How to keep your windshield from frosting over\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our favorite DIY frost-preventing tip is to mix three parts\u00a0vinegar\u00a0with one part water in a spray bottle, and spray the windshield the night before a frost. Once you spray, you’ll want to wipe off any extra moisture with an old rag. The solution can also be used to melt existing frost or ice that’s already formed on your windshield, but make sure that the mixture is room temperature. Solutions that are too hot or too cold can cause cracks in the windshield, which would lead to expensive repairs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re looking for another way to melt a frozen windshield faster, two parts\u00a0alcohol\u00a0and one part water will do the trick as well. This trick can also be used the night before a\u00a0frost. Our last favorite DIY trick for keeping frost off of your windshield is to put a layer of cardboard over your windshield (on the exterior side) and secure the cardboard in place with your windshield wipers. Then, if it frosts overnight, you can simply remove the cardboard from your windshield. No scraping necessary!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
