How to get rid of condensation on car windows

The main cause of window fogging is high humidity and temperature changes. Nevertheless, the Mirror has a simple but effective life hack that will help you quickly solve the problem.

Why do windows fog up?

The most obvious reason is weather conditions. If it's damp outside, moisture evaporates, for example, from clothes, forming condensation. Of course, the main problem is the temperature difference between in the car and outdoors.

However, experts emphasize that the causes of fogging can be purely "technical". It's worth checking the rubber seals - water can penetrate the interior and settle on the glass as vapor if they are not tight.

Malfunctions with the ventilation holes or cabin filter lead to insufficient air circulation and, as a result, increased humidity. Drivers are also advised to check the heater and climate system.

Life hack against fogging

One TikTok user posted a video in which he shared a simple life hack that will save time and help you quickly get rid of condensation.

• Step 1. Turn on the "defroster" - this function is usually depicted as a window with three arrows pointing at it.
• Step 2. Next, you should activate the heating system in the car, and you need to do this before turning on the air conditioner. This will create conditions for drying the interior and removing excess moisture.
• Step 3. Turn off the air recirculation - this function prevents the air from the outside from entering the cabin.

How to prevent fogging

It is important to follow a few rules to prevent the risk of fogging in the cabin.

• First of all, keep the windows clean inside and out.
• Check and clean the drainage holes under the hood regularly.
• Clean climate control and air conditioning vents thoroughly.
• Check and change the cabin filter regularly.
