How to quickly remove fog from the windshield?

If your windshield is too foggy, you increase risk of accident because your visibility is decreasing. This is especially true in winter, so it's important to know what to do if fog gets on your windshield! We will explain everything to you in this article!

🚗 How do I activate the anti-fog function?

This is the first reflex to take: the fogging function of your vehicle removes the fog. The two-in-one function also effectively relieves frost.

Once activated, it directs powerful air to the windshield and allows you to quickly clear it from fogging. Your rear windshield is equipped with a resistance that heats the glass and gradually removes fog and frost.

If your car is not equipped with a fogging function, turn on the air conditioner at full power. Hot or cold air? Both work, but the colder the air is drier, the faster the moisture is absorbed. So go for cold air if you're in a hurry!

🔧 How do I set the recirculation air to the external position?

Does recirculation of air mean anything to you? This is a function that allows you to choose where the air will come from and circulate in the passenger compartment.

To limit fogging, set recirculation air to the outer position. The air entering from the outside through the ventilation will absorb some of the moisture from the passenger compartment.

3 grandma's anti-fog tips (for the bravest):

• Scrub your windshield with a bar of soap: Dampen a bar of soap, wipe the inside of the windshield with it, then wipe it with a microfiber cloth. And just like that!
• Use potatoes: Yes, you read that right! Cut the potatoes in half and rub them on the windshield. This is the same principle as soap, but this time it is starch, which forms a protective film on the windshield and slows down the formation of frost and fog.
• Place a sock filled with (clean!) Filler on your dashboard : Agree, this is special, but quite logical, since cat litter has absorbing properties. If you care too much about your image to use this product (and we understand you), there are packages with equivalent "granules" for this.

One final tip: this air conditioner in the car that allows you to get rid of fogging as efficiently as possible! So, first of all, make sure it works well. If it is presented signs of weakness, take contact a mechanic for repair.
