Its now what we believe is scientifically referred to as really bloody cold.

Thus you may have gone out to your car this morning and spotted a load of ice and frost clogging up your windows.

You could try the sandwich bag hack or go at it with a special scraper, but if youre looking for another quick and easy way to clear ice from your windows, youre in luck.

A woman has shared a genius trick to clear car windows, using an old bottle of carpet stain remover.

You see, certain carpet stain removers have bottles with a special brush attachment to help you massage the cleaning product into fabric.

It turns out that brush attachment also works as a gentle ice scraper.

Angela Hickling shared her wisdom on Facebook, explaining that she filled an emptied out Dr Beckmann carpet cleaner bottle with warm water, then dragged the brush over her cars windows.

The warm water comes out through the brush and is spread evenly, quickly melting and wiping away ice. Smart, right?

Just make sure you usewarm water rather than boiling water straight out of the kettle, otherwise youre risking the glass cracking.

Obviously, this hack requires that you happen to have a carpet stain remover bottle with a brush attachment just lying around, otherwise youll need to shell out 2.80 for a bottle only to immediately empty it out.

FYI, you can just buy an actual ice scraper for the same price or cheaper. Or just spray your windows with warm water then use a cloth to wipe away.

Despite all those caveats, the trick has still been hailed online, with Angelas post being shared more than 17,000 times.

Do try it out yourself, or give the sandwich bag hack a go. Or, if you want all the imaginary bonus points, get in touch with us by emailing MetroLifestyleTeam@metro.co.uk to share your own cold weather hacks.
