What to Do When There's a Hazy Layer on the Glass?

Here are some methods to deal with hazy glass: Using a Plastic Brush to Clean: Use a new plastic cleaning brush. Soak the brush completely in water and then wipe the glass directly. The plastic brush has strong cleaning power and is long enough to reach the outer side of the glass, making it easy to remove dust. Additionally, this type of plastic brush is easy to disassemble and clean. If any areas remain uncleaned, you can add some detergent to the water, wipe the glass again, and then rinse with clean water. Using a Wet Cloth to Wipe: First, wipe the glass with a wet cloth. Then, pour a small amount of liquor onto a dry cloth and scrub the obvious stains on the glass with slight pressure. If you don’t have liquor at home, you can also mix a small amount of shampoo with water, stir well, soak a cloth in the mixture, and wipe the windows. Finally, use a clean cloth to remove any water stains, leaving the glass bright and clean. Using Old Newspapers to Remove Dust: The simplest way to remove dust from glass is to use old newspapers. If you have unused newspapers at home, don’t throw them away. Instead, dampen them and use them to wipe off dirt on the glass. Newspapers are excellent at removing dust, leaving the glass clean. Using Onion to Wipe: You can use fresh onion to wipe the glass, which will make it clean and bright. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub the glass. The key is to quickly wipe off any water stains with a dry towel while the glass is still wet.

As a car owner who frequently commutes by driving, I often encounter the issue of windshield fogging. When the weather is cold or rainy, the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car causes moisture to condense into fog on the glass, obstructing visibility. My quick solution is to immediately start the car, turn on the air conditioning system, and switch to the defogging mode—usually indicated by a fan arrow pointing toward the glass button. Whether the air conditioner blows cold or warm air, the key is to remove the moisture. I also make it a habit to slightly open the window for ventilation to expel excess moisture. If the fogging is severe, I quickly pull over and gently wipe the glass with a cloth to avoid taking risks while driving. For prevention, I keep the interior dry by minimizing wet items and regularly cleaning the glass surface of oil film. Safety comes first, and fogging should never be taken lightly.

As an automotive maintenance enthusiast, the essence of foggy windows is the condensation phenomenon caused by temperature differences and high humidity. Common defogging methods include: activating the car's air conditioning dehumidification function and directing it toward the windshield, which works by using dry air to reduce humidity; or using the heater's warm air to more thoroughly melt the fog; or simply opening the windows to allow convective airflow to accelerate fog dissipation. For prevention, ensure the air filter is clean to reduce dust. Frequent use of hard objects to wipe the glass is not recommended to avoid scratches. In emergencies, pull over safely to handle the situation. Remember to check the integrity of the seals after defogging to prevent moisture intrusion.

As a novice driver, encountering fogged-up windows for the first time can be really nerve-wracking. When visibility is poor, I've learned a simple trick: right after starting the engine, press the AUTO button or directly tap the windshield defogging icon on the climate control panel, then turn up the fan speed to blow air onto the windshield for a few seconds. The fog will clear up quickly. Opening the windows slightly helps too. Never wipe the windshield with a cloth while driving—it's too risky. Now that this has become habitual, clear visibility returns instantly, making driving much safer. New drivers shouldn't panic; mastering this basic technique is enough to handle most situations.

As a seasoned driver, when the windshield fogs up, I prioritize using the heater's warm air for defogging as it removes moisture more effectively and lasts longer than cold air. Sometimes I also crack open the windows for ventilation or gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Safety is paramount - if fogging occurs, pull over safely to address it rather than driving impaired. For prevention, maintain interior ventilation to reduce humidity and clean interior glass surfaces of oily residues before driving in rainy conditions. These old-school methods may be simple, but they're reliable.
