Homemade Mamas have some very helpful tips for winter on their website. Granted, we don't get TOO much snow in Texas, but a girl can hope, right?! You might want to keep these ideas handy just in case:
- Ice-proof your windows with vinegar. Who knew! When frost is on it's way, just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar and one part water. Spritz it on all your windows at night, and in the morning they'll be clear of icy mess! How's it work? Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water - preventing it from freezing on your windows.
- Squeak-proof your windshield wipers with rubbing alcohol. Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking & squeaking wipers change to near-perfect silence and clarity. Cool!
- Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray. Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors and rub it in with a paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber.
- De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer. Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key and the lock - problem solved!
- Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream. Spray shaving cream on the inside of your windshield and wipe it off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients used in commercial defoggers!
Thanks for the tips Homemade Mamas!
