Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it naturally pulls moisture from the air.
By placing a small bowl or cup of salt inside your vehicle, you can significantly reduce humidity and condensation.
Here’s what salt does for your car:
🌫️ Prevents Foggy Windows: Less moisture means fewer misted-up glass surfaces.
🪑 Protects Upholstery: Low humidity helps keep fabric and cushions from absorbing moisture.
👃 Eliminates Odors at the Source: Unlike air fresheners that simply mask smells, salt tackles the cause—moisture—where mildew and bacteria thrive.
💰 Affordable & Effective: No gadgets or sprays required. Just salt, and maybe a container.
🧼 Extra Tips for a Drier Interior
Pair salt with these common items for extra moisture-fighting power:
Crumpled newspaper (great for short-term absorption)
Silica gel packets (often found in packaging)
Charcoal briquettes (they absorb odor too!)
📉 Why Act Fast?
Unchecked dampness can lead to long-term interior damage, mold growth, and bad smells that just won’t quit. But with a touch of salt, you’re protecting your ride—and your nose.
