You sit in the car, coffee in hand, a thousand thoughts in your head, and time is pressing you more than usual. You start it and suddenly you see it. Fogged up windows. You sigh in annoyance because it’s not the first time. You quickly grab a rag, maybe a jacket sleeve and the result? The windows are boarded up and you can’t see anything. How to prevent it?
Fogged windows are not just a cosmetic defect that spoils your view. They are a direct result of moisture inside the car that gets there from many sources. A wet umbrella, snow on your shoes, and even ordinary breathing create an environment where moisture accumulates and condenses on cold glass. The result is not only poor visibility, but also musty air and possible risks such as mold growth. There is a solution and you can do it yourself in a few minutes.

It may surprise you, but one of the easiest ways to get rid of moisture is to use cat litter. Yes, exactly the granulate that cat owners normally use in their toilets. Because cat litter has one essential property, it perfectly absorbs moisture. Just use it correctly, and foggy windows and unpleasant smells in the car will become a thing of the past.
How to do it? First, get a cat litter, ideally a rougher unscented version. You can find it in any pet supply store or larger supermarkets. You will also need a cloth bag, an old sock or other breathable material that will keep the granulate inside, but at the same time allow it to function. Pour about half a kilo of cat litter into the bag, tie it tightly and place it under the seat or in another inconspicuous place in the car. Do you have a bigger car? Add a second bag, for example, to the trunk or to the back seats.
Result? Within a few days you will notice that the windows fog up less, the air in the car is more pleasant and the musty smell disappears. This is because cat litter actively absorbs excess moisture from the air, thereby preventing condensation on the windows. And best of all, you don’t have to worry about it. Just change it every few weeks.
Kočkolite contains materials such as clay or silicate, which are capable of binding large amounts of water. Thanks to this, its effectiveness is much higher than that of ordinary home remedies. And because it doesn’t contain chemicals or perfumes, you don’t have to worry about it negatively affecting the environment in the car.
This trick is perfect for all types of vehicles, from small city cars to large family SUVs. It doesn’t matter if you use the car every day or park it most of the week. The kitten will do the work for you without you even noticing.
