A woman has revealed a cheap hack to get rid of condensation - and all you need is an item from your cupboard. Megan Slack thought she had everything she needed when she moved into a new apartment, but after a few months she realised she might need a dehumidifier. The journalist said she noticed "significant" condensation had developed over time. However, Megan was hoping for a much "smaller" and "fairly instant" solution so hunted alternative options.
Luckily, her dad helped save the day, and suggested that she tried using salt. The best thing about this is a bottle of 750g salt from Asda is only 65p. Speaking about the recommended trick, she said: "After sharing my condensation woes with my father, he told me to consider using salt, at least as an experiment. Then, if it did not work, I would know I tried a 'smaller' alternative and pick up a dehumidifier with ease.".
Speaking about the method, she advised: "To follow the teaching, I filled a small bowl with salt and placed it on the ledge of my windowsill. However, I have also heard that you can sprinkle a little salt on windows and doors before you go outside – if you prefer to try this method with a bowl. Then, I left the bowl untouched and went on with my day.".
And the results? Well, there was still a little bit of condensation which appeared after she showered, but nothing major, reports Homes & Gardens. Megan added: "While there was still condensation in my bathroom after my shower, I noticed my windows were much less cloudy in my main living space – and I haven't noticed any sign of mould anywhere in my apartment.".
