In this time of the year (and especially with gloomy weather like today) it happens to you may be regularly: once you get in the car and on the road cover your windows. But do you know why that happens and how to get there from here?

It has to do with the relatively warm, moist air comes in contact with cold surfaces. Because the air on the cold surfaces condenses cover your windows. Simply put, there is too much moisture in the air, compare it with your breath when it is cold. If you are outside of exhale (your breath is at this moment almost 100% water) is your breath visible because the outside is colder than inside, and the air thus condenses. The same happens on your car windows, but because of the glass panes are fixed, the condensation a place to attach itself.

The solution is to the humidity of the air in your car to decrease. The fastest way to do this is to hold your breath and don’t sweat, since people most of the fluid in a car. Especially that first, however, we can’t recommend it, as well as the stationary heating up of your car. Therefore, set the window heating on and turn the heating up. In this way, the surface of the glass in the car is the fastest warm, so the condensation is removed (condense happens all the on cold surfaces). However, do not recirculatiestand, because that keeps the moist air out of the car to recycle. It is better to dry air from outside the auto to enter, which is less likely to condense.

Especially in older cars would still go to a lot of moisture collected sit. It can be a solution to a time during the night a vochtvreter in your car, possibly several nights after each other. Forget the thing only not on time to empty, because if it falls over by the drive, you’re back to square one!
