Winter driving hack: Speed up your morning routine with ease
Morning frosts and icy windows are a nightmare for many drivers. How can you quickly remove ice and frost without much effort and still make it to work on time? Discover a simple trick that will make your morning chore less troublesome.
Not everyone can afford the luxury of parking in a garage. One downside of this situation is having to scrape the windows in the morning. This task annoys us, prolongs our morning routine, and increases stress levels. Winter is a real test of patience for such drivers. Fortunately, you can make this task easier. Just start using your scraper correctly.
Do you know how to use a scraper?
Charlotte Brown, a TikTok user, demonstrated a method that could revolutionise your morning window scraping. It turns out that the key to success lies in the proper use of the scraper.
You should first use the side with the distinctive bumps to make the ice come off more easily. Only in the second step should you use the flat side of the scraper. This significantly speeds up the process, allowing you to eliminate the layer of ice on the windows quickly, advises Charlotte in her instructional video.
Homemade window solution: Cheap and effective
Scraping windows can lead to scratches, which generate additional costs in the long run. A homemade defrosting solution is a good alternative to traditional ice removal methods. It is simple to prepare, and you probably already have the ingredients at home.
To make this solution, you need 60ml of vinegar, 60ml of alcohol, 30ml of washing-up liquid, and approximately 1 litre of water. Just mix the ingredients well and pour them into a spray bottle. In the morning, spray this mixture on icy window surfaces and locks. The ice will dissolve in no time, and you won't be tired and frustrated right from the start.
