As temperatures drop, many households are waking up to condensation on windows, which can lead to mould if left untreated. Fans of cleaning influencer Mrs Hinch have shared a simple and affordable solution: a dehumidifier, with some options costing as little as £1.
In a Facebook group dedicated to cleaning tips, one member asked for advice on preventing heavy condensation on bedroom windows. Commenters overwhelmingly recommended investing in a dehumidifier, noting its effectiveness in drawing moisture from the air. Disposable dehumidifiers are available from Poundshop.com for £1 for a pack of two, making them a budget-friendly choice.
One commenter said: 'A dehumidifier will help massively.' Another added: 'I bought a dehumidifier and was surprised how much water it collected.' A third user stated: 'The only thing that worked was a dehumidifier. I have nothing on my windows now.'
For those considering electric dehumidifiers, they can also aid in drying clothes without a tumble dryer. John Lewis sells a MeacoDry ABC Dehumidifier for £149.99, while Currys offers the Essentials C10DH19 at £99.99, down from £109. Alternatively, some fans suggest using plates of salt near windows or keeping windows slightly open to improve air circulation.
