defoggers

Windshield clarity devices

Defoggers are devices or systems that clear condensation from surfaces, especially vehicle windows.

Most cars have rear window defoggers—heating elements embedded in the glass that evaporate moisture.

Front windshield defoggers typically blow warm air.

The term extends to any anti-fog treatment: Apply this spray defogger to your bathroom mirror.
