Step 1
Purchase a can of deicer. Look for it in the automotive section of your local discount department store. Choose one that contains an alcohol-based solvent. Alcohol decreases the freezing point of water and melts ice off the windshield.
-
Step 2
Store the deicer so it is readily available. Keep it in your garage throughout the winter months. If your windshield ices over frequently during your work hours, carry a can of deicer in the car.
-
Step 3
Apply the deicer. Shake the can vigorously before using. Spray a light coating of deicer over the windshield and windshield wipers. Insert the applicator straw into the nozzle of the can. Fill the interior of the windshield wipers with deicer.
-
Step 4
Let the deicer do the work. Avoid the temptation to blast the ice off with the deicer. Spray the deicer gently and wait calmly for a couple of minutes as the chemicals melt the ice.
