A motoring expert has taken to YouTube to share an easy tip which can help to clear the ice from vehicle windscreens in seconds this winter.<\/p>\n

And it’s all thanks to adding a common household material.<\/p>\n

The YouTuber @wonderhacksandfacts often posts short videos on a variety of topics, sometimes covering advice that can help motorists stay safe during winter.<\/p>\n

In one video, @wonderhacksandfacts advises motorists to sprinkle a common substance over their vehicles windows to deice them in seconds.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cPicture this, winter\u2019s here and your windshield is a sheet of ice. What do you do? Simple, keep a small container of salt in your car.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy, you ask? Salt lowers the freezing point of water, making it an effective ice remover. Sprinkle a little on your windshield and watch as the ice begins to melt away. A few swipes with your scraper and you\u2019re good.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, @wonderhacksandfacts sprinkles a small amount of salt over the icy windscreen of a car.<\/p>\n

As salt has a low freezing point and dissolves quickly when mixed with water, it can quickly melt the ice stuck to the screen.<\/p>\n

Whilst the video recommends motorists keep a small tub of salt in their vehicle, motorists can also mix a solution of salt and water in a spray bottle that can quickly be applied.<\/p>\n

However, @wonderhacksandfacts warned motorists that they do not need to use a lot of salt to clear their icy windscreen.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cRemember, you don\u2019t need a lot, just enough to get the job done. So next time throws you a frosty curveball, you\u2019ll be ready with your trusty container of salt.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s your quick tip for challenging winter\u2019s icy grip. Stay safe and keep warm friends!\u201d<\/p>\n
