Introduction:
Frost-covered windows can be beautiful to look at, but they’re not always practical. If you’re tired of scraping away frost every morning or dealing with condensation, there's an easy trick that can help. Passed down from my mom, this simple yet effective method can keep your windows clear all winter long. No more scraping, no more cold drafts—just cozy warmth inside your home.
Ingredients:
1 cup of rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon of dish soap
A clean spray bottle
A microfiber cloth
Optional: Essential oils (for fragrance)
Instructions:
Mix the Solution: In the spray bottle, combine 1 cup of rubbing alcohol, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 teaspoon of dish soap. If you like, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant scent.
Shake the Bottle: Secure the cap and shake well to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Spray on the Windows: Generously spray the solution onto the inside of your windows, focusing on the areas where frost tends to form.
Wipe Down: Using a microfiber cloth, wipe the window down to remove any excess solution. This also helps spread the solution evenly across the glass.
Let Dry: Allow the windows to dry completely. The alcohol will evaporate quickly, leaving a thin protective layer that prevents frost from forming.
Tips to Serve and Keep:
Preventative Measures: Apply the solution before the first frost of the season, ideally when you know temperatures will dip low. This proactive approach ensures you’re always ahead of the frost.
Reapply When Needed: Depending on how cold your region gets, you may need to reapply the solution every few weeks, especially if your windows are exposed to significant temperature changes.
Keep the Spray Bottle Handy: For areas that are more prone to frost (like bathroom windows or basements), keep a spray bottle of the solution nearby and apply it as needed.
