De misting car windscreen - help

Frith

My plastic ice scraper has a rubber strip on the reverse side which works well for getting condensation off the inside of the windscreen. I sort of "push" all the condensation to the edges of the screen then the heater dries the centre out quickly.

Try a little neat washing up liquid on a dry cloth rubbed on and buffed off when inside windows are dry, they shouldn't steam up for a few days afterwards.

I used to do this on the visor of my crash helmet when I biked.

You need to make sure the car heater is set to use fresh air from outside the car and not recirculate the car's internal air. The latter just recirculates the moist air.

(Recirculate is indicated on the heater switch by circular arrows inside a pic of a car, the fresh air has a pic of a car with arrows coming in from outside the car).

Also bear in mind that if you leave a damp cloth in your car it will then provide the moisture to mist up your windows the next day. Try your best to keep any damp cloths out of the car overnight

Will have to try this, i get quite a lot of condensation on my windscreen (had a massive leak last year which has made my car quite damp!) when the weather was really cold last year I was chipping ice off the inside!!

I might try getting one of those moisture trap things where the beads turn to liquid in the bottom. don't know if that might work a bit for you?

OH uses one of the wardrobe moisture traps from Home Bargains which is great for internal condensation in the car. Got it on recommendation of our neighbour who also had the problem. They conveniently hang over your interior mirror.
Would making sure the air vents are closed help too?
ETA The Aldi windscreen covers are great when they have them in - I think they are about £2.
