Why do drivers apply toothpaste to their car windows? Discover this handy life hack!

In winter, many drivers encounter the issue of fogged-up windows, which can be quite inconvenient. This occurs due to the characteristics of winter weather, such as high humidity, rain, and snow, as well as the significant temperature difference between the car's interior and the outside, reports Ukr.Media.

However, this problem can be quickly and easily prevented. To do this, apply a small amount of toothpaste (or shaving foam – the effect will be the same) to a soft cloth and thoroughly wipe the inside of the car windows.

The toothpaste leaves a thin, invisible film on the glass that effectively prevents fogging.
