How to Make a Wiper at Home (DIY)

A small hand wiper is useful for cleaning mirrors, glass, tiles, and car windows. You can easily make one at home with simple materials.

Materials Needed

• A plastic strip or old plastic ruler

• Piece of rubber sheet (you can cut from an old slipper or tire tube)

• Strong glue / Fevicol / super glue

• Small handle (wooden stick or old toothbrush handle)

• Cutter or scissors

Steps

1. Cut the Rubber
   Cut the rubber sheet in a straight strip about the same length as your plastic strip.
   Make sure the edge is smooth – this edge will work as the wiper blade.

2. Attach the Rubber to Plastic
   Apply glue along one side of the plastic strip.
   Press the rubber strip firmly onto it and let it dry.

3. Fix the Handle
   Attach the handle to the back side of the plastic strip.
   Glue it or tape it tightly so it doesn’t move.

4. Check the Edge
   The rubber should be straight for smooth wiping. Trim if needed.

5. Ready to Use
   Your homemade wiper is ready. Simply drag the rubber edge across glass with light pressure.

Tips

• For better grip, wrap cloth or tape around handle.

• Use strong rubber for clean wiping.

• Works best on smooth surfaces like mirrors and tiles.
