If the air in the room is much warmer than the temperature outside, then condensation may actually appear on the windows.

But a lot also depends on the level of humidity in the apartment – in any case, in winter, moisture accumulates on the window faster.

Too much water can cause mold and mildew to appear.

We have previously written about how to remove mold from windows in an apartment.

What mistakes should you avoid making in your apartment to avoid condensation?

Here are some tips.

  1. Heating limitation. When the heating is turned off, condensation begins to accumulate faster.
  2. Uneven heating of a house or apartment. It is necessary that all rooms have approximately the same temperature.
  3. Drying clothes on radiators. This can cause accelerated formation of dampness and mold.
  4. Turning on the heating, but keeping the windows closed. Windows should be opened for at least 15 minutes a day.
