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.
