This Morning expert 'swears by' unusual cleaning hack to stop condensation

A cleaning expert has wowed fans by sharing an "unusual" method to stop condensation.

The UK has been hit by bitterly cold weather at the start of December. Condensation can prove a huge problem for many households throughout the plummeting temperatures.

Lynsey Queen of Clean has built up a large following through her clever hacks and has appeared on shows such as This Morning. She has taken to TikTok to share her family's method for keeping condensation at bay -as Chronicle Live reports.

She instructed viewers to ensure they wipe moisture build-up off their windows each morning with a microfibre cloth and open windows to let them dry out. She added that using a dehumidifier can be a "game changer" for combatting condensation.

Lynsey then added an unusual tip as she advised viewers to apply washing up liquid to the glass, which her mum, who worked as a cleaner, "swears by". The Queen of Clean explained: "You only need a tiny drop. You're creating a barrier which is going to stop the water from sticking on it."

The clip quickly racked up thousands of views on TikTok - and while some viewers were sceptical that the method would leave smudges on the windows, others chimed in to share that they swore by the hack themselves.

One person said: "Washing up liquid does work, I had to do it with my old windows."

Another added: "It works - I do this each week to keep on top of it," another commenter revealed. "I had my own cleaning business and used to make my customer baffled when I did this to their bathroom mirror."

A third added: "I tried this trick two nights ago and it made such a difference!"

Lynsey responded to several people who raised concerns that the liquid would leave smears all over the glass as she added: "No smears at all, it is a very small amount." Others in the comments section recommended getting a PIV unit installed to improve ventilation in the home.
