The 'two-second' trick for de-icing your car windscreen

Let's face it, there's nothing worse than heading out to your car on a dark and freezing cold morning, desperate to get inside to crank the heating up, and being faced with thick ice on your windscreen preventing you from going anywhere. As you stand there furiously scraping the ice off each window while your hands get even colder, you'll no doubt be wishing there was a much easier solution.

Well, one TikTok user has shared a simple and easy way of preventing ice building up on your windscreen in the first place - and many people said they had never even thought of it, the Mirror reports. Tristan Walton took to the video-sharing social media platform to show off his "two-second" hack which saves him time in the morning and the trick has gone viral.

To stop ice from forming on his windscreen in the first place, Tristan simply covers the glass with a thin layer of cardboard. Showing how the trick works in his TikTok video, which has been liked more than 92,000 times, Tristan pulls off the cardboard from his snow and ice-covered windscreen, leaving a perfectly clear square underneath.
