With the mercury dropping, people will soon be grappling with the annoying task of defrosting their cars each morning. Drivers are sharing their hacks, including rubbing a vegetable on car windows to stop them fogging up.<\/p>\n
Others are suggesting simple DIY de-icing solutions using vinegar. But a woman has shared a clever trick on TikTok that could let you hit the snooze button a few more times.<\/p>\n
Under the username @kirstennp_, she revealed her simple hack: laying a large bath towel across her windscreen overnight.<\/p>\n
As temperatures fall, the towel freezes instead of the windscreen, saving precious time in the morning. She said: “When you put a towel on your windscreen to stop it freezing overnight. It’s frozen itself.”<\/p>\n
This means no more scraping ice off your car or wrestling with a bottle of anti-freeze in the cold.<\/p>\n

The video has been a hit, with over 252,000 likes and nearly 2,000 comments. One person said: “I didn’t think this worked. Would have saved me 20 minutes defrosting mine this morning.”<\/p>\n
Another added: “This is genius.” A third wrote: “Buuuuuuuut… it worked, job well done I’d say!”<\/p>\n
To keep the towel from flying off, some folks suggested tucking each end into the car doors.<\/p>\n
One viewer even mentioned how fortunate she was that the towel didn’t freeze onto the windscreen, as they had experienced before.<\/p>\n
