In winter, windows sometimes "sweat," with water droplets on both the glass and the frame. Unfortunately, this is a concerning sign that should not be ignored. It may indicate that the room is too humid, which, in turn, can lead to mould and fungi and negatively affect the condition of the windows themselves. How can this be prevented? It's simpler than it seems.

Home remedies for window moisture

Before calling a professional, who might charge a hefty sum for checking the windows in your home, it's worth trying home remedies that can quickly get rid of the moisture. In this case, we need only two products: cat litter and a bowl.

Litter effectively absorbs water, making it perfect for dealing with moisture. Simply pour it into a bowl and place it on the windowsill. Remember to replace the contents of the container at least once a day.

Regular ventilation of the apartment is a simple and often overlooked method of combating moisture. Even on cooler days, it is important to ensure proper air circulation, which translates into health and comfort for the residents. This, in turn, limits the development of mould and fungi, which is crucial for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in the rooms.

Not everyone knows that plants can also be helpful in dealing with moisture. Peace lily, fern, or ivy also improve air quality.
