Mrs Hinch fans shares 29p trick to clear window condensation and you’ll probably have it in your cupboard already | The Sun

IT'S a common problem in the winter – condensation pooling on windows.

And while people often use dehumidifiers to rectify the problem, Mrs Hinch fans have come up with an easier and MUCH cheaper way of stopping the issue from happening.

Taking to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook, Sophie Randell requested help for her condensation issues after moving into a rented property.

"Without fail, everyday the windows have condensation like this," she wrote.

“I’ve tried the little (dehumidifier) pots shown in the picture to help but it’s made zero difference.

“Any advice on how to stop this would be brill! It even leaks water onto the window seal some days from how much condensation there is.”

Cleaning fans quickly rushed to the post to offer their advice, with the most popular suggestion being to use salt.

"Put salt in a bowl on the window sill. It will draw the damp to it," someone wrote.

"Leave a little pot or two of salt on your window sill," another said. "It draws the moisture. Just put a fresh pot/bowl out each night.”

“I’d recommend that too," a third concurred.

While some people suggested using a window vacuum, someone else commented: "No-one’s got any money for that especially coming up to Christmas.

“Here’s a cheaper way, grab a big plastic tub and make your own dehumidifier by putting cat litter or salt or even sugar in it – anything that will absorb moisture.

“Also to wipe away the water on the windows, the micro cloth are great they soak up loads of water."

And given that a large pot of table salt costs from just 29p, the hack is a budget-friendly way of dealing with the problem.
