Don’t Let Fog Cover Your Windshield and Windows!
You’re running late for work. You race to the car, put your seatbelt on, and fire up the engine. Suddenly, you realize you can’t see a thing because your windshield and windows are all fogged up.
If you think that using a piece of cloth to wipe your foggy windshield and windows will fix this problem, think again. Unless you make some changes to your vehicle’s environment, the fog will come back.
3 Ways to De-Mist Your Windshield and Windows
Your windshield and windows steam up when the warm and moist air inside your vehicle hits their cool surfaces. Fortunately, you can do a few things to stop fog on its tracks and ensure visibility. Breast Cancer Car Donations has pulled together the following tips to help you de-mist your fogged-up car.
1. Warm up your engine.
Once you get in the car, dissipate the fog by letting your engine run for a bit before pushing your defroster button. Once you’ve turned on the heat to its maximum setting, you’ll want to turn the AC back on. The air coming out from the AC will eliminate the moisture inside your vehicle. You may use the defroster once you’ve successfully regulated your car’s indoor temperature.
2. Don’t recirculate warm air.
You circulate the air inside your car when you turn on your heater. It’s worth noting that recirculating air will only move the moisture around through your system.
In other words, turning on the recirculate button on your car’s console will cause you to recirculate the same interior air, perpetuating the moisture that causes windshield and window fog. For this reason, be sure to turn off your recirculate button on your AC or heater. Doing so will heat and cool your car using fresh, cool, and dry air from the outside.
3. Crack your windows open.
Unless it’s raining, you’ll want to open the windows to let the warm and moist interior air out of the car and keep condensation to a minimum.
