With many waking up to condensation amid freezing temperatures, some may be looking for cost-effective remedies.
Experts recommend improving ventilation in a home but that's often easier said than done as you won't want to leave windows open in this weather. However it's also not something that you should ignore as condensation can lead to damp and mould around a window frame.
As reported by the Mirror Online, a woman has shared a quick solution which only put her back £3.50'.
TikTok user @clairedouglasstyling took to social media to show off just how effective a cheap window insulation kit could prove to be. The kit consisted of a clear sheet of film which 'stops the windows attracting condensation', according to the social media user.
The woman wrote: "Room felt warmer, less heat loss = saving on bills, no condensation on windows, cheap, easy to fit, can open the window."
In the clip, Claire shows the product before cutting to a clip of her windows which look clean and clear. In a previous video she showed herself putting the sheet up,
After taping around her window and cutting the sheet to size, Claire uses a hair dryer to heat the product so it shapes better to the window.
She wrote: "Sounds too good to be true" as she pushed against the now taught plastic protecting her window. Each criteria was bullet pointed and ticked off after her test, showing that it worked for her home.
Claire added in the caption: "As air temp decreases the volume of moisture it can hold decreases (a room at 20c can hold twice the amount of water vapour that a room at 10c can). When the warmer air hits a cold surface it causes condensation.
"Therefore, these kits will help increase the room temp marginally (by reducing heat loss through inefficient windows) and stop the windows attracting condensation but won't eliminate air moisture if your house is poorly heated and/or ventilated - so if you suffer with very bad condensation due to the heating being off a lot use with a dehumidifier if you can.
"In short, these are fantastic value at £3.50 and will deffo help but won't fix all your problems on their own."
As well as receiving almost 10,000 views, commenters asked where she purchased this clever condensation clearing kit from and although Claire did not answer with where she specifically had got hers. One helpful commenter added that they could be purchased on Amazon.
