Winter weather can turn car ownership into a hassle, especially when frost or ice covers your windshield. Scraping ice is time-consuming, stressful, and a rough way to start the day.
A simple, budget-friendly trick can defrost car windows fast: mix two-thirds rubbing alcohol with one-third water in a spray bottle and keep it in your car. Spray it on icy windows, and the frost melts quickly. Rubbing alcohol works because it has a much lower freezing point than water, making it effective and inexpensive.
To prevent frost from forming, try placing a sock filled with kitty litter on your dashboard. It absorbs moisture inside the car, helping keep windows clear overnight.
These easy tricks can save time, money, and frustration on cold winter mornings.
