Condensation on windows will disappear forever: a trick from the USSR that installers are hiding

Every morning you wipe puddles from the windowsill, and mold is already blooming on the walls? Do not rush to change the windows

Often the problem is not in them, but in... the flowers.

Yes, yes, your favorite ficus and geraniums emit moisture that settles on the glass. Move the pots away from the windows - and the condensation will decrease by half.

Another secret: put a candle in a glass on the windowsill and light it in the evening. The flame will heat the air and the moisture will stop accumulating.

But if you don’t want to play with fire, buy silica gel (those little balls from shoe boxes), pour it into a sock and put it in the corner of the window – it will absorb the water overnight.

Also check the kitchen hood: clogged ventilation is the main cause of dampness. Open the bathroom door after a shower and turn on the fan for half an hour.

And one last piece of advice: in winter, do not place tables and cabinets close to radiators - this disrupts heat circulation.

Move the furniture 10 cm, and the windows will stop "crying". By the way, in the villages they used to hang bags of salt on the frames - try it, it works better than expensive moisture absorbers.
