MOTORISTS are only just learning of a strange new hack that experts claim can be key to defrosting a car’s windscreen.
With the UK mornings beginning to get frostier, drivers across the nation are keen to find easier and quicker ways to defrost their windshields ahead of the morning commute.
This age old problem could soon been solved with the use of a popular food item that’s often left lying around our homes at this time of year.
That’s because according to the team of experts over at Motor Match, leftover pumpkin could be the answer to your frosted-over car windows.
According to the experts, you shoud ‘make sure to chop up the skin of the pumpkin and rub the inner layer on your windscreen for fast defrosting’.
It’s said that secret behind this game-changing hack is in the starch content, which can be found in pumpkins and potatos, and works as a natural ice-melting agent that acts as a barrier between the ice and the glass of your windscreen, preventing it from re-freezing quickly.
When applied to your frost-covered windscreen, it can help break down the frost and makes scraping it off much easier.
This means you’ll spend less time in the cold, scraping away at your frosty windshield – just remember to keep some leftover pumpkin aside after your Halloween party.
Meanwhile, one of the UK’s largest energy firms has launched its ‘cheapest energy deal ever’ specifically for EV drivers that could save customers £100s on charging.
This comes after drivers have been rushing out to buy 40p B&M essential to keep their car toasty warm without turning on the engine.
