Window experts reveal 6 ways to avoid water condensation this winter

Window experts have revealed six ways to prevent condensation on your windows this winter, without using a dehumidifier.

Condensation results from excess moisture in the air that forms on cold surfaces when it is colder outside than inside. This is also due to lack of ventilation.

Not only is condensation annoying to the eyes, it can also cause serious problems in the home.

Often the recommended solution to get rid of it is to purchase a dehumidifier. But there are other solutions if this is not possible, according to the Daily Mail, which consulted experts on this subject.

This is their advice:

Use baking soda

Placing bowls of baking soda on your windowsill can significantly reduce humidity.

You will notice that it hardens over time, which means it is doing its job. Moreover, it is affordable and you can get it in any supermarket.

Experts confirm that it is “excellent for small rooms, as it absorbs moisture and helps prevent condensation.”

Use rock salt for large areas

In larger, less dense rooms, you can choose rock salt to draw out moisture.

“In larger rooms, rock salt can be an effective alternative. Experts explain that it absorbs a greater amount of moisture, making it suitable for larger rooms where condensation is a problem.

Open windows

Opening windows briefly allows humid indoor air to be replaced by drier outdoor air.

Some people choose to do this first thing in the morning for an hour or when they are not home.

Smart shower

It may be appropriate to use fairly warm water and take a short shower.

After showering, always ventilate the bathroom by opening a window or using a fan to circulate humid air.

Moisture-absorbing plants

Few people know that some plants, such as peace lilies and Boston ferns, naturally absorb moisture.

Check regularly for signs of moisture

Finally, it's worth watching for signs of excess moisture, such as water spots or mold growth, especially in less ventilated areas.

Experts say that detecting these problems early and using simple treatments can prevent the problem from getting worse.
