Why this trick works
This trick works because plastic bags act as a barrier between mirrors and cold, humid air. By preventing direct contact with air, it effectively stops ice formation. The plastic material is also non-porous, which ensures that moisture does not enter the mirrors.
Additional benefits of using this tip
In addition to protecting your mirrors from frost, this trick also protects them from other factors such as dust and dirt. It can also save money on de-icing products and reduce mirror wear caused by frequent scraping.
Common errors to be avoided
A common mistake is not to fix the bags sufficiently, which may cause moisture to penetrate. Make sure the bags are properly fitted and attached with elastics or zippers. Another mistake is to use bags that are too small or holes, which can be detrimental to their effectiveness.
