If you don’t have a garage, you know what it means to remove the snow and defrost the windshield almost every single winter morning. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to do it much faster. A few minutes of sleep always make a difference!
As most of us do not have the comfort of leaving the car safe and sound parked in a warm garage, we have to leave the vehicle outside. This means that whenever the temperature drops below the freezing point, our cars get covered with snow or ice. Or both.
#1 Prevention
The easiest way is to prevent the windshield with a thermal cover once we park the car. The only disadvantage is that they are normally designed to fit the windscreens, so it doesn’t solve the problem completely.
#2 Isopropyl alcohol
This agent has got strong anti-grease, cleaning and disinfecting properties. You can easily buy it online or from chemical goods wholesalers.
Mix water with the alcohol in 1:2 ratio. Then pour the mixture into a spray bottle and in the evening spray it all over all the windows in your car. There will be no frost on them in the morning.
#3 WD-40
Another magical agent is WD-40. If you spray it on your windscreen. Once you spray it on your car windows, you won’t have to defrost them next morning.
Sometimes the windowscreens get frosty also inside. It is caused by excessive air humidity inside. Dump car mats or clothes are mostly those behind it. What can we do to prevent it?
#4 Get some air
After each drive give the car a lot of air by opening all doors. Wipe all windows clean and dry. After a few days you will see the difference. If you don’t, it’s time you bought a car moisture absorber.
#5 Salt
Finally a typical DIY way to get rid of the moisture. Pour some salt into a bowl and leave it for the night near the windscreen. There should be no frost in the morning.
