Car hacks: Practical tips for a more comfortable drive

Many people spend significant time driving, so knowing some practical tips can make this daily routine more pleasant and worthwhile. These tips can often help you perform specific tasks faster, more conveniently, and with less effort.

If your car heats to very high temperatures, there is a simple way to cool it down quickly. Just open the driver's side door, then the other door and window on the passenger side. Then, fan the doors several times to ventilate the car of the hot air effectively. For even better results, you can also open the boot.

In a region where fog is frequent and your car windows fog up, particularly at the bottom, moisture-absorbing sachets might be the solution. You can usually find them in shoeboxes. To avoid moisture on the windscreen, place the sachets the evening before.

Worried about the possibility of scratching the doors of neighbouring cars when opening your doors? You can easily prevent this by covering the edges of your doors with a thin layer of tape. Although it may not be the most aesthetic solution, it will protect both your and other vehicles' doors from scratches.

When vacuuming the car's interior, you often encounter difficulties reaching tight spots. To solve this, put a toilet paper roll on the vacuum cleaner hose and flatten its end to fit into the gaps you want to clean.
