The lack of visibility on the windshield of cars is an extremely dangerous warning. The difference in temperatures inside and outside causes a layer of mist to form on the car windows and prevents you from seeing the road properly.
It is not the only alternative to turn on the air conditioner to remove moisture from the environment and substantially improve visibility. Remember that with the air conditioning on, you consume 5% more fuel, so if you don't really need to use it for comfort, you should look at other alternatives. Here are some other tips.
1. Shampoo
You can apply some shampoo to the glass surface with a dry cloth (remember you are not washing the car), which will form a layer that repels moisture. It works and will also give a pleasant scent to the passenger compartment.
2. Homemade repellent
Combine water with white vinegar and apply with a dry cloth. This combination, if you apply it daily before going out, will protect you all day long from the dangerous mist.
3. Silica gel
I'm sure you've seen that some bags and clothes include a bag with some gel spheres.
4. Alcohol
Apply antiseptic alcohol to the inside of the car glass, you will repel moisture.
5. Buy a defogger
Technology doesn't leave us in a bad way either. There are some commercial components you can buy at the supermarket that prevent mist from forming on your car windows.
6. Soap powder
The one you use for laundry. Mix a little with glycerin and water and apply with a dry cloth.
7. A potato
Cut a raw potato and pass it through the glass before you leave. The starch in the potato will form a layer that will prevent water from condensing on the glass.
8. Be careful with the rags
It is important to know that if you use a rag to improve your visibility, you will be condensing the moisture from the car and soon you could have, in addition to more mist, a layer of thick water droplets that will complicate your visibility. If you no longer have a choice, it's best to turn on the air conditioning.
9. Cleaning
Always keep the windows clean and periodically check that the windscreen wipers are working properly, as they allow condensation to be removed from the outside of the car.
10. To keep the windscreen clean in winter
Wash the glass and crystals with hot water in which you have diluted salt. Leave to dry in the open air. This will ensure that when there is a freezing breeze at night, it will not stick to the windscreen.
