demisting
Removing window fog
Demisting is removing mist or condensation from a surface, typically a windshield or window.
Cars have demisting systems that blow warm air to clear fogged glass: I turned on the demister while waiting for the windshield to clear.
The process applies to any surface where visibility is obscured by fine water droplets.
