The Surprising Reason Drivers Are Keeping Salt in a Glass Inside Their Cars

Tired of foggy windows and that lingering musty smell when you open your car door? The fix is surprisingly simple—and probably already in your kitchen: salt.

Not Just a Seasoning
Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it naturally pulls moisture from the air. By placing a small bowl or cup of salt inside your vehicle, you can significantly reduce humidity and condensation.

️ Prevents Foggy Windows: Less moisture means fewer misted-up glass surfaces.
Protects Upholstery: Low humidity helps keep fabric and cushions from absorbing moisture.
Eliminates Odors at the Source: Unlike air fresheners that simply mask smells, salt tackles the cause—moisture—where mildew and bacteria thrive.
Affordable & Effective: No gadgets or sprays required. Just salt, and maybe a container.
Extra Tips for a Drier Interior
Pair salt with these common items for extra moisture-fighting power:

Crumpled newspaper (great for short-term absorption)
Silica gel packets (often found in packaging)
Charcoal briquettes (they absorb odor too!)
Why Act Fast?
Unchecked dampness can lead to long-term interior damage, mold growth, and bad smells that just won’t quit. But with a touch of salt, you’re protecting your ride—and your nose.
