As the temperatures start to drop, you might be familiar with the sight of your car windscreen fogging up in the early hours making your daily commute a nightmare.
The cooler evenings result in condensation forming when the cold air from outside clashes with the warmth within your vehicle, leaving your windscreen annoyingly misty.
Particularly in older cars where window and windscreen seals may not be at their best, this bothersome issue isn’t exclusive to classic motors – even a hot drink or your breath can cause the glass to steam up.
For those fed up with the daily chore of wiping down the windscreen before setting off, there is some good news. A savvy social media user on TikTok has delivered a “game-changing” suggestion for keeping windscreens clear, reports the Mirror.
Lianne is all about using car dehumidifier bags simply place them on the dashboard at night, and let these moisture-absorbing helpers do their thing.
These little sacks are specifically made to capture moisture, guaranteeing a swift departure in your motor without the hassle of wiping away condensation.
In an update, Lianne told her audience: “Does your car look like this [with condensation] in the mornings? Mine just started to do this again every morning, which means it’s the time of year to bring these bad boys back out.”

Filled with enthusiasm, she added: “Last night, I left one of these in my car. These are dehumidifier bags, and they’re a game-changer.”
Lianne didn’t just point out the issue as she came armed with a great tip, saying: “Let me tell you, this saves me so much time in the colder months. All you need to do is chuck it on the dashboard, and it will soak up all that moisture and condensation from inside, stopping you from having to faff around wiping your windscreen thing in the morning.”
Highlighting the convenience of her recommended product, Lianne noted that the specific brand of dehumidifier bags she uses can be microwaved to renew their absorbency, ready to be placed back in the car. Those seeking to banish misty windows can find these dehumidifier bags readily available on Amazon, typically retailing at around £10 for a pack of two reusable options.
There are plenty of other options to consider, including the XTreme Auto Large Moisture Killer Bags, which cost £12.99 on eBay for a pack of two. Halfords also stocks a single Simply Reuseable Car Dehumidifier for £7.99.
After Lianne shared her clever hack online, followers rushed to swiftly confirm the effectiveness of these dehumidifier bags. They recounted their own positive experiences with the gadget, enhancing its credibility.
Fans were quick to heap praise on the bags, with one admirer exclaiming: “I have one of these. They’re fantastic, so easy to dry them out, and it’s very worth it,” and another chimed: “I need to give these a go!”
So far, there have been no negative words of these dehumidifier bags from TikTok viewers who have also given them a go.
