Thanks. FYI: I also made this solution, and applied it to my car windows the night before the freezer weather was to come, and the windows were clear of snow and ice. I was amazed. Therefore, I continued applying it each night, and got the same results...No ice or snow on windows when I went outside the next morning. It truly works people. Thanks again for sharing the video.
I live in an area that doesn't get much frost. My windshield was frozen over a few mornings ago and I remembered that I made your recipe a few years ago. Found the spray bottle in the garage and used it. The solution worked just like it did the last time I used it a couple of years ago. Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! I had to go to work and all door handles were frozen. This worked like a charm!!!❤❤❤
Just tried it and it works! Sending you a big one 💋
Awesome! You just saved me money! Thank you!
Great tip, thanks. Love your little garden house, would love it as my art studio

zrk reviews where do you get the alcohol from thx
I'm impressed! I'm going to try this. Thanks. And Merry Christmas.
Price of the alcohol has rocketed since Covid as it’s used in hand sanitizer it’s now like 20 25 pound for 5 litre unfortunately or I would of tried this
I'm in Texas lol I really need this right now
You’re not alone 😅
Same!
I'm in Louisiana and need it as well :)
Oh my I'm bustin up rn
That -12 & 70mph wind sucked earlier this year lol
Additional tip I would give is to not use a spay bottle as after some time you get tired of the small area and pressing the leaver. There are bottle that you can hand pump to build pressure. After that you can spray the whole windshield in one go.
I used a garden sprayer. 20oz of 70% alcohol and 10oz of water. Made spraying the windshield and window much easier.
So helpful...thankx homie
Next time, could you do a half-n-half to show the difference, scraping to show the depth of the ice and snow this is removing... Otherwise it just looks like either a miracle, or soft snow being pushed away, like jam on ceramic and a cloth with spray made to look like a miracle when it's not close. Also, can address the issues of "drying" wiper blades and messing with seals. lastly *I promise*... Maybe compare the cost of your concoction and retail de-icer. (One last thing, some people will worry about spraying a mixture which includes a highly flammable liquid next to their engine bay) ta, Dave
Thanks great idea. My doors were frozen tight, I’ll be trying it.
1:42 I totally didn't spill this all over my counter, let's just jump ahead shall we?
Excellent presentation 👌🏼👏🏻
Yo that was a sick idea man. Mashallah your great at these alhamdunillah
Nice video. Adding the water is a good idea to make the alcohol go farther. Thank you.
Thank you Sir, great information.
This works, I have used it for years as a defogger for scuba face mask. Adding2 drops dish detergent helps with surface tension.
Really??
@@carol2147 Yes
What do you mean by surface tension? Does it prevent glass from breaking
Surface tension ? What's that ? Why add 2 drops of dish detergent ?
I used to make it up and put it in my windscreen bottle it stopped the nozzle from freezing. But that’s when I worked for a paint firm I was able to get gallons of the stuff.
This is amazing
Gracias por tu video!!👍👍👍
Nice,thank you👍
Seems cool, but it'd be really nice to see some 2 inch thick ice or something get melted, I think that's what people are interested in.
yeah normally i will use a thick broom to wipe it away
Just get a military flame thrower,, clears the ice in a trice!!
@@MrChrissy1r or skip the water part of the solution and just light the alcohol work real fast
I just tried this EXACT SAME MIXTURE ON MY CAR THAT HAD .5 INCH OF ICE ON IT AND IT COMPLETELY SHATTERED MY ENTIRE FRONT WINDSHIELD DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!
@@camrenpoe3357 how? This generate no heat
Thank you brother 🙏
Thank you!
I’m gonna try this for my freezer
Thank you so much! I went out to my vehicle and it’s full of ice. The car handle was frozen. I sprayed this solution several times and within seconds I was able to open my car
literally just spraying snow, good job.
If you turn your 5ltr bottle backwards to pour it you will find it very smooth to pour instead of glug gluging
Das boot!
Backwards?
@@crazydrifter13 Pour with the handle at bottom, nozzle at the top. It should be easier to control the pouring with fewer airlocks to cause the glugs.
@@richardstewart6900 👍🏼👍🏼
I add a small amount of rubbing alcohol to my windshield washer fluid in winter only, and it works like a charm, however, alcohol can damage the rubber on wiper blades, so I limit the amount and only do this in the winter as needed.
Another tip: place socks over the wiper blades and make sure they are pulled away from the glass during icy and wintry weather. The alcohol spray is great for side and back windows.
What do you consider a (small) amount? Just wondering because we're about to get hit this weekend with a bad storm of snow and ice, and wanna give this a try ahead of time before it gets here. Thanks
@@denisepfahl3147 and I'll deff try the sock thing, pull my blades up and out and just place a pair of socks over them, haven't tried that before either so thanks
@@TimScottDT I recently bought windshield wiper sleeves they slide right over the blades and are made of some sort of waterproof material...the worked well! I put in about 1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol but you can experiment to see what works, you can also use a spray bottle of water and alcohol. and spray it on your windshield and its handy for the back window if there are no wipers there.
