You might say one of the most agonizing things about winter is having to defrost or de-ice your windshield in the morning before you can hit the road.Â
Instead of the manual labor of scraping your windshield, try this homemade solution.Â
You need three things:Â
Mix:Â
- Take 1 part water and 2 parts rubbing alcohol and combine themÂ
- Pour the mixture into the spray bottle
Now you can spray that mixture onto your windshield. The frost and ice should start to melt within a minute.Â
Why it works:Â
- The low freezing point of rubbing alcoholÂ
Try this, and remember to leave the spray in your car.Â
NEVER DO THIS:Â
- Do not pour hot water on your cold window. The glass can crack.Â
