Can I Prevent Ice Build-Up on my Windshield?

Windshields that are iced over might be one of the worst things to wake up to. You want to get to work as quickly as possible, but now you have to spend a few minutes freezing and scraping at the ice. If it is particularly thick, then the morning seems even less fun.

It happens every day during the winter, but that doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. Most people would stop it from happening at all if that were possible.  Thankfully, there are actually a lot of different ways to lessen the impact of Jack Frost during your morning routine.

Preventing Ice On Your Windshield

It isn’t as hard to prevent the ice from building up on your windshield as you might think. Some people might think it takes some fancy gadget or gizmo to fight back against winter’s chilly touch. If you are looking for a do-it-yourself way, then you just need some cardboard or a towel. You just need to take a towel or piece of cardboard large enough to cover your windshield and secure it over the windshield for the night. In the morning, just peel the towel or cardboard off and you shouldn’t have as much ice to deal with anymore.

There are also some at-home sprays or oils you can use to cover your windshield. Some people use half of an onion to coat their windows. Vinegar or rubbing alcohol mixed with water can also be applied to your windshield overnight. These solutions can help give your windshield a bit of protection from the frost.
