Older cars: Combat lingering damp smells
Cars parked outside: Fight overnight condensation
Even if you live in a humid climate like Florida or coastal areas, this tiny trick makes a noticeable difference.
Pro Tips for Maximum Impact
Use coarse salt or rock salt —lasts longer than fine table salt
Refresh regularly —if salt turns mushy, it’s full. Dump it, add new salt.
Pair with silica gel packs —place a few inside the container for extra power
Keep away from electronics —don’t put it directly under dashboards
Store when not in use —bring it inside during extreme weather
Bonus: You can reuse old salt in your driveway for traction—or toss it in the garden (in moderation).
Final Thought: Sometimes the Best Fixes Are the Simplest
You don’t need high-tech gadgets or expensive products to solve everyday problems.
Sometimes, all it takes is:
A glass
A spoonful of salt
And the courage to try something that sounds too easy to work
And when you slide into your car tomorrow morning…
Dry windows.
Fresh air.
No swiping, no stress…
You’ll know:
You didn’t just stop fog.
You upgraded your whole ride.
