Winter Bike Cleaning

[Guth_imp]

I know white vinegar (5% acetic acid) will remove salt from car mats. But the mats will smell like a chip wagon until shampooed. Also great for cleaning sulphated metal terminals on battery powered items like flashlights.

We park our car in the garage in the winter so it doesn't gather snow and allows the snow blower to clean our driveway. Unfortunately the car will drag in a lot of slush in the wheel wells which makes the concrete floor a rear mess. I took advantage of the recent January thaw to clean the floor with a container of windshield washing fluid and a broom. It melts the slush down so it can be swept out the door. The windshield wiper fluid will dry even in cold weather. If the garage faces the sun, leaving the door open will speed up the drying process.

Wait, is this supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?
