do you put tag water in your wind screen washer fluid reservoir ?

Everyone is missing the elephant in the room. The screen wash sprays on the outside of the screen and the driver is on the inside. So the risk of inhaling the spray is negligible, especially when the car is moving.

Also I have the windows shut when washing the screen, otherwise I get a soggy right arm.:)

For a more balanced view look here

ETA
The windscreen washers don't produce a aerosol spray as such, more a few jets of fluid aimed at different points on the screen.

So no chance of inhaling it through the air intake, or spraying the car behind you (jet misaligned), or spraying a pedestrian, or forgetting you've the window open then.

ROFLMAO at this thread.

Post #6 just about sums the whole thing up.

I just read an article that said one should use the special fluid one can buy, and not use tap water, as it prevents bacteria spreading.

wondering what ppl do in practise ?

tap water is fine you could pee in the washer bottle if needed. it not like your going drink it or eat off the windsheild now. think of all the crap that gets thrown up under the car bacteria is the last thing you would want ot worry about
