A man's simple trick for preventing a car windscreen from icing over using a tea towel has gone viral on TikTok.
A man has gone viral with his unconventional tip for preventing your car windscreen from icing over. In the depths of winter, motorists often struggle with the morning ritual of defrosting their cars, but this TikTok user has come out with a straightforward solution. Posting under username @HerbieLad49, he posted footage where he places an oversized tea towel over his car's windscreen before the temperature drops.
He later shows viewers how he easily removes the now-frozen towel, revealing a pristine and ice-free windscreen. His accompanying caption to the TikTok video summarises his crafty car trick: 'Well, the windshield didn't freeze. #ice #carhacks #dontforgetobringatowel.' The clip has quickly gained 29.4 million views, with 2.5 million likes and thousands of comments. One commenter praised the simple yet effective method, stating: 'Mega underrated life hack. I do this every night, no faffing about in the morning, just towel off and go.' Meanwhile, another likened it to a beauty treatment for vehicles: 'It's like a pore strip for the car.' Another person confirmed its effectiveness by saying: 'It did work tho, just made a frozen towel in the process' and another shared: 'I've been doing this for 10 years. It legit works. You can slightly dampen the towel for friction in the beginning so it doesn't move or blow off.' Another user remarked: 'Now you have a clear windshield and a new best friend.' An additional comment read: 'That worked way better than I thought it would honestly.' The sight of the frozen towel led many to draw comparisons with the South Park character Towelie, a blue talking towel with white stripes. Among the comments, one user asked: 'Is that Towelie?' while more chimed in with: 'It's Towelie
