As the weather gets colder, de-icing your car becomes a daily struggle.
One of the last things you want to do in the morning is scrape ice off your car.
But one woman has shared how she uses a bottle of carpet stain remover with warm water to wash away the ice.
Angela Hickling, who lives in Stapleford, uploaded a video showing her using the container, which comes with a brush, to clear her windscreen.
The product only costs £2.80 and can be used multiple times, saving drivers from getting cold hands in the morning.
She 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."
The post quickly went viral, with over 3,400 people sharing it on the social media platform.
"You are a genius," responded one Facebook user.
Another said: "Nope, I would have never thought that! Honestly gonna buy one just for that reason."
"That's amazing. I need some more of that so I will save the bottle after lol," wrote somebody else.
Angela spoke to the Manchester Evening News revealed how she had come up with the savvy idea.
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."
To replicate the hack, you'll just need to buy yourself a bottle of Dr Beckmann Carpet Stain Remover.
The cheapest one we can find is currently £2.80 from Wilko - though once you've bought it you'll be able to use it time and time again.
Make sure you've emptied it and thoroughly rinsed it before using it on your car.
Then you'll just need to fill it with warm water and watch the ice melt away. Don't use boiling water as it might crack your car windscreen.
