Distilled water query

Because I am now using a dehumidifer to dry clothes I am regularly getting distilled water - what can I do with it apart from keep it for my iron (stopped ironing years ago) or pouring it away?

Suggestions would be great, thanks.

    Washing windows if you have enough you dont need to dry them to impurities which is what makes the stains on windows hence normally have to dry them with a window wiper

    Show me a car made in the last 25 years that doesn't have a 'sealed for life' battery.

    I can show you one outside my door and the battery is only 7 months old.;)

    Many thanks for all the replies - like the ones about car washer bottles and cleaning windows.

    Will also offer the water to my local car repair place, see if they can use it.

    Cheers

    If you have loads of it you can also rinse your car once you've washed it and no need to dry, a real bonus.
