The 22-year-old posted a clip showing the easy trick and how well it works.

She simply puts an old bed sheet over her car windows – and in the morning no ice has formed.

Lydia captioned the video: “Ice hack I’ve used for years”.

It comes as many drivers are just now learning of another handy product that can quickly defrost a car’s windscreen.

MORE ON ICE

All it takes is a spray bottle, some water, and an everyday product that only costs a couple of quid.

Motoring experts at Rooster Car Insurance suggested using a solution of 90 per cent rubbing alcohol and water mixed together in a spray bottle.

Rooster said: “If you spray this solution onto your windscreen in the morning, it’ll get rid of the ice.”

They also suggested using a small sealable bag filled with warm water – not boiling – to rub on a car’s frozen windscreen.

This will help melt a thin layer of ice or snow that’s resting on top of the glass.

But Rooster said the “best thing to do” is to simply wake up on time and use the car’s heater to warm up inside and melt any ice or snow naturally.
