If you’re running late for work in the morning, the last thing you want to see in your driveway is a car with completely frosted-over windows. Driving with ice on your windshield is unsafe, Scraping it off with an ordinary ice scraper takes valuable time and can even scratch the glass. Luckily, these aren’t your only options. De-ice your windows with any of these quick, easy tricks.

Method 1.Using a De-Icer

1.Buy a commercial de-icer or make your own. Specially-formulated de-icing fluid is available at most filling stations, garages, and supermarkets; especially if you live in an area with cold winters. However, if you don’t have any de-icer on hand or you just want to save money, it’s not hard to make your own. Follow the simple instructions below:
•To make your own de-icer, pour rubbing alcohol into a clean, dry spray bottle. Add a few drops of dish soap. Screw the lid on, then invert several times to mix.

2.Spray your de-icer on the window. Whether you bought de-icer or made your own, you’ll use it the same way. Spray your de-icer directly on to the icy parts of your window, then allow it to soak in briefly. You shouldn’t need to wait more than a minute or two – the more de-icer you use, the less time you’ll have to wait.

3. Scrape as normal. Use a plastic scraper, a gloved hand, or another tool to scrape the ice away. You should find that it comes off of your window much quicker and easier than it normally would, saving you time overall. If needed, re-apply your de-icer to difficult spots as you scrape.
•In commercial concentrations, rubbing alcohol has a very low freezing point, so it’s usually OK to leave your de-icer in the car.

Method2.Using a Credit Card

1.Turn your car’s heated window on. This last-resort method is appropriate when you don’t have lukewarm water, de-icing fluid, or any conventional scraping tools at your disposal – for instance, if your car’s window froze in the car park whilst you were at work. Because you’re going to attempt to remove the ice with a credit card or other improvised tool, it’s wise to give yourself as much help as possible. To begin, start your car and turn on your heater/defroster up as high as it goes. Leave this running throughout the process – over time, it will soften and begin to melt the ice, making your job much easier.

2.Find an appropriate credit card. Dig through your wallet to find a credit card or any similar stiff, solid plastic card. Don’t use a laminated card – these aren’t stiff or sturdy enough to scrape the ice effectively. If possible, try to use a card that isn’t important to you, like an old, expired credit card, as this method carries the risk of damage to your card. However, don’t keep it for too long, as your card provider would recommend that you destroy your old card as soon as possible for counter-fraud purposes.

3.Start scraping. Hold the long edge of your card at an angle against the window and push firmly. Try to keep the card as straight as possible, not allowing it to bend or flex as you scrape. If you do, you may end up deforming or breaking it.
•Be persistent! As far as scrapers go, credit cards can require more effort than dedicated scrapers. You may need to push quite hard to get results.
•If you’re worried about breaking your card, you may want to double or triple the strength of your scraper by holding two or three cards stacked as you scrape.

4.Use your wipers and fluid to assist. As you scrape ice away, you’ll probably accumulate ice shavings at the edges of the window. Periodically, spray wiper fluid and run the wipers for a few seconds. The wiper fluid can help soften up any remaining ice, while the wipers themselves will help brush the ice shavings out of the way. Between the scraping action of your credit card, your wipers and fluid, and your defroster, your window should be free of ice within a few minutes.
