Fortunately, a self-proclaimed “cleaning enthusiast” has shared a method she swears by that will help you say goodbye to condensation with minimal effort.
Don’t worry, with this technique, you likely already have the necessary kitchen items in your cupboard.
Posting on TikTok, Lily, a cleaning expert from the UK, shared a guide for those struggling with condensation in their homes.
She stated: “The last video went viral where I showed you how to keep moisture out of your home – so I’m here to provide a step-by-step on what I like to do.”
For the first step to “keep condensation away,” you’ll need to grab a microfiber cloth. As Lily explained: “First, wipe away all that condensation using a dry cloth.”
Next, you’ll need to follow Lily’s “buffed” trick: “For the next step, take another microfiber cloth, apply a small amount of Fairy Liquid to it, and buff it into those windows – you’ll wake up to no condensation the next day.”
If you’re out of Fairy Liquid, you can purchase some for just 94p from local stores.
If you're on a budget, you’ll be pleased to know that you can find even cheaper washing-up liquids for 62p and 70p, and they will work just as effectively.
Moreover, Lily highly recommends using a dehumidifier, which she considers essential for those wanting dry windows.
If you don’t have a disposable dehumidifier, there are many options available online, with Dry Bag Portable Dehumidifiers starting from just £5.52.
Lastly, regardless of the temperature, you need to stop keeping your windows shut if you want to prevent condensation.
Eager to help others maintain their homes, Lily advised: “And also, everyone, open those windows – rain or shine.”
Social Media Users React
Lily’s video, posted under the username @ cleanwithlilyx , has left many viewers amazed, quickly accumulating 243,200 views.
Social media users expressed their gratitude for Lily’s advice, with many rushing to the comments to share their appreciation.
What is condensation?
Condensation refers to water droplets that form on a window when moist air comes into contact with a cold surface.
Condensation occurs when:
Air cools:
Warmer air can hold more moisture than cooler air. When moist air touches a cold surface, like a window, the water vapor in the air turns into liquid water droplets.
Windows are colder than walls:
Windows are often colder than insulated walls, making condensation more likely to occur on them.
Windows are poorly insulated:
Poorly insulated windows can lead to condensation, especially if they are made of aluminum, which conducts heat quickly. If left untreated, condensation can result in mold and other serious issues.
One person commented: “A fantastic hack.”
Another added: “I love your tips.”
Meanwhile, after trying Lily’s method, a third user remarked: “It worked wonderfully.”
