Watch the Weathermans Secret to Defrost Windshield in Seconds here:
You will need:
a Spray Bottle (the dollar store has them for $1)
1 bottle rubbing alcohol
water
- Use 2/3 part Alcohol to 1/3 part water. For example, if you want 3 cups of solution use 2 cups of alcohol and 1 cup of water.
- Mix them together, add to a spray bottle and spray the frosted windshield liberally. The mix can be left in the vehicle, it will not freeze.

☙ Apply non-stick cooking spray to the rubber seals around the doors
☙ Keep the windows clean on the inside as well as the outside. Dirt on the inside of the windshield allows moisture a surface in which to cling to, causing the inside to frost as well. Use these handy winter windshield wipes to keep the windshield clean.
This is a really great idea, I like the idea of watering it down slightly so it doesn’t affect the paint on the car over the course of the winter. Thanks Budget101!
