This Time-Saving Hack Clears Ice Off Your Windshield Without A Scraper

Ice ice baby! Winter is coming, which means endless mornings of scraping the ice off your windshield and windows before you head into work.

I found a brilliant hack to save you a few minutes each day and keep you from scraping your car, or wasting gas by turning your car on for 5 minutes each morning to run the defroster.

Simply use a spray bottle filed with 2/3 of rubbing alcohol and 1/3 cold water. Spray on the windshield and the ice will dissipate. Cheap, easy and fast – what more could you ask for?

As a few readers have pointed out, be sure to use cold water as warm water could cause the window to crack.

Be sure to share with friends and family that hate scraping their windows as much as I do.
