Drivers have been encouraged to rub leftover pumpkin on their car windscreens this autumn and winter in a \u201cgame-changing\u201d ice tip.<\/p>\n

The pumpkin should be rubbed over the windscreen the night before a big freeze to reduce the impact in the morning.<\/p>\n

According to the experts, the Halloween decoration contains a lot of starch which can \u201cact as a barrier between the ice and glass screen.<\/p>\n

It is also a natural \u201cice-melting agent\u201d which will help motorists to clear their windscreens quicker than usual.<\/p>\n

Pumpkins can be purchased from supermarkets for as little as \u00a31 in the run-up to Halloween on October, 31.<\/p>\n

Experts at Motor Match said: \u201cWhen it comes to defrosting your windscreen during the chilly winter months, you might be surprised to find a natural solution right on your window sill. Leftover Halloween pumpkin can be a game-changer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe secret lies in the starch content found in pumpkins. Make sure to chop up the skin and rub the inner layer on your windscreen for fast defrosting.<\/p>\n

\u201cStarch acts as a barrier between the ice and the glass, preventing it from refreezing quickly. This means you can spend less time in the cold, scraping away at your windscreen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe starch, in vegetables like pumpkin and potato, is a natural ice-melting agent. When applied to your frost-covered windscreen, it can help break down the frost, and make scraping it off much easier.\u201d<\/p>\n
