How do I prevent my car windows from steaming up?

“The easiest way to prevent your car windows from steaming up is to use the defogger.
If you don’t have a defogger/defroster button in your car (or if it’s broken), you can still fix the problem by doing the following:

- Direct the air onto the windshield as much as possible.
In a pinch, you can also just roll the windows down for a minute—as long as it isn’t freezing outside, which may or may not be the case in Wisconsin due to its climate.
Keep in mind that you should pull over until your windows are defogged because driving with limited visibility could cause a
