Whether you’ve slept through your alarm, or just had a slow morning, I’m willing to bet this has happened on at least one occasion: you’re running late, but you step outside to find your windshield covered in ice. Instead of spending tons of time scraping all that ice away, speed things up with some good ol’ salt.

All you need to do is stir up some salt water (make sure it’s cool or cold so your window doesn’t explode) and wipe it onto the windshield. Let it sit, and the ice should start melting away.
