🚗🌨️ Winter Woes? A Handy Hack To The Rescue! 🌨️🚗


As the UK braces for an Arctic blast, chilly mornings mean icy cars are on the cards! 🥶 For those of us still needing to hit the road, unfreezing car doors can be a real struggle—especially if you’ve run out of de-icer!

One motoring expert has shared an ingenious tip that just might save the day, and it’s conveniently likely to be in your pocket. The secret? Hand sanitiser! 💧👐 With its alcohol content, it can help thaw out those stubborn frozen locks.
Ben Welham, a motor whiz from Cinch, claims, “This hack works surprisingly well. The alcohol content of hand sanitiser does the job nicely, so it’s a brilliant backup if you run out of de-icer on a cold day.”
While you’re tackling that frozen car door, don’t forget your windscreen! Many cars have a “magic” defrost button that can make clearing ice a breeze. Definitely worth checking out while we ride out this cold snap! ❄️
As temperatures continue to plummet, Met Office has issued an amber warning for snow and ice, with forecaster Neil Armstrong advising, “Very cold weather will continue through the weekend with temperatures struggling to rise above freezing. Stay updated with the latest weather warnings.”
With severe cold weather sticking around, it’s crucial to prepare before hitting the road. Pack your in-car essentials — an in-car phone charger, some warm gear, and now, hand sanitiser!
Stay safe out there, keep warm, and embrace this winter wonderland! ☃️✨
