Waking up to condensation on your windows is not only a nuisance, but it can also pose a health risk over time as it can lead to the growth of harmful . So, what should you do if your home is freezing and you want to conserve energy without opening the windows for ventilation?
Fortunately, there are alternative methods to prevent without having to spend extra money on moisture extraction solutions for your home.
One woman decided to put a simple hack to the test and found it to be highly effective. Instead of investing in a moisture absorber, she simply wiped her windows with two common kitchen items - a cloth and some washing up liquid.
Janine Kurtovic, an online content creator, shared on the video platform that she experiences condensation "all over" her windows and it really annoys her, so she decided to take action. According to Janine, she had heard that rubbing "a small bit" of washing up liquid on your windows can prevent condensation.
Initially, she was concerned that this might leave unsightly smears all over the window, but after watching other videos, she was reassured that this wouldn't happen if she used just a small amount. Janine decided to try the hack on her bedroom windows, leaving her daughter's windows untreated, to compare the results the next morning.
The morning after, she was thrilled to find that the trick had worked. "Look at that, no condensation on the windows," she exclaimed, showing off her clear windows in contrast to her daughter's, which were covered in moisture.
"I'm so excited because I [...] hate condensation, so this is going to be my new hack."
The results impressed many social media users who expressed their eagerness to try it out for themselves. "Wow I'm going to try this," one person commented, while another added, "Need to do this!!!".
Condensation occurs when water vapour comes into contact with a very cold surface, leading to the formation of droplets.
Washing up liquid can reduce the water's surface tension and act as a protective barrier. A small amount of washing-up liquid leaves behind an invisible layer that prevents droplets from sticking to the glass surface and accumulating.
While this is a handy trick, it's also crucial to try to keep moisture out of your home. This could involve purchasing a dehumidifier or ensuring rooms are adequately ventilated, particularly when drying clothes indoors.
