homemade de-icer for car doors
Nothing would budge my frozen driver's door yesterday. The lock was frozen and so, I suspected, was more inside the door. I tried lock de-icer at $2 a bottle and nothing. I decided to try Pinterest and found this recipe:
-spray bottle
-40% volume of water
-a couple of drops dish soap
-60% volume of rubbing alcohol
I mixed it up and went outside to spray. I did back and forth twice at the base of the window where the rubber meets. I put the key partly into the lock and sprayed a couple of shots of mixture in. Approx 5 min later the door defrosted and unlocked. Cheap and cheerful and worked just fine. Only drawback my car interior still smells like rubbing alcohol but that will wear off.
