag or some type of relatively soft and absorbent cloth to scrub off any residue. You might have to put a little effort into it if you run into a hard-to-clean spot.
- Dry the windows using a dry rag to avoid any water spots from being left behind.
Tips For Cleaning Vape Residue
Here are some tips for cleaning vapour residue from automobile windows.
Best Rag For Cleaning Car Glass Windows
You might want to use a microfiber towel to wipe your windows because they’re considered the best for the task as they offer a high level of absorbency and they won’t scratch your windows thanks to how soft they are. Ideally, use a lint-free microfiber rag to avoid having small bits of lint stuck to your windows and floating around your car once you’re done.
Automotive professionals tend to favour microfiber towels for cleaning car windows.
Best Glass Cleaning Solutions
If you do choose a glass cleaning solution, make sure it’s designed for cars and not for homes. There is a difference as the two are formulated specifically for their intended task.
You might also consider any of the following in place of auto glass cleaner:
- White vinegar
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Distilled water
- Soap and water
To make your own cleaning solution, you might try one of these two formulas:
- 50% alcohol, 50% distilled water, and a capful of white vinegar.
- 15% alcohol, 70% distilled water, and 15% window cleaner.
Add the ingredients to an empty bottle with a spray nozzle and gently shake the bottle once all of the ingredients have been added to properly mix them together.
Best Motion For Cleaning
Use small circular motions to clean off any residue and always clean top to bottom. You might want to use one side of your microfiber towel to clean and the other side to dry. It is important that you avoid using a dirty towel to clean the windows because there could be abrasive material attached to the towel that might scratch your windows.
