Say goodbye to foggy windows with this simple cleaning hack

Do you feel like water regularly condenses on the glass? This phenomenon is normal in many homes during the year's cooler months. During this time, we ventilate our homes less, which increases the moisture level. Moist air accumulates on rapidly cooling surfaces like windows.

The phenomenon of condensation is often observed in homes and kitchens, bathrooms, and cars. Frequent appearance of water on glass indicates excessive humidity in the room. Excess water can lead to mould on furniture and walls. However, you can prevent this, here's how.

Too high humidity is the result of poor air circulation. When was the last time you ventilated your home? If it's rare, you're making a mistake. Regardless of the weather outside, it's worth ventilating rooms for at least 15 minutes a day. Regular ventilation helps reduce moisture levels and removes harmful bacteria from the air.

TikTok is a treasure trove of household tips. Many people active on "cleantok" present recipes for cleaning products made from natural and readily available ingredients. A TikToker, the Cleaning Queen, showed her technique for removing moisture from windows. She applies a few drops of washing-up liquid on the glass and then polishes until the surface is streak-free. This creates an invisible barrier that prevents condensation.

An alternative to washing-up liquid is shaving foam, which, when rubbed on the surface, also prevents moisture from condensing. Simply apply it to a microfibre cloth and wipe the window or mirror. The foam creates a hydrophobic barrier that works against moisture. It's worth repeating the process weekly to bid farewell to foggy windows.
