With the advent of cold weather, we are faced with such an unpleasant phenomenon as fogging of glasses. This trouble is especially troublesome for drivers, because foggy windows reduce the view around the car to zero. And this is already fraught with emergency situations on the road.

However, misted windows in our houses and apartments, although they do not pose a security threat, nevertheless, cause some discomfort.

There are a huge number of special tools that can be purchased at the store, applied to the glass and forget about fogging the glass.

We will talk about the folk methods that are used when the glasses are sweating. You probably know some recipes even without me, and something will be a curiosity - I promise you!

The first anti-fogging agent.

This remedy is a hundred years old in the afternoon. They knew about him even in the days of the Union.

Prepared a mixture of glycerol and alcohol in a ratio of 1:5. If there was no alcohol, vodka was added, but already in a ratio of 1:10.

This mixture was applied to a cloth and the glass was wiped from the inside. For five days, it was possible not to worry about the fogging of the glasses.

But this tool has one drawback: the first day after application, it smells of alcohol from the salon. Can you imagine how happy the traffic cop will be when he stops you on the day when you processed the glass? However, if you did not use the day before ... What are you afraid of?

The second remedy for sweating glasses.

Shaving foam. It is also applied to a cloth and rubbed on the glass. Unlike the previous method, the salon will smell good.

Laundry soap can serve as an alternative to foam. Put the soap in the soap dish, add a couple of tablespoons of water and use a shaving brush or molar brush to lather the soap. Here, glass is processed with this foam, applied to a rag.

The third remedy for fogging windows.

I don’t know how to explain, but if you wipe the glass not with a rag, but with an ordinary newspaper, the glasses will not sweat for some time. There must be something in the printing ink that prevents moisture droplets from collecting.

The fourth remedy when the windows sweat.

And this method is from my own observations. Maybe he does not pretend to be a full-fledged remedy, nevertheless, there is an effect. You can try somewhere in the corner of the glass and draw your own conclusions.

I once had a need to stick a few strips of adhesive tape on the window glass in the kitchen. After a while, I deleted it. Washed glass. A few days later, when my wife was cooking at the stove, I noticed that the window was fogged up from the steam of boiling soup. Yes, that's just fogged up not everywhere! Where the adhesive tape was glued - the glasses were perfectly transparent, without condensation! I decided that the glass was poorly washed after the adhesive tape and washed it again. The result hasn't changed! When this glass is fogged up, the tape strips remain transparent. It was about 4 years ago. During this time, the glasses were washed many times, and the stripes remain when fogging. Surprisingly, under normal conditions, the glass is transparent and no traces of adhesive tape are visible on it. The effect comes only when the window sweats.

So I'm thinking ... And what if we seal all the glass with adhesive tape, then tear it off ... It turns out - it will no longer sweat? I'm not going to try this experiment...

The fifth way to deal with condensation on glass.

To get rid of fogging of glasses, you can deal not with the condensate itself, but with the cause of its appearance - high humidity. Here people recommend both cat litters and salt in the sock and special desiccants ... You can try ...

However, I believe that the best remedy is ... ventilation of the room (if we are talking about an apartment) and the operation of an air conditioner / stove (if we are talking about a car).
