You’ve felt it: that heart-sink moment when you climb into your car on a damp morning, only to find the windows completely fogged, the air thick with a stale, vaguely musty scent, and your sleeve already damp from futile windshield wiping. You crank the defroster, but the moisture seems to cling like a stubborn houseguest.

What if the solution wasn’t a $15 “anti-fog” spray or a high-tech dehumidifier—but something already in your pantry?

Spoiler: It’s salt. Not iodized, not fancy—just plain table salt, sitting quietly in a cup on your dashboard. And no, your car won’t smell like the sea. Quite the opposite.

The Science Behind the Simplicity
Salt is hygroscopic—a fancy word for a simple superpower: it actively pulls moisture from the air and holds onto it. Think of it as a passive, self-recharging dehumidifier. While you’re at work, running errands, or sleeping, that unassuming cup is silently absorbing humidity—reducing condensation on windows, inhibiting mold spores in upholstery, and cutting off the dampness that feeds lingering odors.

It’s not magic. It’s physics. And it’s been quietly recommended by auto technicians for decades—because it works, reliably and inexpensively.

How to Do It (Seriously, It’s This Easy)
Grab a clean, stable cup or small bowl (a mug, ramekin, or even a washed yogurt cup works).
Fill it ¾ full with plain table salt (iodized or non-iodized—both work).
Place it on the floorboard, center console, or dashboard—out of direct sun (heat can cause clumping).
Leave it. That’s it. No charging. No refills. No instructions.
→ Pro tip: Add a few drops of essential oil (eucalyptus, lavender, or lemon) to the salt for a subtle, clean scent—not to mask odors, but to elevate the freshness.
