The Best Dehumidifiers For Cars In Australia
Does your car seem to fog up more than it should? If it does, you should probably find a solution to minimise the fogging as much as possible.
Humid air can give you a whole range of adverse health effects, as well as pose a safety risk if you can’t see out of your windscreen clearly.
So what can you do about it?
Well having a quality, UV breaking windscreen can help the situation. Or you can use a dehumidifier in your car. In this article, we are going to walk you through what you need to know about car dehumidifiers, and which are the best to use.
What is a car dehumidifier?
A 12v dehumidifier for your house is some large bulky unit, so surely that doesn’t go in your car? You would be correct in thinking that.
A car dehumidifier is more like a moisture absorber for your car. It is a bag containing silica pellets (the same as the little packets you get in shoe boxes) that absorb water particles in the air. This will help keep the air that you breathe fresher, and help keep your windscreen nice and clear.
If they are not electronic, does this mean you need to constantly replace them?
You’d think that a bag full of pellets designed to absorb moisture would have a limited shelf life, but surprisingly that is not the case. These little bags remarkably can be recharged in the microwave, and can be used over and over again. For an accurate shelf life, the box that they come in should say roughly how many recharges they are suitable for.

Your windows can help limit humidity
Did you know that your windows and windscreen can largely decrease the amount of humidity in your car and overall condensation? Your window tinting is responsible for blocking out a large amount of UV from your car, which will help with climate control. If your car is kept at a comfortable climate thanks to your UV protective windows, there will be less humidity and condensation in your car.
