Defog hack created by ICE HOCKEY players to keep visors clear works on windscreens & you already own the ingredient
A CHEAP defog hack that was originally invented by ice hockey players to keep their visors clear can also be used on your car’s windscreen.
Better yet, there’s a strong chance you already own the only ingredient needed somewhere inside your home.
Temperatures across the UK are continuing to drop as we head towards winter, and many drivers are starting to experience irritating foggy windows.
This is often caused by moisture getting trapped inside the car as the cold weather draws in, and it can be a nuisance on your morning commute – but also quite dangerous.
After all, drivers need to be able to see clearly out of their windows – especially the windscreen – and condensation can often block the view of the road.
What’s more, drivers can be pulled over for driving with an obstructed view and run the risk of picking up a penalty fine of up to £2,500, as well as three licence points.
One method to combat misty windows is to use a tried and tested hack created by ice hockey players.
To keep their visors clear when they’re playing, they would often use shaving foam to clean the see-though polycarbonate – although this can also work on your windscreen.
According to the RAC, the protective barrier this creates won’t last forever and will need to be repeated regularly, but a windscreen cleaned with shaving foam will be less likely to mist up.
To do this, car owners need to simply take a clean towel and place a small amount of shaving foam onto it.
Then, wipe the windscreen with the towel and spread the shaving foam evenly over the surface of the glass.
Then wipe off the shaving foam completely using another clean towel.
