Each day, it's a good idea to clean the windshields of each of the vehicles in your company's fleet. Whether you do this yourself or have someone from your maintenance crew do it, it's something that's smart to do daily for a few reasons.

1. Make Sure Your Business Is Professionally Represented

Your business is represented by the vehicles that you put out on the road. If you put out vehicles that have damaged or dirty windshields, damaged bodies or other visible damage and dirt, then it's going to make your business look less professional. Take pride in your company's reputation by making an effort to improve the look and condition of the fleet vehicles that go out on the roads. Starting by cleaning the windshields daily, which is an easy enough task to do, is a good way to get into the habit.

2. Improve Visibility for Drivers

Drivers who are driving vehicles that have dirty windshields just can't see what is going on ahead of them as well as drivers who are driving vehicles with clean windshields. It doesn't matter if your drivers are professionals with experience and good driving records. If their windshields are dirty, it can affect their driving. This obviously means that your employees could be more at risk of getting into dangerous accidents that hurt themselves or others.

It also increases the chance that your business is going to be held responsibly liable for some sort of accident. A quick clean-up of all fleet vehicle windshields helps make sure that drivers head out with vehicles with minimal visibility problems, even if they're running late and are in a hurry to get on the road in the morning.

3. Find Chips or Cracks Quickly

Your drivers have to let you know about problems that they have with the company vehicles that they drive, including cracks or chips. If they don't notice or mention problems with your windshields, though, there can be problems. A lot of minor windshield damage can actually be repaired. 

Even if this isn't a possibility with one of your fleet vehicles, making the windshield replacement promptly prevents drivers from potentially driving a car with a shattered windshield, which can happen quickly and seemingly unexpectedly when there's already damage to the glass. During the daily cleaning of the windshields, make sure to look out for these cracks and chips so that you can take action.
