If you’ve ever woken up with water droplets on the inside of your window, you’ve likely got a condensation problem – but Mrs Hinch fans have shared a simple solution
If you’ve ever awakened to discover water droplets coating the interior of your window, you’re probably dealing with a condensation issue. Condensation happens more often during winter months and can be made worse by cooking, bathing and steam.
Hanging clothes indoors can also trigger condensation as the moisture from the garments cannot get out.
With this in consideration, admirers of cleaning expert Mrs Hinch have revealed a straightforward technique for eliminating condensation from windows, reports the Express.
A Facebook member posted in the group, ‘Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips’: “Any tips on water/lots of condensation on the windows? Even with the damp pots/dehumidifier/windows open there’s still a lot on all the windows.
“Can’t leave my little one’s bedroom window open as she’s only two and on and off ill already.”
The most recommended approach was to use cat litter packed inside a lengthy sock. Eilise Black replied: “Cat litter in pots or tied into socks or stockings on the windowsill will help with the condensation.”
Jennifer Smith commented: “Fill a long sock with cat litter and put it on the windowsill. Doesn’t look good but absorbs quite a bit of moisture.”
Cat litter can be purchased from Sainsbury’s for £2.19, Pets at Home for £4.39 and Asda for £2.18.
Additional recommendations for tackling condensation included using washing-up liquid and a Karcher window vacuum. Joey Mclennan shared: “Yes! It’s simple. I saw this on Nancy Birtwhistle and it defo works. Dry cloth and a spot of washing up liquid wiped all over the windows and hey presto no condensation the next morning.
“I put it on half the windows in my living room first day and the ones that were treated were clear and the others not. Hence I went ahead and did the others. No idea when I will have to reapply but all good for now. Simple.”
Gill Heron responded: “Use a Karcher to suck up condensation, then leave windows open for 10 minutes or so. Should be fine after that.”
