Those rechargeable dehumidifiers have been on my radar too, but I keep wondering if they’re really any more energy-efficient than just running the AC for a few minutes. Has anyone compared the actual difference in battery drain or electricity usage? I’m all for saving a few bucks (and the planet), but sometimes the low-tech fixes end up being just as good. Also, does the shaving cream trick leave any weird smell or residue after a while? I’m a little skeptical about putting anything on the glass that might mess with visibility.
- Rechargeable dehumidifiers use way less power than running the AC, but they’re slow—think overnight, not instant results.
- I’ve tried the shaving cream trick a couple times. Didn’t notice any weird smell, but it did leave a bit of haze if you don’t buff it out completely.
- Honestly, nothing beats just cracking a window for a minute if you can stand the cold.
- If you’re really worried about residue, maybe stick to microfiber cloths or those anti-fog wipes.

I get what you mean, but in my car, even a quick blast of cold air turns the whole interior into an icebox. Maybe I’m just soft, but I’d rather deal with a little haze than freeze first thing in the morning. Has anyone tried those moisture absorber bags you hang from the rearview mirror? Curious if they’re actually worth it or just another gimmick.
