Drivers discover ‘brilliant’ £5 tool to defog windows – shoppers say ‘they used it once and condensation was gone’
WINTER is creeping up on us, meaning we can all look forward to darker days, colder temps, and foggier car windows – except one genius has started selling a “magic mitt”.
The tools company Victor Tools have finally released their ingenious invention that stops your car from getting too fogged up throughout these winter months.
Although the product is actually called a No Fog Mitt, the company claims that they should have called it their “magic mitt”.
They state: “It eliminates mist and fog from car windows as fast as waving a wand.
“No more waiting for your car heater to clear your windshield on chilly mornings.
“This specially-treated mitt not only clears the mist, it stops it forming, for clearer, safer vision!”
The mitt conveniently fits over your hand and allows you to swipe all fog away, immediately clearing your vision point.
The durable cotton and foam blend that is used to create the product can continually be used and reused until it is completely worn.
Victor Tools are also currently offering a two-for-one deal on their product.
Happy consumers have been flooding the reviews with praise.
Joyce Elaine Brown wrote: “Very impressed with this mitt. I have a Car that gets very wet windows inside and I used this mitt once and condensation gone.”
Patricia Bent said: “A simple but effective invention”.
While others added that it was a “good purchase” and a “brilliant product”.
Meanwhile, car users in Australia have just found out that you can use your internal car heating systems to de-fog windscreens.
An Australian motors expert has been urging drivers to make use of the heater button which activates the fan and pushes air towards the windscreen.
He says that it can be easily identified through its international symbol, which is a rectangle with a rounded top and three wavy lines passing through the bottom.
It’s a universal feature in modern cars and pretty well known but, as the expert explained, should be used alongside two often forgotten tips.
First, make sure that you turn on the air conditioning function and don’t use the fan on its own.
The instructor said: “It’s best to put the air conditioning on because air conditioning acts like a booster.
“It’s going to do the job a lot quicker.
“You can crank it up to two or three and it’s going to clear it within literally 10, 15, 20 seconds.”
However, before you do that you should make sure to turn the temperature on the air con right down.
While it may seem counterintuitive, this prevents the cabin from becoming humid as the condensation dissipates.
