A simple “moisture-wicking” household item to remove condensation from windows

If you see drops of water in the window when you wake up, this indicates a condensation problem, which is more common in the winter. This can be caused by everyday activities like cooking, showering, and even drying clothes indoors where moisture has nowhere to go.

Fans of Mrs Hinch have found a practical solution to this annoying problem. In the Mrs Hinch's Cleaning Tips Facebook group, a member asked for advice: "Any advice on water/lots of condensation on windows?" Even with wet trays, dehumidifiers and windows open, there is still plenty of liquid on all windows. »

Expressing their concern for safety and health, they added: "I can't leave my little girl's bedroom window open because she is only two years old and already gets sick from time to time."

A popular trick among the group is a widely accepted cat litter suggestion. Eilise Black suggested: "Cat litter in pots or tied with socks or stockings on the windowsill helps reduce condensation," reports the Express .

Following this, Jennifer Smith recommended: "Fill a long sock with cat litter and place it on the windowsill. It doesn't look good, but it absorbs a lot of moisture. »

For those who want to try this trick, cat litter is available at Sainsbury's for £2.30, at Pets at Home for £5.99 and at Asda for £4.50. Notably, other users also advocated alternative methods, such as using dish soap and using a Karcher window vacuum to address the condensation problem.

Joey Mclennan offered a helpful tip: "Yes! It's very simple. I saw this with Nancy Birtwhistle and it really works. A dry cloth and a spot of dish soap wipe down all the windows and voilà, no condensation. The next morning."

He then explained his testing method: "I applied it to half of my living room windows on the first day and the treated windows were clear, the others were not. So I went ahead and did the others. I have no idea when I will, but for now.

In the same discussion, Gill Heron offered an alternative solution: "Suck up the condensation with a Karcher and then leave the windows open for about 10 minutes. Everything should be fine after that."
