Quick Tips: Transform Your Car for Winter using Dollar Tree Items
In the chill of winter, driving can become a challenging task. However, TikTok creators Home With Christina and Melissa Houser have shared a series of affordable hacks to make winter driving less stressful and safer. These hacks, using supplies from Dollar Tree, are simple yet effective solutions to common winter driving issues.
Firstly, using moisture eliminators can help keep a car dry during winter. By absorbing excess moisture, they can prevent the formation of frost and ice inside the vehicle.
Another hack involves the use of non-stick cooking spray. Applying it to the rubber seals of car doors can prevent them from freezing shut, making them easier to open. Additionally, a light coating of cooking spray on car doors can prevent ice from forming, making them more accessible. Just remember to wipe away excess cooking spray after application to prevent messiness.
A third hack is a practical one for emergencies. A tin filled with cardboard can act as a makeshift heater. In case of a breakdown or other unexpected winter situations, this simple contraption can provide some warmth.
TikTok creator Melissa Houser (@mhouser12) also suggests using a lightweight tarp or plastic sheet to cover a windshield overnight. This can help prevent ice buildup, making your morning commute smoother. Similarly, another hack involves using zip-top plastic bags to cover side mirrors before bed. This can help keep them clear in the morning, ensuring a clear view of the road.
A bag of cat litter can provide traction if the car tires get stuck in snow. This can be a lifesaver in slippery conditions.
Lastly, shaving cream can be used to prevent fogged windows. A thin film applied on the inside of windows and wiped off with a microfiber cloth can help keep your windows clear and visibility high.
These hacks, along with those previously mentioned, are not only budget-friendly but also practical solutions to common winter driving issues. They are the brainchild of Bonnie Ferrero, an author with interests in hiking, cooking, gardening, home decorating, and community involvement.

By incorporating these hacks into your winter driving routine, you can ensure a safer and more enjoyable journey this winter season.
