This simple and economical tip will save you the chore of scraping your car windows when it’s freezing.
The cold has returned to a large part of France and this is not very good news for millions of motorists. The formation of black ice, snow or frost on the roads increases the risk of accidents and not all cars are equipped to drive in these extreme conditions. Frost also requires more preparation for everyone whose vehicle sleeps outside. Negative temperatures at night turn cars into ice and you often have to sacrifice your time to be able to hit the road safely.
It’s quite annoying when you’re in a hurry in the morning, but it’s imperative to remove the frost from your car’s windows before setting off. Between the windshield, side windows and mirrors, it takes several minutes to get rid of all the ice, especially when the layer is thick. But there is a way to avoid this chore which requires a lot of energy. A simple, inexpensive and incredibly effective tip that everyone should know. A single product, mixed with water, prevents the formation of frost on windows. No more wasting time in the cold scratching your windshield and windows with frozen hands, this homemade recipe works every time.
It only takes a few seconds to prepare the mixture. To do this, you only need three things: water, white vinegar and a clean spray bottle. Pour two-thirds of a liter of white vinegar (66 centiliters) and a third of a liter of water (33 centiliters) into the container. Then shake the spray bottle so that the mixture is even. All that remains is to spray the solution over the entire surface of the windshield and windows of your vehicle and spread it everywhere with a cloth, the best being to do this before nightfall.
The alcohol contained in white vinegar, this true miracle product, will prevent the formation of frost during the night. The result is astonishing: when you wake up, the windows are clean, and if a little frost may have formed – it can happen – it is very easy to remove. Few motorists think about taking action to prevent the formation of ice and waste a lot of time in winter fighting against patches of frost. Not to mention that some people, who are too impatient, take the risk of starting off with a windshield that is not sufficiently clear, which prevents them from seeing the road, other vehicles and pedestrians.
It’s unfortunate, especially since this natural recipe costs almost nothing. Bottles of white vinegar can be found for less than a euro in many stores, which allows you to make great savings compared to chemical aerosols that can be found much more expensive in stores.
