Melting ice

Posted: Nov 13, 2013

This sounds like a great tip that I just saw on Facebook - if it works. To melt ice on your car windows, mix 2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water in a spray bottle and mist your windows. I hope it works, but I wonder if it will hurt the paint?;

Here's a tip I read several years ago that works - SAM

My parents live in an area where everything ices over in the winter months,and I read where laying a large towel over the windshield and back window at night prevented them from icing over. I tried it when I was visiting them, and it actually worked like a charm. I just used a couple of old large bath towels and the next morning peeled them off to totally dry surfaces. It worked great and was a real time-saver, too.

What did you do with the towels afterwards? Did you have a stash spot for them before you drove away? This sounds like it would work like a charm, but then you have a couple of wet towels leftover.

How do you keep the towels from blowing off?

Duct tape? - Saran wrap might work, too

Not the towel suggester - but...

...maybe they put the windshield wipers and rear window wipers in the mid position first. That would hold the towel on.

I would not use duct tape to tape the towel---that stuff is super sticky and you'd have another problem on your hands.

I have a garage, no ice ever - nonamehere

Wish I knew this - Before I moved to FL

I used to go out 20 mins before I had to leave the house and start the car and put the heat on full boost so the ice would slush off easily.

Darn, I wasted all that time when I didn't have to.

Gotta love FL. No more ice worries. Um, perhaps some other worries, but not ice worries.

It's heresy, I know, to challenge the cherished notion of America as "the melting pot" that we've been taught to believe in since childhood, but I've become convinced that Muslim and non-Muslim (especially Judeo-Christian) cultures are about as miscible as oil and water. I don't think that the concept of the "melting pot" was ever intended to imply that ALL cultures can be melded into one grand "super-culture." And what's more, I don't see anything wrong or "un-Am ...
