Turn up the heat:
An effective way to get rid of a foggy windshield is to turn up the heat in your car.
This will help speed up the defogging process, making the moisture on the windshield evaporate more quickly.
If you’re wondering how it works, it’s all thanks to the laws of thermodynamics.
Use your car’s air conditioning:
Additionally, you can also use your air conditioner to defog your windshield.
The cooler air temperature will cause moisture on the windshield to condense, making cleaning easier.
Turn the air conditioning to the lowest setting and point the air vents toward the windshield.
Break your windows:
Another way to help eliminate fogging from your windshield is to break the windows, even if just a little.
This allows fresh air to circulate in the car and helps eliminate moisture from the air. Even though it’s the old fashioned way, it always works.
When breaking windows, make sure you don’t leave them open for too long, otherwise you’ll start to feel cold!
Clean the windshield with vinegar:
If you don’t have any defogging solution, you can also use vinegar to help you. You will need a clean cloth and some white vinegar.
Wipe the windshield with a cloth dipped in vinegar and the fog will begin to disappear.
You can also mix vinegar and water to create a diluted solution.
Always use a lint-free cloth when cleaning your windshieldso you don’t get any streaks.
Use a hairdryer:
Grab a hairdryer if you’re in a pinch and need to defog your windshield quickly.
Turn it on to the “warm” setting and point it at the foggy areas of the windshield.
The warm air will help evaporate moisture and dissipate fog.
Just be careful not to hold the dryer in one place for too long, as you don’t want to crack or damage your windshield.
Use an anti-fog solution:
There are many different types of anti-fog solutions you can purchase. They are available online or at a local auto parts store.
These solutions usually come in a spray bottle. You should spray it on the windshield and then wipe it off with a clean cloth.
The solution is made from several chemicals that help prevent moisture from condensing on the windshield.
Sodium bicarbonate:
Baking soda is a natural dehumidifier. This means it can help absorb moisture from the air, preventing foggy windshields and windows.
Fill a small jar with baking soda and place it in your car. Don’t forget to remove the lid!
You can also sprinkle some baking soda on a clean cloth and wipe the windshield.
