Just a little more patience and the unpleasant companion of the autumn-winter season – condensation on the windows – will remain in your home for several months.

Condensation is a real test for housewives. It flows from the glass onto the window sills, forms puddles, leaves behind yellow stains, and stains the curtains.

The worst thing is that excess moisture in the house leads to the formation of mold and mildew, which is fraught with health problems and unplanned repairs.

Here's what you need to do to forget about this problem once and for all.

No chemicals will help here.

The reason for the appearance of condensation is the difference in temperature between the room and the street, the number of flowers and other seedlings on the windowsill.

Drying laundry, cooking, and proper ventilation also affect humidity.

The most effective method in any of the above cases is coarse table salt left in containers or other receptacles on the windowsill.

Due to its structure, it absorbs moisture perfectly.

The glass will remain dry and clean, but the salt may become hard. You should not throw it away after this. It is enough to dry it in the oven or in some other way, after which you can return it back to the windowsill.
