Winter weather can be a real pain for homeowners. Many of us wake up each morning to find the inside of our windows covered in water droplets, forcing us to take time out of our busy morning routines to wipe down the surfaces. Condensation is a common issue in the winter as the cold air from outside meets the warm air inside your home. However, neglecting to clean it can lead to significant problems - leaving water on your windows creates a breeding ground for mould.
But if you don't have the time to stand there with a cloth and wipe your windows dry, there's a simple solution that allows the windows to clear themselves. What's more, it only takes 10 minutes to do - and it's already a popular practice in other countries like Germany.
In a post on Reddit, a user sought help removing condensation from their windows. They stated the windows were not blown, but covered in water every morning and wanted advice on how to stop the problem. The post garnered over 450 comments, and one of the most popular suggestions was incredibly straightforward - just open the windows. Not only is this completely free, but it also enables the windows to clear themselves so you can continue your morning routine without having to spend time clearing the condensation yourself.
One savvy individual recommended a brisk approach to home ventilation, saying: "Shock ventilation. Each morning, open the windows (especially so on dry cold days) fully and all doors if you're able. 5-10 minutes is all it takes. Then shut all the windows and doors and heat the house.".
