Rainx washer fluid damaging sensor

I replaced my washer fluid sensor 6 months ago.
Now I am having the same issue. Washer fluid light is coming on all the time even with the full washer fluid tank.

Today I realized that i have been using RainX washer fluid. After doing some research I learned that the fluid is creating a film on the sensor that causes a fault reading (no conductivity).

I wonder if I can clean it without taking it apart since it was a PIA to get to!

Has anyone else had this problem?

maybe just keep filling with water and sucking out old fluid with something ...
As you know to access that you may need to remove inner fender lining on that drivers side front. PIA. Never heard of this so thanks for the warning to us!!!
