Do you want an ice-free windscreen fast? There’s a step you must take immediately & it’s NASA engineer approved

A NASA engineer has revealed a speedy way to get rid of an icy windscreen.

Drivers will be needing the tip as temperatures across the UK plummeted today and the Met Office issued a rare amber warning.

The forecaster said some areas could see an extra 15 to 20cm of snow and temperatures could reach lows of -14°C.

A woman from Eden Tyres and Servicing took to TikTok to share the crucial step you must take to have clean windows after hearing it from a NASA engineer.

The first and most crucial step is to make sure the heater is on full blast as missing this could slow down the whole process.

After this she then advises turning on the car's air conditioning to "help soak up the remainder of any moisture left inside."

Next the car circulation button must be turned off as when it's on it "traps the humidity inside."

The final step and the most bizarre is to open all the car windows a little - to allow the dry air outside to get into the vehicle.

Once she has completed all the steps the woman shows her clean windscreen and says: "Voila, a nice defrosted windscreen!"

The video demonstrating the helpful hack has racked up nearly 25,000 likes and has many comments from viewers both praising the the tip and offering their own advice.

One person wrote: "Good advice. Definitely the safest way. Stay in the car.

Locking the door.Never leave the vehicle unattended whilst the engine is running."

While another said: "I've been using the winter a/c method for a few weeks and my screen definitely clears quicker."

A third added: "Also put your sun visors down - traps more of the hot air against the screen."
