Gasoline cleans windows???

Question

My b/f uses a little bit of gasoline to clean my windows. At first i was kinda worried because i smoke in the car but the windows came out spotless..do you think this is hazardous??

Answer 1

Gasoline is a fairly powerful solvent, which works well to clean grease and other "gunk" from stuff like windows. In controlled quantities it isn't much more harmful than something like Rain-X (which is a large part alcohol: another good flammable solvent). Once it evaporates (let it ventilate as well)--fairly quickly I might add--it's perfectly safe. That said, the actual exposure to the fumes your BF is undergoing before evaporation is much more harmful due to benzene and other additives in the fuel.

As a non-flammable household alternative, I'd suggest distilled white vinegar.

Answer 2

first and proper, person-friendly on the gas, person-friendly on the brake. the most important gasoline use is accelerating from a end, to any p.c.. attempt to capture the lighting fixtures fixtures, ward off end and bypass. at the same time as shifting alongside take care of a mild %.. ideally conserving the throttle reliable is extra important than reliable p.c.. enable hills furnish you with the outcomes you want. Cruise administration on hilly roads is a foul theory. the vehicle will develop the throttle to bypass up, enable off coming down. back the reliable throttle is larger. Use your superb judgment for sure. save the motor vehicle mild, do not haul a ton of stuff round with you. verify the tire pressure. Low tire pressure can make important will develop in gasoline utilization. (some autos worse than others) utilizing slower facilitates. It takes X gasoline to bypass X weight X p.c., there is not any way round that. do not run the A/C until eventually you extremely choose it. And save in options in a large number of automobiles the A/C runs on defrost/defog.

Of course it's hazardous. If you want to see how hazardous,
go over to http://www.archive.org/details/movies and you'll
find a really neat film about women in the 40's who used to use gasoline to get spots out of their clothing.

The lady in the film is doing this over her washtub and ends up causing a mini-explosion which sets her on fire.

Enjoy.

I don't see how that works, gasoline is made out of oil, and oil will leave a residue on everything it touches. Plus, don't it smell bad? Gasoline fumes can cause nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, and eye, nose, and throat irritation. I wouldn't recommend using gasoline for anything but its intended purpose.

Answer 5

well just think, the chemicals fume the air, the air carries out the window to the windshield, catch onto the chemical and explode the hood of your car. i use vinegar water. it comes out spotless and if you have tinted windows, it doesnt take off the tint.

Answer 6

He is being innovative.
Gasoline is too expensive to be used for cleaning but is available right away for the person who is too lazy to find a cleaning fluid in the kitchen.
What happened to your windshield washer? That would have been the first choice.

Answer 7

i would use windex cleaner... in fact even if they came out spotless go over it today with the windex to wash off any gasoline it might have... why would you want to risk getting your hair and face burned off...... and worse while driving!

Answer 8

Yes it is hazardous and stupid ... plus I think it will leave an oil residue which will appear once rain and wiper blade cojoin.

Answer 9

Not sure if it's hazardous......but I use rubbing alcohol....spotless windows....no remaining odor or residue.

in the 50's & 60's full service gas stations put a little gas in the windshield cleaning mixture. it worked well mixed with soap & water.
