Clearing frosty car windows adds extra time and stress to morning commutes, but removing one item from your vehicle before parking it overnight lessens the likelihood of this inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Motorists may leave water bottles in their cold car to return for an icy drink later, but this seemingly innocent action facilitates ice formation on your window\u2019s insides.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This phenomenon stems from the interaction between cold temperatures and moisture in the air and inside your vehicle, CarCovers.com reports.<\/p>\n

In other words, a rapid cool-down effect occurs when warm air in your cabin contacts cold window surfaces.<\/p>\n

When this air cools, its ability to hold moisture decreases, forming the condensation of water vapor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drivers can identify this condensation by locating tiny water droplets on the inner surface of their vehicle\u2019s windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Water inside bottles in a car\u2019s cabin can similarly evaporate, forming frost on window glass when the warm, moist air contacts cold windows.<\/p>\n

If a driver leaves their water bottles by car windows, an insulation effect can also occur since the bottles may prevent warm air inside the vehicle from contacting glass surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

One item drivers can leave in their cars to prevent frosty glass surfaces is silica gel packets.<\/p>\n

Silica gel packets, the little sachets standard in new items like shoes and handbags, are highly porous and are very effective at absorbing moisture, according to Swansway Motor Group.<\/p>\n

For optimal results, you can place silica gel packets in areas of your vehicle prone to condensation, like near the dashboard for your windshield.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
