Effective ways to reduce humidity inside the car

During humid days in the North, the possibility of water entering the vehicle compartment increases, affecting the driving process and vehicle users.

Here are some ways to reduce humidity in your car:

Turn on the air conditioner

The simplest way to reduce humidity in a car is to turn on the air conditioning. When turning on the air conditioning, use the inside air mode to avoid moisture from outside entering the car.

Turn on the glass dryer

When the weather is humid, water vapor will condense and stick to the car windows, reducing the driver's visibility.

To overcome this situation, drivers should turn on the air conditioner at a moderate temperature, not too different from the outside temperature. At the same time, turn on the windshield defrosting feature to let the steam evaporate quickly. From there, the driver has better visibility, limiting collisions.

Close when moving

High humidity in the air can enter the car if the windows are not closed. Therefore, it is advisable to close the car windows when traveling in humid weather.

Use desiccant

Another way to reduce humidity in the car is to use desiccants such as activated carbon, baking soda, finely ground coffee, salt... Place the desiccant in a cloth bag or large box with many holes and place it under the car floor or in the trunk.

Drying cloth items

Car owners should also dry fabric items inside the car such as cushions, blankets, pillows, carpets, shoes... because these items easily absorb moisture.

In addition, you can sprinkle baking soda on the surface of a damp cloth in the car, leave it overnight, then use a vacuum cleaner to remove moisture in the cabin.

During the wet season, you should use rubber mats instead of fabric mats to limit humidity in the car.

Choose a suitable parking location

You should find a dry, covered parking space so that your car is not affected by humid air. If you have to park outdoors, you should cover it with a tarp.
