I only started driving at the end of 2011 and managed to avoid having to defrost the car that winter as I never had to go out early in the morning and by time I did have to go out the frost would have disappeared. This winter, however, was a different story as my daughter now goes to nursery. Thankfully, it hasn't been too bad so I haven't had to defrost the car as much as I imagined but still needed something to give me a helping hand in the morning. When doing my shopping in Tesco I spotted their own brand de-icer on offer, buy one get one free, thinking this was quite a good deal I bought two 500ml bottles for £2.50. Of course, being a Tesco product it is ...  Read the complete review

Having already reviewed the aerosol style de-icer I have been using this winter, I am following up with a review of Tesco's own label de-icer, which comes in a trigger spray bottle rather than being a continuous aerosol. The de-icer is designed to remove ice from windscreens on those cold frosty mornings, and the idea is that they are quicker and more convenient than putting the elbow grease in and scraping the ice off with a scraper. My mum gave me this one when I got caught short by the ice one night when I went to visit her, so I'm unsure how much she paid but they are currently on the Tesco website costing £2.50. I don't usually talk about packaging too ...  Read the complete review

Using a de-icer in April is pure madness, and I thought that we'd seen the last of the ice and snow until the beginning of the Easter holidays brought along another cold blast. We had run out of our usual de-icer from Halfords and I bought this one from Tesco's myself when I was doing my weekly shopping. It's in a trigger spray plastic bottle and looks alike a lot of my cleaning fluids do, if I'm honest. I think I paid about £2.50 for this bottle at the time and sadly there was no special offer on at the time. In fact, as I remember, there weren't too many bottles left on the shelf when I bought this so everyone must have been stocking up. We had used Tesco's own ...  Read the complete review

A couple of months ago when doing my weekly shop at Tesco I noticed all manner of things for cold weather were strategically placed at the entrance to the store - before you even get properly inside. Taking this as a sign that a cold snap could be on the way I had a browse through to determine what I required. I resisted the snow ploughs but opted for a couple of bottles of this de-icer. The previous winter I had been caught out by a cold snap and my de-icer had been frozen in the car as I couldn't even open the doors. Determined to not suffer the same fate again, I bought the two bottles at £2.50 each. The bottle contains 500ml. The bottle itself is a ...  Read the complete review
