How can I remove fog on my car window?
Every time I turn on the air, my car's windows fog up. This doesn't feel safe to me, and I want to limit it as much as possible. How can I prevent this from happening?

“Good on you for recognizing that it’s a safety issue—although luckily, it’s one with many solutions! To remove the fog from your window, you have several options, including:
- Crack the windows
- Wait to turn the air conditioning on
- If the air conditioning is on, turn off air recirculation
However, you can prevent it from happening by doing these things:
- Use an ammonia-based window cleaner
- Rub shaving cream into the window
- Use fresh air mode, which pulls air from the outside If your windows are fogging, always pull over until the fog diminishes.
You’re right to recognize that cloudy windows can be a real safety issue, and can end up being expensive. Driving with fog on the windshield can cause you to get into a
car accident
—and this, in turn, can cause your car insurance rates to go up. If your rates have risen recently, or if you want to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your coverage, you may want to shop for new insurance. Use the
