Simple ways to extend the life of «janitors»

Wiper blades, or simply "wipers" are indispensable assistants of the driver in any weather. They provide clear visibility of the road, cleaning the windshield from rain, snow, dirt and insects. But, like any car parts, "wipers" have their resource and wear out over time. Fortunately, there are simple ways to extend their life and save on frequent replacement. You can also make your car more recognizable and extraordinary if you use tuning accessories, a large assortment of which is available in our product catalog.

How to extend the service life of "janitors"

• Regularly clean the wiper blades : dirt, dust and sand on the rubbers impair the quality of glass cleaning and contribute to their premature wear. Wipe the rubber bands with a damp cloth at least once a week.
• Do not switch on dry glass: this leads to abrasion of rubber bands and scratches on the windshield. Be sure to sprinkle the glass with washing-up liquid before turning it on.
• Lift the "wipers" during severe frost: the "wipers" frozen to the glass can break off when you try to turn them on. Raise them during parking or use special protective covers if your car does not have a special wiper heating zone.
• Monitor the condition of the windshield: cracks, chips, and unevenness on the glass also contribute to the wear of rubber bands. Take care of timely glass repair.
• Use a high-quality washing liquid: a low-quality liquid may contain aggressive components that destroy the brush rubbers. Choose a liquid specially designed for the winter or summer period.

Additional recommendations

• Disinfect brushes once a year: soak them in a warm soapy solution for 15-20 minutes. This will help get rid of the accumulation of bacteria and improve the quality of glass cleaning.
• Do not save on "cleaners": cheap brushes made of low-quality materials will quickly fail. Choose brushes from well-known manufacturers.

By taking care of the "janitors", you ensure your safety and comfortable driving in any weather conditions.
