Water droplets in window glass may not seem like a big deal, but the excess moisture caused by condensation can eventually lead to dampness and mould growing in the home. 

Condensation is likely to make a house cold but can also lead to peeling wallpaper, ruined furniture and an unpleasant musty-smelling home throughout winter. 

Bedrooms are more likely to be affected by condensation since more moisture is produced while sleeping which leads to humidity building inside a room and not getting a chance to escape since people are less likely to open their windows in winter. 

However, the experts at Cardiff Window Cleaner have claimed there is a simple and quick task that will get rid of window condensation, and all you need is two items in your kitchen. 

They said: “If you wake up and find condensation on your bedroom windows, a great way to clear away the condensation and prevent it from coming back is by mixing a homemade solution.

“Simply mix two cups of water and two cups of white vinegar, then add a couple of drops of dishwashing soap.”

How does this homemade window cleaner work? 

It may seem strange, but the white vinegar you put on your chips contains acetic acid, which can easily break down the foggy build-up left behind by condensation. 

Not only is vinegar highly effective at cleaning glass but it also leaves behind an invisible layer on a glass surface that can repel water and slow down condensation.

Additionally, white vinegar is antibacterial so will kill mould spores and also evaporates extremely quickly so it will not leave streaks on your glass. 

Washing cut through grease, dirt and any other grime sticking to windows which makes it useful to mix with white vinegar. 

The experts said: “White vinegar creates a protective barrier, and soap breaks down the surface tension of the droplets on your window.”

Method: 

All you need to do is mix one part water, one part vinegar and then just a few drops of washing-up liquid together. 

Make sure to only use a tiny amount of washing-up liquid as too much will smear on your windows and just make them look dirty instead of cleaning them.

Next, pour the mixture into an empty spray bottle and spray a generous amount of the solution on your window.

Leave the solution to dry by itself to create a protective barrier on the glass, and it should slow down condensation to stop dampness coming into your home.

This homemade solution will make window glass less likely to collect water droplets, prevent mould growth on window panes and also leave glass sparkling clean.
