With the arrival of the winter months, the issue of humidity forming inside vehicles has once again come to the forefront. In particular, the fog that covers the windows in the early morning hours seriously restricts drivers' visibility. The collision of cold air with the warm, humid air inside creates a layer akin to a fog curtain.
However, there is a way to tackle this issue. Let's take a look...
The moisture created from indoor breath, damp clothes, and even snow brought in from outside transforms into tiny water droplets on the window. The colder the weather, the greater the temperature difference between the window and the indoor environment, leading to a more intense fogging effect.
Throughout the night, as the outdoor temperature significantly drops, by morning, vehicle windows become practically icy. Even the slightest increase in indoor temperature can cause the windows to fog up. Waiting for the windows to defrost or running the heater takes time, creating a significant stressor for drivers amid the daily hustle and bustle.
Particularly, black and green tea bags, thanks to the natural structures in their leaves, possess the ability to absorb moisture in the air. Even when used, these tea bags serve as mini dehumidifiers by drawing in excess moisture accumulated inside the car.
Placing a few tea bags on the dashboard, in door pockets, or under seats over time reduces the humidity level inside. This, in turn, significantly helps to decrease the fog that forms on the windows in the mornings. Moreover, since tea also absorbs bad odors, it contributes to creating a fresher atmosphere within the vehicle.
