My OH who is a long standing commercial driver will never use de icer. ::) he says it rots the windscreen rubber. Luke warm water at a push but he advocates starting the engine and let the car defrost itself. If you have a modern car with air con that needs to be on and the air blower on recirculate. TAkes 5-10 minutes but nothing will sway him to use de icer. Each to their own I suppose- Ps I do have a can of de icer :o but usually use the car's blower system.
Depends on where you live, neighbourhood wise, but I start my car ten mins before I'm ready to leave and go back in the house. If you have 2 sets of keys you could always lock the car door. I never use de-icer as it's just adding extra pollutants into the environment.
