Do this as soon as possible, if you have indeed used screen wash instead of antifreeze by mistake.

It's important to check the owner's manual for specific capacity and recommendations for the type of coolant to use. Always ensure to mix antifreeze with water according to the manufacturer's specifications if using concentrated antifreeze.
If you mean CLEAN antifreeze, the answer is no. Hydrometers are used to check if still OK. Also a good idea to flush radiator and add new coolant twice a year, in spring and fall.
