Still dealing with condensation on the windows?

We’ve noticed that when the car is parked, even outside in winter, no condensation forms. However, once we’re inside, the fog quickly fills the windows. The explanation is simple: when the vehicle is empty, the humidity is distributed evenly across the entire body. But once there’s a human body inside, it brings heat and humidity, which promotes the phenomenon.

Even just our breath promotes condensation. Indeed, with each exhale, we release water through our nostrils. It only takes a minute for the car to fill with humidity, and the windows are particularly affected. Why?

Well, it’s because they are in direct contact with the outside and tend to stay cold. The rest of the car warms up faster when in contact with a passenger. If you’ve noticed, the rear windows of some cars are sometimes heated. This helps the fog evaporate quickly.

The ideal, simple trick for the car

The trick that works to prevent condensation in the car uses silica crystals. To do this, we’ll opt for good-quality cat litter. This product is designed to prevent moisture retention in the bins.

Cat litter is a great absorbent. To keep it in the car, place a good amount inside an old pair of socks. You can place them on the dashboard and around the vehicle.
