Ah yes! That’s a common winter problem—condensation on windows happens when warm indoor air meets cold window surfaces. It can cause mold, water damage, and foggy views. Here’s a simple, fast way to reduce or eliminate condensation on plastic or PVC windows in just a few minutes.
Quick 3-Minute Method to Remove Window Condensation
You’ll Need:
- Microfiber cloth or paper towel
- Spray bottle with water + a few drops of dish soap or vinegar
- Optional: hairdryer
Step-by-Step
- Wipe Down the Window
- Use a dry microfiber cloth to remove visible condensation.
- This stops water from dripping and reduces mold risk.
- Spray a Protective Layer
- Mix 1 part vinegar or mild dish soap with 3 parts water.
- Lightly spray on the window and wipe again.
- This prevents fogging for several hours because it reduces surface tension of water.
- Optional: Use a Hairdryer
- For really cold windows, blow warm air across the glass for 1–2 minutes.
- Keeps condensation away quickly and dries hidden moisture in corners.
Extra Tips to Prevent Condensation
- Ventilate: Open windows briefly to reduce indoor humidity.
- Use a Dehumidifier: Keeps indoor air dry in winter.
- Don’t Block Radiators: Warm air should reach the windows.
- Double-Check Seals: Poorly insulated windows condense more.
💡 Pro Tip:
- Doing this every morning during winter can keep your windows dry, prevent mold, and make your rooms feel warmer and fresher.
