Best method for defrosting the windshield of Toyota Corolla

The snow is starting to fall and the crisp, frigid winter air has arrived. I think that we can all agree that frosted windshields are a pain and having to go out to scrap the layer of ice off your windshield before heading to work in the morning can be the biggest pain of all. Here are some useful tips on 3 easy ways to defrost your windshield. Remember that it is important to take the time to properly clear off your vehicle before driving. Reduced visibility can be hazardous to yourself and other drivers on the road.
Cover Your Windshield-when leaving your vehicle, cover your windshield with a large piece of cardboard, a folded sheet or a towel. Remove the windshield cover when you are ready to leave and find that your windshield is free of ice and snow. There may be a thin layer or frost but the heater can quickly take care of that. There are magnetic windshield covers that are available to purchase online as well.

Ice Preventer or De-Icer Spray-ice preventer sprays can be sprayed on the windshield each night to create an ice-free windshield in the morning. De-icers are used to help clear your windshield when there is frost. You can purchase commercial ice preventer or de-icer sprays but you can also make homemade sprays as well. Fill a spray bottle with rubbing alcohol and add a few drops of dish soap, mix it well and then spray it directly on your icy windshield. A 3-to-1 white vinegar and water mixture will also work as well.
Remote start-remote start is a great feature to have in the winter and many new vehicles come with this feature now. Use the remote start while you are finishing up getting ready for your day and by the time you get to your vehicle it will be defrosted, warm and ready to go.
