Floor mats should be checked after heavy rain or snow. If they are soaked, removing and drying them can prevent the water from slowly evaporating into the cabin air.
Crumpled newspaper can assist with temporary dampness, but it should not remain after becoming wet. Replacing saturated material prevents the absorbed water from staying inside the vehicle.
Keeping the interior reasonably clean and dry supports the same goal as the salt method. Every source of moisture removed from the cabin gives condensation fewer opportunities to develop.
Clear Glass Remains the Immediate Priority

A cup of salt is a gradual moisture-control measure, not an immediate solution when the windshield is already covered in fog. Drivers should never begin moving until the glass provides a clear view of the road.
Theheater, ventilation system, and windshield controls remain important for clearing condensation before and during a journey. Wiping the inside of the glass may also be necessary when fog is severe.
