I know you folkes are probably good to go
But I would like you to think about one thing for a bit.
If you take the sponge off a squeeze sponge mop it becomes a useful good ice scraper.

Haha, there have been times I couldn't find any ice scrapper in the the Mrs's or my car. When some how I always find them in the summer but can't ever find them when I am in a rush to get to work in the winter. Anyway, I have used CD Cases, my knife, and a dust pan in the past.

Oh boy, frost and ice on the windshield and no scraper.....have used the open end of a plastic bottle cap.

Yes, but is it spongeworthy ?

Run down your case for me again...

Sounds like a good way to destroy a windshield.
My brother lived in Columbus, OH for six years. He said the best thing to keep ice from forming on your windshield is a piece of cardboard on the window, held down by the windshield wipers. Take it off and throw it in the trunk in the morning. You'll be good to go.

That only works if the wipers don't freeze to the cardboard. Then you are simply screwn. Trust.

Turn 'em around. Duh.

I just might try that.

I have two scrapers, an extra bottle of ice washer, and a blanket in the car at all times!! I am such an New Englandah!! :-)

Not all wipers can pivot, though. The ones on my station wagon don't. Everything else I own does, though.

I keep the car in the garage at night!

I keep my car in Southern Texas at night....HAH!

Exactly.

Same here. I was stumped by all this ice scraper talk. Why does one scrape ice? To get shaved ice for…. drinks? Then further down I read they're for windshields. :shrug:

Last winter the kid took mine to college and I was out scraping ice with a spatula.

True story.
We Hoosiers got, about a week ago, an 8th of an inch of ice that was then covered by about 4 or 5 inches of snow. No real bigs, my black truck is fairly good at digging itself out.
But I couldn't wait for that, and, as it turned out I didn't have an automobile ice scrapper that was authorized for use on a truck equipped with a factory 4 inch lift.
So what I did was to grab my sponge mop and remove the sponge, it made a pretty good scrapper.
-
Why scrape ice? Spray it with de-icer spray and let the car idle with the defroster on high for about a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.

I've used my fingernails before.
Obviously, on frost that wasn't thick ice, though.

:rofl:
I've used a plastic card from my wallet. Fortunately we don't get much ice... it's usually just frost.

Ah yes, the flexible friend. I've found the ones without rfid chips in them work best. The rfid chipped ones are just a little too rigid for my liking.

I might try the sponge mop idea. My truck's windshield is a bit out of reach for me. I keep a broom under the back seat to remove snow.
On the PT Cruiser, the plastic store rewards cards are my favorite. Wouldn't their marketing teams be happy to know that!
