Stop condensation on windows in five minutes using ‘best solution’


Winter’s arrival is heralded by the familiar sight of condensation on windows, a common issue in UK homes.

It occurs when warm, moist air meets a cold surface, causing water vapour to turn into liquid droplets. This problem is particularly prevalent during the colder months and is the leading cause of dampness in properties.

A TikTok user, with the handle Benella Home Organisation and nearly 9,000 followers, claims to have discovered the “best solution” for combating this problem and preventing mould.

She explains: “Do you struggle with this? If so, I’ve got the solution for you. Condensation happens at the back of my house because it’s the windows that are not in the sun in the morning.

“And now the weather has turned, I get condensation every morning, so it’s horrible. It’s going to make my windows all mouldy, so I have this. This is my second winter with it and it’s amazing, it’s a window vacuum.”

Demonstrating its use, she further adds: “You just go down like so and along. You keep going and then I just wipe the bottom of the soil where it can sometimes still drip.

“It’s awesome, it literally takes five minutes to do three big windows and saves it going mouldy.”

The post quickly became a hot topic online, racking up 21,400 likes and hundreds of comments. The crowd had diverse opinions, as one user suggested: “Or buy a dehumidifier.”

Meanwhile, another person aimed for simplicity: “Open your windows and save money.” Some followers were eager to embrace the tip: “Thank you!”

For those grappling with damp air at home, Amazon stocks tools to fight condensation, now potentially cheaper with Black Friday deals in play – this gadget is roughly £30.
