WINDOW PAIN

£1 buy is ‘incredible’ at getting rid of condensation by ‘sucking up moisture’ instantly – no need for a dehumidifier

Condensation can cause black mould to grow and walls to get damp

Sick of waiting up to your windows dripping with water when it’s cold outside? One cleaning fan has shared how she gets rid of condensation instantly. 

Gemma O’Reilly took to the Facebook group Mrs Hinch’s Cleaning Tips to share her £1 buy that helps get rid of condensation.

She posted: “[It’s] that time of the year that terrible condensation comes back on the windows. 

“Found these in Savers [for] £1 and omg for such a thin cloth they suck up all the moisture!!! 

“Definitely worth a try if your windows are as bad as mine in the mornings.” 

The product she was raving about was the Buzz Microfibre Glass Cloth. 

The microfibre cloth removes moisture, finger marks and smudges and leaves a streak-free shine behind. 

They can be used as part of “chemical-free cleaning”, as there is “no need for cleaning sprays or disinfectants”. 

The product description says “the cloth is treated with long lasting protection to prevent bacterial growth and reduce the spread of bacteria between household surfaces”, perfect for reducing mould around windowsills too. 

Josie Uden commented on Gemma’s post and asked: “Are they reusable???” 

Gemma replied: “I have used mine a few times, haven’t washed it yet, I think washable same as any cloth you buy.” 

Sarah Morgan also uses the cloths and said: “These have been a god send, highly recommended. 

“I have one for the house and one in the car, wipe down with micro fibre cloth first then dry completely with no smudges or streaks with minky grey glass cloth, as each morning comes along the condensation has reduced each time, got mine from savers.” 

Lynsey Crombie, aka The Queen of Clean also recommends using a microfiber cloth to remove condensation on windows. 

She said: “Basically, what you need to do is wipe the water off every morning. 

“A good thick microfiber cloth to just get it off. Open the window as well, and let the window actually dry. 

"Make a priority of every morning just going around the house with your microfiber cloth.”
