A TIKTOK video has shown motorists a new hack to prevent mist from building up on their car windscreens.
Drivers could spend as little as 12p this winter to prevent mist and steam from building up on their car windows.
In the current cost-of-living people are always looking for new ways to save money and time.
By leaving Silica Gel packets on your car dashboard the night before drivers could save precious time from de-misting their windscreen and windows every morning.
A TikTok channel called Upthrifted posted the cheap hack with the captions: “Condensed Windows?
“Put a couple of these on your Windowsill.”
A packet of 50 2-gram sachets can be bought on Amazon for £5.99.
Making each packet worth 8p.
Silica Gel packets can also be warmed to dry out and reused again.
Motorists will be able to feel the benefits for months and continue to save money and time.
Following tests conducted by experts, Silica Gel packets can often reduce the humidity in a closed area by up to 40 per cent and prevent moisture in the process.
Other methods used to demist cars such as washing up liquid and shaving foam have also been well documented as being effective.
However, it seems using Silica Gel packets might be the easiest and cheapest way forward for motorists this winter.
Leasing options explained to the Express: “When researching the science behind why this works, Leasing Options found the handy sachets often found in boxes of new shoes and other items can absorb up and reduce relative humidity in a closed area by up to 40 per cent.
“Even better, once the sachets are heavy with moisture, they can be warmed to dry out and reused in the car again.”
They added: “So next time instead of throwing them out, try adding them to your vehicle.”
