When drainage channels become clogged with dead leaves and other debris, they become less effective at draining rainwater . Therefore, it is essential to remove dirt from the windshield, hood, sunroof, or rear of the car. This simple action, within everyone’s reach, can already make a difference.
2) Limit sources of humidity in the car
To keep it as dry as possible, you should avoid bringing wet items into the vehicle . For example, if it’s raining or snowing, you should put your wet clothes in the trunk and pat your shoes dry before getting in the car. If your floor mats have gotten wet, you can put them out to dry, for example in the sun. And if you’re lucky enough to have a garage, you can take advantage of it to leave the windows slightly ajar to allow ventilation. To take it a step further, you can also make your own cheap moisture absorber with a knotted sock filled with silica cat litter, charcoal, rice, or salt. Then, push everything into strategic locations.
3) Check the carpets
Wet carpets can cause unpleasant odors due to maceration between the frame and the mats. Textiles in the car may also have difficulty drying if exposed to moisture or rising capillaries. Knowing how to spot a wet carpet will help dehumidify it. You can do this by placing newspaper over the soaked areas to absorb the water from the carpet fibers.
