How do you defog a windscreen with kitty litter and a sock?

Winter driving in general is not so much fun. Apart from the fear of slipping and driving in whiteout conditions, we have to start our cars long before we leave to get the engine warmed up and the windows defrosted. Even then, many of us end up with foggy windscreens due to the inevitable humidity in our vehicles. So how do we combat fog?

Why, with this simple trick, of course! Many people swear by cat litter and socks to remove and prevent windscreen fogging. I know it sounds silly, but litter absorbs moisture from the air, which is what causes your windows to fog up. Another advantage? Litter also absorbs bad odours.

Simply fill a sock to the brim with cat litter. Secure the end of the sock with a rubber band to prevent the litter from escaping. Then simply place the sock on the dashboard of your car and you won’t have to worry about fogged up windows! If you don’t like the idea of having the sock directly on your windscreen, you can place it under one of the seats.
