Never Have an Icy Windshield Again

Sharing is caring!

Winter in Texas does not mean tons of icy windshields, but in other parts of the US, it certainly does.

Want an easy solution to keep your windshield from icing up?

Mix together three parts white vinegar to one part water.

Pour it over your windshield and you’re good to go!

What is your trick?

  1. Can’t wait to try this. Living in Roseville Ca. we have a lot of frozen windshields and when you leave at the last minute it’s very stressful.

  2. We have this spray that instantly melts even the thickest ice, and I love how it works but wonder about how good/bad it could be for the environment. I’m going to try your way, that I know is environmentally sound. Thanks for the tip!

  3. Great tip. Are you saying that you should pour it over your windshield before or after the icing occurs? It would be easy enough to mix this in advance and keep it in the trunk. I had the ice scraper out this morning for the first time this year.
    My trick for keeping the windshield clear is to park my car in the garage. That backfired today when my windshield iced up while I was shopping in the mall.
    It hasn’t been much of a Winter so far this year, but I sure am ready for Spring!

    1. Doing it beforehand will keep your windshield from icing up.

      Pouring the solution on your windshield once it ices up will help melt the ice.

      Carrying it in your trunk is a great idea as well, but you could also put the solution right into your windshield wiper solution area under the hood.

      Thanks for reading, Greg!

  4. This is a first! I haven’t known that vinegar can be used for windshield on icing up. Kudos!

    Thanks for the great tip! Going to pin this one for future reference. I am sure this would work as good as rainX and for a lot less $!

  6. I have to tell my husband about this! Living in Utah this is a common thing in the winter. Luckily my car is in a covered parking spot, but my husband’s isn’t so he’s usually scraping his windshield every morning before heading to work. Thanks for the tip!

  7. Really?!? I can’t even believe it can be that easy. Will have to give it a try. Thanks!

  8. Ahhhh…something so simple. Will definitely have to try this for my daughter’s car. THANKS!!!

  9. Love this! Can’t wait to try it out.