If you change your wiper blades after winter is over and into Spring anyway who cares about the alcohol effects on rubber wipers. just wipe off seals around the window with water or run your car through a car wash frequently.
@@denisepfahl3147 o ok thanks
Great video but you should add keep away from flames also 🧐
Where I lived years ago I used to have nosey neighbours so I would deliberately fill the kettle up with cold water and then go out and defrost the windows of the car and they thought I was putting red hot water on the windscreen lol
LMAO years ago my idiot boss called the office and wanted to know how deice her windshield because she didn't have a scrapper. The coworker that answerd with pour hot water on it .I tried to intervene but was waved off.
When she got to work she had a big crack across the windshield and didn't know why.
Me : Of course you do , you poured boiling water on it .😂😂😂😂
Alcohol freezes at much lower temperatures and you could use this method. In your wiper fluid bottle it's better than half and half wiper fluid that you buy in shop's this also freeze's where alcohol mixed with water will freeze at much lower temperatures -20. Do not spill any on engine may cause fires.
...or get into an accident.
This is sooo much cheaper that commercially available windshield spray... and, it works great!
Cover your windshield with a cotton painter's drop cloth at night close it in your doors to hold it in place, zero frost in the morning. I just use pure 91% iso alcohol in a spray bottle for the door. When you delude it with water it just causes more ice to form instantly.
Isn't there a risk of damaging the seals around the doors doing that with the drop cloth?
@@w1975b I haven't had any issues with it.
Ok to use on tinted windshields?
Simply use cold tap water!(never hot!!!!!)...cold water from the tap just needs to be 1° to melt any thickness of ice and works even better if you run heater in the car for 5 mins beforehand, I would never use a de-icer on my car..this can degrade the rubber on your sills and wiper blades! and the homemade stuff will defiantly effect the clear coat on your paintwork.
I have used cold water for years since my Grandad told me about it when I was 17
Doesn't alcohol damage the rubbers surounding the windows?
Thanks for sharing the method. May I know from where can I buy isopropyl alcohol in UK?
⭐⭐⭐⭐ good job!!!!
Tried it with greygoose works much better.
-5 to -11
Mate, we call that bbq weather here in Winnipeg
It doesn't attack paint?
A propane torch also works bloody well!😂
i'll laugh when I get time
Well if we are going to use flame why not a couple of tealights or votive candle? Granted it will take some time to warm up the inside of the car down on the floor.. but it will work given time..If you know ahead of time that you are going to go out just light the candle a couple of hours beforehand and then scrape off the ice if need be. UCO makes a lantern that will generate 5000 BTUs.. any simple candle application will accomplish the same effect
Can you use ethyl alcohol too?
I don’t have any of them would hand sanitiser and normal alcohol work with water
It looks like it works because the snow on that car is thin layer but can it work on thick dry ice tho.
Is. It safe for car paint , driveways , and wooden steps?
What about those 70% alcohol from the shelf? Serve the same purpose I assume?
Is it going to damage the paint
Wow I’d like to try this. Would rubbing alcohol harm the paint in any way?
if it goes on paint just wipe it off do not let to dry
You couldn’t find a larger spray bottle?
Does it damage paintwork?
For $3.25 Canadian Pesos you can buy a 4 liter jug of minus 45 deg C windshield washer fluid from Costco. I put some in a squirt bottle and at minus 20 C it de ices just fine
and on wet days it washes off the dirt just fine with a $1.25 shower squeegy from Dollarama
Thanks for sharing!
Do not get on your paint! Make sure you wax your car again in warm weather, this will eat clear coat from paint!
Does this eat the rubber seals over time?
The ice must be VERY thin. It will just sit on top of thick ice. If you use it on thick ice it will make the scraping job a bit easier.
Thats why people add dish detergents. doesn't have to be dawn. they all contain Subfractants which is what is needed. subfractants makes it easier for the solution to mixed into the ice.
Pour rain x on it mixed with crushed rock salt crushed to a fine powder works every time
Hope you're kidding...
can you use it the night before tp prevent it from icing over?
The IPA would probably evaporate by then.
Canadians in -11=beautiful day in winter ahaha
can i use whiskey or vodka i cant be arsed to by ipa alcohol whs going to go out of their whay to get a ipa alcohol when you got a celer full of wine and spirits??????
lol you can try and let us know, they do cost more than ipa alcohol
Vodka would work
Should I spray my windows in the night or in the morning when I take off ?
Both.
dude; rubbing alcohol will dry out and is used for disinfecting at the clinics; why to wash off if one touched it? XD
In high concentrations (70 - 90 percent) it dries out your skin so badly and so quickly it can crack and bleed, especially in the winter when the air is so dry. At least that's what happens to me!
That must be some strong rubbing alcohol
I think the big bottle is pure 100%
What % of IPA is best?
No vinegar?
So can you put this mixture straight into the cars windscreen water bucket under the hood? So you can spray straight on from inside the car? Safe?
The wipers start immediately, the ice may not melt in time before the wipers go over it, causing damage to the wipers.
yeah.. no ice its just snow so u just need to turn on ur wiper then it will go away...
do u have something for frozen windshield?
ruclips.net/video/0nwvrZY0iNI/видео.html
you spraying snow not ice ;D but this works ;)
Alcohol isn’t gonna harm you if you get it on you. You use that to clean cuts and other things
Rubbing alcohol actually increases the freezing point of water so the ice melts when comes in contact with the solution....
