Screenwash gloopy

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, but I wondered if anyone had this problem before and if they managed to solve it.

My screenwash is all gloopy. I refilled it recently and it filled up pretty quickly, but whatever is in there is really thick and gloopy.

Does anyone has any bright ideas for getting it out?

Thanks!

Most cars over 5 yeras old have a gloopy/gell like substance at the bottom of their washers bottles to some degree or other due to screen wash residue. Its not uncommon for the filter on the washer pump to actually block in time. Its happened twice on my company vehicles which we tend to run for years.

Its easily washed out, the pain is removing the washer reservoir to do it.
