Condensation on windows is a phenomenon where moist air in a room cools upon contact with cold glass and settles on it in the form of droplets or a layer of water.

This can lead to various problems, such as fogging up of windows, the appearance of mold and mildew, damage to frames and window sills, deterioration of thermal insulation and visibility.

To get rid of condensation on windows, you need to follow several rules.

Ventilate the room regularly to remove excess moisture from the air.

Install ventilation grilles or open vents in areas where the most steam is generated, such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Reduce the number of sources of moisture in the room, for example, dry clothes on the balcony or in a tumble dryer, use a hood when cooking or a humidifier when heating.

Increase the temperature of the window glass, for example, by insulating the frames or installing double or triple glazing.
However, if you have already encountered the problem of condensation on your windows and want to quickly and effectively eliminate it, then you can use regular baking soda.

Baking soda is a natural and safe product that has excellent absorbent and cleansing properties.

Here's how you can use baking soda to solve your window condensation problem.

Mix baking soda with a little water to form a thick paste.

Apply a thin layer of paste onto the window glass and leave for 10-15 minutes.

Rinse off the paste with warm water and wipe the glass with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Repeat the procedure as necessary.

Soda will not only help remove condensation from the window, but also get rid of stains, streaks, and dirt. In addition, soda will prevent mold and mildew from appearing on the glass and frame. This way, you can keep your windows clean and healthy.
