Sometimes, the simplest household items can solve unexpected problems — and salt is a perfect example. Beyond its traditional use in the kitchen, this common ingredient can become a powerful ally for your car, especially during cold or humid seasons. Putting a glass of salt in your car may sound strange, but once you understand the science behind it, you’ll see why every driver should try this easy trick.
🌨️ 1. The Hidden Enemy: Moisture Inside Your Car
Have you ever noticed foggy windows, damp seats, or that musty smell that lingers inside your car after a rainy day? That’s humidity — and it can cause more problems than you think. Excess moisture not only makes your vehicle uncomfortable but can also:
- Encourage mold and mildew growth.
- Cause electrical issues and damage sensitive sensors.
- Lead to foggy windows, which reduce visibility and driving safety.
- Create unpleasant odors that are difficult to remove.
This is where salt — a natural and powerful dehumidifier — comes to the rescue.
🧂 2. Why Salt Works So Well
Salt has hygroscopic properties, meaning it absorbs water from the air. When you place a glass of salt in your car, it naturally attracts excess moisture, keeping the air dry and fresh. It works much like commercial dehumidifiers, but for a fraction of the cost and without electricity.
Salt can even help prevent frost on your car’s windows during winter, reducing the time you spend scraping ice in the morning.
