Woman reveals genius hack to dissolve windscreen ice instantly

One woman's genius hack to melt windscreen ice instantly on the cheap has gone viral.

She shared the savvy idea on Facebook, which has since been shared thousands of times.

All you need to do the hack for yourself is a bottle of Dr Beckmann Carpet Stain Remover, Manchester Evening News reports.

Posting a video and some photographs on Facebook, Angela Hickling wrote: "I'm a genius. Get yourself one of these bottles, fill it with warm water and you're sorted.

"No cold hands scraping anymore and it cleans your window screen too, the brush bit is ideal. Off to work now, have a great day people."

Speaking to Manchester Evening News, Angela revealed how she came up with the clever trick.

She said: "I was just looking through my boyfriend's cupboard to find some sort of gadget as I really didn't want my fingers freezing off, and saw the bottle. I had a light bulb moment.. filled it with warm water and it worked perfectly. I was so happy."

She added: "As you can see on the video it worked instantly, I didn't even need all the water in the bottle."

Just make sure you've emptied the bottle and thoroughly rinsed it before using it on your car.

Use warm - rather than boiling - water as the latter might crack your car windscreen.
