De-ice your windshield with rubbing alcohol

No need to scrape ice off your windshield—just fill a spray bottle 1⁄ full with water and the rest with 3 70% isopropyl alcohol, says Ed Sprigler of windshield replacement company Strategic Initiatives at Safelite. “Spray your windshield, and the ice will melt! It also works on frozen locks: Spritz before inserting your key, and you’ll be on your way!”
