Drivers are getting used to seeing colder and darker mornings as they set off after dealing with the condensation on their windows. While it may seem like a hassle to many, motorists can now make use of some cheap de-misting hacks to save time and money.
Mike Thompson, COO at Leasing Options, said: “There are many hacks for preventing moisture and some are, granted, more effective than others.
“Ultimately, drivers need to keep windows clean to prevent moisture from clinging to dirt. Avoid leaving wet items in the car, like damp umbrellas and jackets as these will add more moisture to the air.
“To de-mist your car quickly on the go, start the heaters off cold and increase the temperature gradually once the air has dried.
“Point the direction of your heaters to your dashboard so the air flow warms and dries any moisture sitting on the windows.”

Leasing Options suggest filling a tupperware box of coarse rock salt and placing it into the vehicle.
To prevent the salt from spilling over, put a lid on the box and pierce holes in it to allow it to still work it’s magic.

Cat litter pellets are designed to absorb pet excretions, but can also absorb moisture from the air.
Drivers can put fresh cat litter in a pair of tights, which can also be purchased for a low cost at most supermarkets and clothes shops.
The tights should then be tied together to secure them and placed on the windscreen and rear window shelf to soak up any occurring moisture.
