A simple trick to keep your car's rear-view mirrors safe from frost

Winter mornings can be troublesome, especially when you are in a hurry and your car’s rear-view mirrors are covered with frost. My aunt, a driver experienced in the cold climate of the north, has a simple trick that swears only by keeping your car's rearview mirrors safe from frost without almost any effort. Not only is this method effective, but it is also incredibly easy to apply, which saves you time and effort on cold mornings.

Understanding the problem of frosted mirrors in the car

Filled mirrors in the car are a common problem during the winter months. When the temperature drops, the humidity of the air freezes on the surfaces, including the rear-view mirrors of the car. This can chord visibility and make driving dangerous until the frost disappears. Traditional methods of frost removal, such as scraping or the use of deicing sprays, can take time and be impractical.

A simple trick that my aunt uses

The trick that my aunt uses involves a common item: a plastic bag. By covering your car mirrors with plastic bags at night, you avoid ice forming on your rearview mirrors. This method is quick, easy and requires almost no effort, which makes it ideal for busy mornings.

Equipment required to perform the lathe

To use this trick, you will need two plastic bags, preferably those you can buy at the grocery store, and two elastics or zippered fasteners to secure them. These materials are inexpensive and you probably already have them at home.

Step-by-step guide on how to apply the trick

Before going to bed, take two plastic bags and put one on each car mirror.
Attach the bags by wrapping an elastic or zippered fastener around the base of each mirror.
In the morning, all you have to do is take your bags and mirrors will be protected from frost.
Store the zipped bags and fasteners in your car for easy reuse.
