Have you enjoyed doodling on your misty car windows as a child? Those were the days. Now, as an adult, you dread having to deal with foggy windows and windshields - especially when you're running late for work. Rising temperatures, increased humidity, and your car's AC doing its job can all contribute to foggy windows.
However, there are methods to work around this difficulty that we'll show you how to do!
1. Kitty Litter Hack:
Ready to make your version of a homemade anti-fog solution? This one's easy and only requires two ingredients you probably already have at home - kitty litter and a sock. Place a scoop or two of kitty litter (unused, of course) into an old sock, tie it off, and put it under your front seat. The kitty litter will absorb moisture and help keep your windows clear.
2. Hairdryer Method:
If you're in a bind and need to defog your car windows fast, grab your hairdryer and get started. Turn your hair dryer on the lowest heat setting and direct it to the foggy areas of your windows.
The hot air will help dissipate the moisture and clear up your windows in no time. However, you must exercise caution when utilizing this approach, as you don't want to shatter your windshield with the hot air.
3. Baking Soda Rescue:
Baking soda is not just for baking or cleaning. You can also use it to keep your car windows from fogging up. It has absorbent properties that make it ideal for soaking up moisture.
Fill a small container of baking soda and place it in your car (without the lid). When your car's air conditioning is fighting against the humidity, the baking soda will help absorb the moisture in the air and keep your windows clear.
4. Shaving Foam Finesse:
You can also use your miraculous shaving foam to prevent your windows from steaming up. Shaving cream/foam creates a thin protective barrier on your windows that doesn't allow moisture to condense.
Apply a layer of shaving foam to the inside of your windshield before you start driving, and voila! You'll have a clear view all day long. Re-apply this hack every few days, but it's worth it to avoid that frustrating fog.
5. Keep Your Windows Clean:
Not every car owner manages to keep their windows clean, but it's essential to do so if you want to prevent fogging. A dirty windshield is more likely to fog up than a clean one because the dirt and grime provide a place for water droplets to condense.
You can avoid this problem by keeping your windows clean, inside and out. Use a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth to wipe down your windshield before you start driving.
