I poured about a quart of antifreeze into my windshield washer reservoir by mistake. What should I do?

Can you find the "out hose" follow it to the next fitting then disconnect it there (probably where it splits off to the nozzles). Extend that hose if necessary. Stick it into a container then run the washer till it is empty. Add a little water to flush it on out. Reconnect the hose and fill with washer juice.

Other than that, remove the whole container and dump it out.

Let us know how it goes.
