A HOME specialist has revealed a simple trick to suck moisture from the air and stop condensation from forming. As the UK is battered with snow and rain this January, you may have noticed that the cold weather has caused condensation to start to appear on your windows.

Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing the water vapour in the air to condense into liquid water. This can then lead to mould growth on walls and ceilings, which can cause a wide variety of health problems, including asthma and rashes.
It can also cause damage to your home and furniture, so it's best to find the root cause of the issue, and fix it. One simple way to rid your home of condensation is to use a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air, ensuring that their isn't enough for it to settle on window panes.
However, they can be quite expensive, so Helen Godsiff, brand manager at home improvement specialists, Eurocell has shared how you can make one yourself for just £2. The expert revealed: "If you don’t have a dehumidifier, there’s a cheap supermarket hack that anyone can use to stop condensation, and all you’ll need is a bag of salt and a bowl.
"Salt can draw moisture from the air, preventing it from ever having the chance to settle on your windows. "Simply buy a bag of salt from any supermarket, usually for less than £2, and place it in a bowl on your windowsill. "You’ll need to give it a quick shake in the morning to prevent the moisture from sticking the salt together, but this is a great way to reduce condensation on a budget.".
