3. Wenko Car dehumidifier
Free car windows, less moisture - with the car dehumidifier 2 x 400 g, the days of fogged-up or even frozen vehicle windows in the morning are over. Like a magnet, the car dehumidifier attracts moisture from the vehicle's interior. It prevents rust, mold, mildew, and unpleasant odors, ensuring a pleasant climate in any vehicle. The dehumidifier comes in a practical 2-pack from Wenko and is equipped with a handy indicator that shows when it is full and can no longer absorb moisture. When saturated, the indicator changes color from blue to pink and can then be dried in the microwave or on a radiator. Once the absorbed moisture has evaporated, the indicator turns blue again, and the Wenko car dehumidifier is ready for use once more. This clever dehumidifier is also ideal for use in caravans, boats, garages, and classic cars, absorbing up to 25% of its own weight in water with the drying agent Active Mineral.
