Winter Car Tips: A Simple Solution to Common Driver Problems

Using Salt to Combat Moisture in Your Car

To reduce excess moisture and prevent condensation on your windows, place a jar of salt in your car. This simple trick works like a natural dehumidifier.

Best Place: A cup holder is a great place to place salt. To increase effectiveness, mix salt with charcoal. Put the mixture in a plastic container, cover with a sock, and place it under the seat or near the air vents.

Salt Substitutes

While salt is a convenient option, there are other effective ways to combat moisture in your car:

Newspapers: Place a few newspapers on the floor of your vehicle to absorb moisture.

Silica Gel: Use silica gel sachets (often available in new stores) by placing them in a cloth and placing them on the dashboard to counteract moisture.
Applications

No complicated methods or expensive tools are needed to deal with the moisture in your car in winter. Simple remedies like salt, charcoal, newspapers and silica gel can make driving in cold weather more comfortable and safer.