Then use salt water.
What about sleet that’s 2 inches thick and has fused into a solid sheet of ice?
I had this on my car and used the solution and was able to scrape it off after letting it set for 5 or so minutes. It softened it considerably but did not melt it.
Isopropyl alchohal or just regular rubbing?
iso alcohol
alcohol?any type?
Its 18 ° outside and the car windows are covered with a hard shell of ice. I tried the alcohol and water solution. It didn't do a thing.
Is it safe for car glass to use oftenly
yes
can i use moonshine ?
Does it affect the car paint ?
alcohol will strip car paint I believe. So yeah don't be spraying it on the paint and wipe it off.
This is an old trick that I use every year, But In the long run you have to buy the 1 Ltr / Gallon of IPA to do the job. Let me watch you de ice a car like mine this morning the ICE was thick and stuck to the glass all around my car. I bet this will only work like your demo on Freshly Dropped Snow Flurries!!
Why not use a waterproof car cover over your car if its outside? It may really save you from scraping and other issues. You just remove it after the storm and you have a nice clean car under that cover
For people who want to know it works best with a teaspoon of dawn, a tablespoon of rubbing alcohol and the rest warm to hot tap water. In a gallon jug, that will melt thick ice
I heard hot water would break the window because of sudden temperature change
@@Mark300win - I've never had that happen to me. I've probably done it every winter for the past 15 years.
@@cjzanders5430 it depends how cold it is. If it gets down to - 30 C
then the window will be cold, and I've read "it will" crack your window,
so I would not use hot water at all -- too risky and expensive.
@@grantp4022 -30 Celsius is -22 Fahrenheit. Where do you live? Outer space? Antarctica? Maine?
You don't need to wear protective gloves when handling rubbing alcohol. It's harmless to the skin (that's why it's called "rubbing alcohol). In fact I use it as a cheap aftershave and for disinfecting wounds.
Mike the Spike but not in big amount and high Concentration
Where do you buy your rubbing alcohol from?
Try cosmetic clinics
Can you use Ethanol instead of Isopropyl... or not a good idea?
isopropyl is the one to use
@@ZRKREVIEWS wow ... responding in 7 mins to 2y old video. Thank you!
Still gotta "CLEAR ALL WINDOWS" before driving
This makes that chore much faster and easier!
Good to know but why are you calling it a windscreen? Don't screens have holes in it, I'm from the US we call it a window. But thanks for sharing LOL also alcohol and water is not going to burn your skin. It's used for disinfecting skin before intravenous lines or taking blood needles are inserted into the human body. Just a little FYI
Windscreen is what the Brits call their windshields
Its minus minus 31 here in canada.
Do all that pouring over the sink!
I advice using Vodka that way you have something to drink while you wait ....
Does it work in wipers?
to clean wipers yes, but because its alcohol do not leave it to dry clean it off.
Can i just pour some spots dont got a.spray bottle
yes you can
ZKR bhai how much is 1/3 and 2/3 into ml ? cheers
for example if you have a bottle, 1 third of the bottle will be water, 2 thirds will be rubbing alcohol (third = maximum) ml = depends on your spray bottle, so basically the rubbing alcohol should be twice as greater than water.
🤦🏼♂️this comment can not be real.
I can’t find rubbing alcohol in the uk
Use vodka
Dude, that is not ice! Come to New England, we'll show you what ice stuck on a car really looks like! My whole car is encased in ice right now and I can't get the lift gate open and most of my door handles are frozen solid and not usable right now.
It's been tried and tested on Ice before the video and it does the job.
@@ZRKREVIEWS so why didn;t you do a video then. There's no ice on the windshield, you wasted a video.
@@heyoou yes but we live in England and that is the Sort of ice that we get
(What's portrayed in THIS video)
@@heyoou stfu beta simp
Windshield washer fluid active ingreident is methanol. For all of you idiots saying his idea will dry out your seals and cause leaks, you are absolutely wrong. It causes no more harm than washer fluid.
Where can you buy rubbing alcohol from.
Online, cosmetic clinics
@@ZRKREVIEWS thnx. I will have a look
What percentage is the rubbing alcohol? 70%, 90%?
the one that i got is ISOPROPANOL IPA Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% Pure 5 liter/5000ml
Does it affect the paint?
I think so!!!
Works on "snow", but NOT "ice". What's the point?
😶🌫️ I hate walking out the house seeing my windshield full of frost/ice!!! I be ready to cry.. 😭🤦🏾♀️
Can it it poured on the washer reservoir
Yes, you can pour rubbing alcohol in your windshield washer reserve tank. I do this, when winter weather rears it's ugly head. Once winter passes and spring sets in, just use regular windshield washer fluid, you'll be fine. Only use this for the front window of your car, while letting the car warm up and run. Once warmed up, then while driving your defroster will thaw out your side windows, etc.
why would you pour it on the reservoir when pouring inside works better?
