Many car owners face the problem of fogging up windows inside the car, which creates inconvenience and can lead to dangerous situations on the road.

However, few people know that there is an unusual and effective way to combat this problem – using cat litter.

Therefore, it is worth understanding how it works and what you need to know.

Operating principle

Cat litter, usually intended for use in cat litter boxes, contains silica gel, a substance that effectively absorbs moisture from the environment. And if you place it in a car, the cat litter will absorb excess moisture.

How to use in car

And here is where you should be careful. It is important to understand that when the filler begins to absorb moisture, it will "fall apart". Therefore, it must be placed in dense fabric bags.

How often to change

It all depends on the amount of moisture in the car. If we consider the usual situation, it can last up to one month.

However, when the humidity in the car is high, it can be used up in literally one day. Therefore, it is worth regularly monitoring its condition and changing it if necessary.

Why this solution is worth using

Unlike many commercial window defogging products, cat litter is a fairly inexpensive and long-lasting solution.

One bag of filler can be used for a long time before replacement is required.

Where is the best place to place

The placement is a bit more complicated than it might seem at first glance. You can try placing such a bag under the car seat.

If you are considering a hatchback or station wagon, the filler can be placed in the trunk of the car.
