smelly washer bottle
« on: June 17, 2009, 22:02:32 »
Help

I've got a smelly washer bottle I've flushed out with fresh water at high preasure refilled with clean screen wash and within a few weeks its that bad it makes you wanna throw up after using the screen wash!!! :twisted:

I've run out of ideas apart from getting a new one but there nothing wrong with apart from the awful stench!!!

Hi i had that problem a while ago    with my galaxy               and i emptied the bottle and cleaned it   then refilled it with fresh water and added 3 sterilising tablets to it         did the trick for me  after i had used that in the bottle it was fine with a new mix of screen wash #

I too have had this problem, especially with Halfrauds screenwash after its been in for a few days and it stinks  :->. I have flushed the bottle out with fresh water and tried different makes of screenwash, all have usually ended up with an unusual smell. The one I'm using at the mo' and seems to be ok is a litre concentrate from the quid shop :shock:

Make up a strong batch of screenwash or chuck some fairy liquid in, both are not good for paintwork though.

Bottle brush works wonders.
