How to remove ice from a windshield easily and safely
Not sure how to remove ice from a car windshield? We will tell you how to do it. After all, this winter promises to be harsh and in the morning you will be greeted by a car with frosted windows.
Home Ways to Remove Ice from Glass
To begin with, in no case is it advised not to use in this situation:
- Salt. Although it eats away ice, in this case it is not an option. You risk damaging the glass.
- Boiling water. Hot water in this case will only aggravate the situation.
Speaking of home co-savings, here are the most popular for you:
- Raw potatoes. Sounds weird. Take a half of raw, peeled potatoes and rub the glass. The result will surprise you.
- Vinegar. Mix water with vinegar and wipe it with the problem area of the windshield.
Other safe glass cleaning methods
- Let's start with the traditional one: start the engine, turn on the heater with the fan on, and direct the air flow towards the windshield.
- Alcohol: Spraying the windshield with alcohol - its freezing point is lower than that of water. This is a fairly fast option, but only if the ice layer is not thick
- Professional remedies: sprays, liquids
- Scratch the ice by hand: ideally, do this with a special plastic squeegee. If you don't have one on hand, use a blank plastic card, not metal objects.
