Default Vert Windshield Washer Fluid Stain?

I haven't used the windshield washer on my new (2000) convertible because I'm worried about the blue liquid staining my ragtop.
Should I be concerned about this?

I think it would have shown staining by now if it was going to. I am sure the previous owners used it.

Ok, I am just down the road from you in Oceanside. When could you possibly be using the washer fluid in Southern California? Sorry I don't mean to sound like a smart a$$ Hat, but?...........Drive "around" the raindrops, I know you can do it! I hope you have a sense of humor! I guess you get the "June Gloom" like we do down here so it is wet in the mornings?

Don't know why the washer fluid would stain the top.
