When the weather turns cold, it can wreak havoc on the morning drive. It is sometimes necessary to leave several minutes early in order to clear the windows of the dampness that fogs the windows.
Fogged windows are a result of too much moisture in the car. When the car is started and the heater is turned on, the warm, moist air in the car will come into contact with the cold windows. The result is condensation on the windows that becomes necessary to wipe away before driving.
A simple trick with kitty litter can save the morning commute. Kitty litter is designed to absorb moisture, making it useful for winter weather. To prevent condensation before it begins, fill a clean sock with unused kitty litter. Tie a tight knot in the top or secure tightly with a rubber band.
Place the kitty litter-filled sock onto the dashboard, right next to the front window. The kitty litter will absorb the excess moisture in the car and keep windows fog-free. Additionally, rolling a window down an inch overnight will help bring maximum results.
With this simple life hack, there is no longer a need to wake up early to clear the windows before running errands.
