Not only can this make for an unsightly mess, but these water droplets can also lead to the growth of mould - which, in some cases, can be fatal. Amongst those most vulnerable are newborns, young kids, elderly, as well as those with respiratory issues, allergies and asthma.

As temperatures are now dropping, thousands of desperate Brits have been taking to social media to seek advice and tips on how to deal with the issue. The person, one o the staggering 2.2million members of the page, explained that they're ''really suffering with a lot of condensation on bedroom window'' and have attempted to banish it with numerous methods.
''We’ve tried leaving the window open which doesn’t work, I’ve cleaned them with fairy liquid which don’t work,'' the person wrote in the post. ''The only thing that seems to work is having the heating on all night (costly) or the dehumidifier on all night which is costly and noisy. Has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?''.
Luckily for the Facebook user - and anyone else who's on the lookout for effective hacks to get rid of condensation - the post was soon inundated with more than 100 responses. Dozens of fellow members of the page flooded to the comments where they shared their top remedies, with one explaining why the viral washing-up method didn't work.
