How Do I Quickly Defrost my Windshield?

Everybody has a different reason for hating the winter. It is cold, snow is annoying, ice makes the roads and sidewalk slippery, and a handful of other reasons are all core reasons to be upset with Jack Frost. Spring simply can’t come fast enough for some people. 

While we are stuck in winter, we will have to find ways to deal with it. Frosty windows are one of the biggest sources of frustration in the winter. You wake up and just want to get to work but have to spend 15- or 20-minutes scraping ice from your windshield. We have some ideas to get that work done faster so you can get to your real work. 

Quick Ways to Defrost a Windshield 

Some people will think that melting the ice is an easy way to clear things up. Hot or boiling water might actually be the worst thing to try. If it really is freezing outside, then the water is just going to freeze and now there is another layer of ice.  At worst, the temperature shock could crack and break your glass. You need something that is quick and ready for multiple uses.

A mixture of one-third water and two-thirds rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle might be the easiest option. It won’t freeze easily and can help melt ice on your windows and door handles. Quickly scrape off any excess ice or snow and you should be ready to go. This is one of the easiest tricks we’ve found.
