Cold mornings and fogged-up windscreens are driving motorists mad — but a £9 reusable gadget could stop it overnight
We've all been there. Get in your car, late for work, and find the windscreen is completely fogged up on the inside.
At this time of year, moisture inside your vehicle reacts with the temperature and condenses, coating your windscreen and making it impossible to see out.
Wiping it makes a smeary mess; running the engine until it's warm enough to give you some heat will work, but it takes an age, and all you want to do is start your journey.
That's why these little gadgets are selling in huge numbers this year. Pop it on your dashboard the night before, and the little silica beads inside it get to work, sucking in all the moisture and drawing it away from your windscreen.
It's a remarkably simple concept, and they're cheaper than you might think - this one is only £8.99 on Amazon at the moment.
The best bit, though, is they're completely reusable. Once the silica has sucked up as much moisture as it can handle, an indicator on the bag turns pink - and you just lob it in a microwave to dry it out and reactivate it.
They're so effective you'll usually find they can go for a few days between recharges, and there's no real expiry date on them - you just keep using them whenever you want to.
So it's a £9 investment to give yourself a crystal clear windscreen every morning. Well worth it.
