Tips to Prevent your Car from Fogging Up this Winter
"When the warm air in the car reaches the cold glass, it causes condensation, which ends up causing fog on your car."
When the warm air in the car reaches the cold glass, it causes condensation, which ends up causing fog on your car. Moreover, a foggy windshield limits your visibility and makes it nearly impossible to drive safely.
Following are the ways to stop and prevent your car from fogging up this winter:
1. Warm-up Your Engine
The first and the foremost thing you need to do when you get inside your car is starting your engine. Make sure that you let your engine run for a bit once you get in the car so you can let some of the fog dissipate.
You need to do this before you push the defroster button.
2. Clean Windows
The other thing you need to do is to ensure that your windows are properly cleaned and have no residue left on them.
Moreover, during the winter, keeping clean windows is more important than ever because not only will the dirt make it easier for the fog to build upon your window, but it will also make the fog a dirty color, making it harder to look through the window with the fog build-up.
Similarly, when cleaning your windows in the winter, make sure that you completely dry off your windows before leaving the car.
3. Use Hot Air with Air Conditioning
When you get inside the car make sure you set your car’s heat to the maximum level as hot air holds more moisture than cold air, so cranking up the heat will help collect moisture that contributes to a foggy windshield. Then, turn off your car’s heater and activate the air conditioner.
This helps pull moisture from the air as it moves over the air conditioner’s cooling coils.
Alternatively, you can also switch on the hot air to warm the vehicle and the air conditioner at the same time.
The air conditioner will dehumidify the air. This will give you the best of both worlds. A warm car, with a dry, clear window to see through.
The other ways to prevent your car from fogging up are as follows:
- Remove any damp items from the car. Try not to leave any beverages or wet umbrellas in the car.
- Apply an anti-fogging coating. There are several anti-fogging sprays on the market that you apply after cleaning the interior of the windscreen.
- You can also use cat litter as the cat litter will help draw out moisture from the air.
