The car experts at insurance broker Keith Michaels PLC have been sharing their tips for de-icing car windscreens.
One is to use vinegar, which most of us have lying around at home but costs very little if you don’t.
The experts suggest combining three parts vinegar to one part water into a mixture.
Then pour it into a spray bottle and spray it liberally for a quick way to de-ice a car.
They reckon this homemade de-icer will quickly break down the ice and clear the screen.
But there’s another tip that will save you even more time by stopping the ice from forming in the first place.
It involves another three things most of us already have – a towel, water and salt.
The experts say you could try soaking an old towel in a solution made up of water and table salt and then place it over your car windows the night before.
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, so moisture is prevented from frosting over on your screen.
Other hacks this winter include rubbing an onion all over your screen to prevent frost build-up.
