Living in an apartment, you have a lot of conveniences available to you!
During the winter, some people have to shovel out their sidewalks and driveways; but you don't! You save a lot of time and energy by being able to get to your car with ease.
If your apartment community has an outdoor parking lot, however; you might want to remember some green tips to cleaning and scraping the ice from your car:
- Natural Ways To Prevent Frost
It is easy to prevent ice from forming on your car windows without harmful chemicals. If you know a snow storm is coming through your area, try to prevent ice and frost on your car by rubbing it with a salt-water soaked sponge or soft cloth. The, gently pat your car dry. A vinegar mixture with water will also prevent frost from forming.
- Removing Ice The Green Way
Rock salt is one of the worst products you can use if you care about the environment. The sodium chloride mixture seeps into the ground and creates harmful run-off. Use
sand instead, as it is much more natural.
Do you turn on your car and let it sit in order to warm it up? This not only reduces fuel but also produces harmful gasses that are released into the air. The best way to heat up your car is to
drive it.
