Window condensation is something many people deal with during colder months. You wake up in the morning and your windows are covered with water droplets, making the glass foggy and wet. While it may seem like a small problem, too much condensation can eventually lead to mold, peeling paint, musty smells, and even damage around the window frame.
My nana always used a simple method that required almost no effort, but surprisingly worked very well. Every morning, she would quickly wipe the moisture off the glass with a dry cloth, slightly open the window for a few minutes, and place a small bowl filled with salt or baking soda near the windowsill. Sometimes she even used cat litter in a small container because it absorbs moisture from the air.
The reason this trick works is because condensation forms when warm humid air inside the house touches the cold surface of the window. The moisture in the air turns into water droplets on the glass. By reducing humidity and improving airflow, there is less moisture available to collect on the window.
