The best thing about this spray? You most likely have everything you need to make it on hand already! It only takes 3 things: a spray bottle, water, and vinegar. Put a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar into your bottle and shake!
When you find your car covered in ice, just spray a layer of your miracle mixture on the windows and let sit for a minute. I use a squeegee to clean my windows after spraying; but you could use a cloth, or simply roll down the windows and run the windshield wipers.
This magical ice remover is great as a stocking stuffer or neighbor gift! And don’t forget you can keep a small spritzer bottle in the car to help when you’re out and about on those brisk days.

Magical is definitely the right word! I’d no idea that water and vinegar could melt ice. Thanks for sharing this!
No problem – I hope it saves you a lot of time and trouble this season!
I have never heard of this, but SO good to know!! I’m always sitting in the car waiting for the ice to melt!
It’s the worst isn’t it?!
Living in MN this tip is great, thank you for sharing! I just bought a gallon of vinegar so this will be project #2 on my vinegar concoctions list!
I love vinegar … use it for everything!
What a great idea! Thanks for linking it up at our Found & Foraged Linky party! Hope to see you next week.
Well, this one will be a good one to remember! thank you!
I have heard this may cause pitting in the glass, as well as the paint. Have you seen any evidence of this?
I haven’t at all; some of the research I did suggested that as long as you don’t leave vinegar on for long periods it shouldn’t do harm.
If I keep a bottle in my car will it freeze?
It depends on how cold it is where you are. Vinegar requires a colder temperature to freeze, but it will freeze. I have also heard you can add alcohol to lower the freezing point even more, but I haven’t tried it yet. I’m planning on testing it out during our upcoming cold burst.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
