As you struggle to defrost heavily frozen car windows in the morning, it would be worth noting the genius tip in the video below. 

Despite numerous warnings, many people still resort to boiling a kettle in the morning. However, boiling water can crack your windscreen if the water is too hot when poured onto frozen windscreens. 

Instant defrsot spray can also defrost your windows but as it is so cold in Ireland at the moment, the windows don't always clear as much as you would expect or can actually refreeze if you don't apply enough spray. 

A humble ziplock bag could be the answer to all your problems. 

Simply by filling one with warm water, you can defrost you car easily. 

It also means you are not creating ice in your driveway, or on the footpath by pouring warm water on your car, which ends up freezing afterwards on the ground.
