What is what to do when windshield fogs up?

Here's information on what to do when your windshield fogs up:

• Turn on your Defroster: This is the most effective method. Crank up the heat and direct the airflow towards the windshield. The defroster uses the car's heating and/or AC system to quickly evaporate the condensation. Use the defroster%20button in your car.

• Use Air Conditioning: Believe it or not, AC helps. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air, which reduces fogging. Run the AC alongside the heat for optimal results.

• Adjust Airflow Settings: Make sure the airflow is set to "fresh air" (drawing air from outside) rather than "recirculate" (reusing the air inside the car). Recirculating air traps moisture inside the vehicle, exacerbating the fogging problem. Using fresh%20air%20setting is very useful in these cases.

• Open Windows (Slightly): If the fogging isn't too severe, cracking open the windows a bit can help equalize the temperature and humidity inside and outside the car, reducing condensation.

• Use a Defogging Spray or Cloth: Apply a commercial defogging spray or wipe to the inside of the windshield. These products create a barrier that prevents condensation from forming. Using a defogging%20spray can make driving much easier.

• Clean Your Windshield: A dirty windshield can attract more moisture and contribute to fogging. Regularly clean the inside and outside of your windshield with a glass cleaner.

• Dry Wet Items: Wet items inside your car, like umbrellas or jackets, increase humidity and contribute to fogging. Remove or dry these items if possible.

• Check Your Car's Ventilation System: A clogged cabin air filter can reduce airflow and contribute to fogging. Replace the cabin%20air%20filter regularly.
