Winter is fast approaching. The cold and damp are making their presence felt. Drivers are already complaining about foggy windows in their cars. For many, it's a real nightmare that takes away any joy of traveling. We have several foolproof solutions for this! They are incredibly simple. Using them will make the problem disappear in the blink of an eye.

This often keeps drivers awake. Even the experienced ones! It often effectively prevents them from driving safely. We're talking about fogging up (in the autumn and winter) car windows.

It's easy to guess that low temperatures and humidity in the air perfectly promote the formation of steam on the aforementioned glass parts of vehicles. The "autokult.pl" portal now suggests how to effectively combat this. It provides several reliable solutions.

Windows fogging up in your car? Take advantage of these tips!

We need to properly address the problem and eliminate not only its effects but also the cause! A sponge or cloth for windows will not do much here.

The battle with fogged-up windows should start with cleaning the interior and washing the vehicle windows. Sand and dust lingering in the cabin absorbs moisture, which is released in the form of steam - we read on "autokult.pl".

It is also recommended to use air conditioning. Yes - even in winter! As the portal reports, not everyone is aware that its role is "not only to cool the interior, but also to dehumidify it." Turning on the air conditioning will quickly allow the windows to defog.

This is not the end. "Simple home remedies, such as cat litter, bags of rice, or newspaper, can prove to be a life-saver. All these materials have a high ability to absorb moisture" - reports "autokult.pl".

You just need to place them under the mat in your vehicle. It's important to change them regularly. Otherwise, when soaked, they will have the exact opposite effect of what was planned.
