One trick involves using cat litter. Simply fill a pair of tights with fresh cat litter, secure it, and place it on your car's windscreen and rear window shelf overnight.

This will absorb any moisture in your car, and removing them in the morning will help prevent your windows from fogging up.

Another hack is to use dish soap. By applying a thin layer of washing-up liquid to your car windows and buffing them dry, you can prevent condensation from forming when warm air meets the cool glass.

You can find affordable washing-up liquid at most supermarkets or use what you already have at home.

Ever found those little silica sachets in boxes of new shoes?

Leasing Options suggest repurposing a few of these silica gel packets by placing them in your car to prevent moisture build up. They can absorb moisture and reduce humidity by up to 40%.

Plus, once they're dry, you can reuse them.

Finally, why not try a new use for shaving foam?

Keep your windows fog-free by giving them a clean with shaving foam. Simply apply the foam to your windows, give it a good rub in, and then wipe it off.

This will leave a thin film that stops moisture from sticking. You can pick up a cheap can of shaving cream for just 99p or use what you already have at home.

Battle dampness with salt. Use coarse salt in a tupperware container to soak up humidity.

Fill a tupperware box with coarse rock salt, cover it with a lid that's been pierced to prevent any spillages, and let it do its job absorbing moisture in your car.
