While cleaning glass may seem like a never-ending battle, there is a surprisingly simple solution.
The Facebook user reported a domestic goddess in the Mrs Hinch's Cleaning Tips group and claimed that "good ventilation" was key.
She said: "I leave the window open at night when I lie in bed. It wasn't even fully opened an inch and I never received one.
"In fact, my house is the only one on my street that doesn't have condensation on the windows. »
Someone replied: "I just leave the window open a little at night and it works." »
"Free way to get rid of condensation = open windows lol," joked a third.
Although many people swear by this tried and tested method, one user was incredibly skeptical about this trick.
In fact, he warned other people not to use this cleaning method because it could endanger their homes.
The affected Facebook user commented: "Please think twice before leaving a window open when you are not home and/or awake; It's an open invitation to thieves.
"If your window is open and the neighbor's window is closed, he will choose your house."
What's shocking is that even opening an upstairs window isn't a solution, as thieves often use trash cans or similar household items to gain access.
However, the cleaning expert had another important reason why windows should not be left open unattended.
"Furthermore, if you are robbed and the entry is through an open window, your insurance will most likely be voided.
"I'm not writing this to scare people, but robberies do happen and I would hate to read that someone has become a victim," he added.
If you are affected by this, you can easily change the method and open multiple windows for a shorter period of time.
Many windows are also equipped with a security latch that locks them when they are opened by one centimeter and cannot be opened any further from the outside.
This anti-mold tactic comes from Germany and is called "Stoffluften," where homeowners open all windows for a short period of time, usually just three minutes.
