Maybe they used the concentrated washer fluid at the wrong concentration.

You can use a glycol test kit. They are used to determine gasket leaks in large systems (industrial systems). T
A hydrometer or refractometer could spot a difference with a known washer fluid but it can't determine the chemical contaminant.
But the complaint was smearing which is a known effect of glycol. No concentration of washer fluid is going to cause that.
Flush the system and its solved. 2 min work and $1 worth of washer fluid. For that no one's going to mess around with laboratory tests.
