Clever car hacks for winter

These smart tips will have you wondering why you ever
hated winter driving in the first place.
1. Park facing east. Remember that the sun rises in the east,
so facing your car this way will let Mother Nature help you
defrost it, saving you time and effort.
2. Makeshift wiper blade covers. Hate having to unstick
your wipers from a frozen windshield? Cover them with
old socks before turning in for the night — they’re the
perfect size and shape to protect them from snow and ice.
3. Rethink common household items. Use cooking oil spray
to lightly cover the rubber edges of your doors to keep them
from freezing shut. Plastic bags are a great way to protect
your mirrors, and a dab of hand sanitizer on your key or
keyhole will melt ice.
4. Fight corrosion from de-icing chemicals. Roads are
being treated with increasingly harsh de-icing chemicals
that damage the exterior and eventually compromise the
structural integrity of your car. Rust protection from Krown
is able to withstand high humidity, constant exposure to
corrosive road salt, and abrasion from road dirt and debris.
It’s also self-healing and is constantly creeping, remaining
active to continuously repel moisture and keep it away
from the metal surface.
5. Thrive if stranded. Use kitty litter or floor mats to create
traction for your tires if you get stuck. Keep a spare pair
of socks in your glove compartment to put on over your
fancy shoes for better grip if you need to walk in the snow.
6. Increase visibility. Use toothpaste to clean your headlights
and stand out in a storm.
7. Have fun de-fogging. Spray some shaving cream on the
inside of your windows and wipe clean to prevent fog – it
has some of the same ingredients as commercial defoggers.

Afraid of losing your
luggage while traveling?
Take pictures of it before you
travel. If your luggage does go
missing, this will help provide a
record of what it looked like on
the outside and the contents inside.
This will come in handy when an
airline staff member is helping
you find it, or if you need to file a
complaint or insurance claim.
