Steamy windows? This simple method will solve your problem once and for all

Fogging car windows is a common problem, especially on cold and frosty days. Many people struggle with this phenomenon, not knowing how to effectively deal with it. It turns out that there is a simple way to get rid of this problem once and for all.

The main cause of windows fogging is the temperature difference between the vehicle interior and the surroundings. When the air humidity in the cabin is high, water vapor forms on the cold windows.

This often happens when you get into the car, especially if you get in with wet clothes or wet shoes. During the heating season, the situation is further complicated by the heating being on - the air becomes dry, but moisture can still condense on the cool windows.

One of the most effective ways to get rid of steam from windows is to wash them thoroughly from the inside . As indicated by the portal autoswiat.pl, impurities such as dust or grease settling on the glass promote moisture condensation.

To prevent this, it is worth reaching for a suitable glass cleaner, preferably one containing alcohol, which helps evaporate the remaining moisture. You can use paper towels or even old newspaper to wipe the windows - both solutions work perfectly.

In winter, when we bring a lot of moisture into the vehicle interior, additional measures are necessary. A simple trick can be helpful: just place layers of newspaper under the mats , in the trunk and on the back seat for 2-3 days.

Additionally, it is worth regularly heating the interior of the vehicle while driving and airing the car after each trip by opening the doors for a few minutes. Thanks to these steps, moisture evaporates faster, and the problem of steamy windows becomes less bothersome.

Although at first glance it may seem that air conditioning is mainly useful in the summer, its functions are also useful in the winter. Short but regular activation of the air conditioning while driving helps to effectively reduce the level of humidity in the cabin.

Unlike heating alone, air conditioning removes excess condensed water, making the air inside the vehicle drier. This in turn prevents condensation from forming on the windows.

If the problem of steamy windows is persistent, it is worth trying an unusual but effective solution, such as cat litter . This simple and cheap product can act as a home moisture absorber.

To use it, simply pour the litter into a canvas bag, cotton sock or small container with a perforated lid and place it in the car. It is best to place it in places where moisture collects most often - on the windshield, under the seats or in the trunk.

Silicone litter works particularly well because it has a high water absorption capacity. Depending on the humidity level in the cabin, it should be replaced every few days or weeks - when it starts to lose its absorption properties.
