Tired of steamy windows, which are a common problem in apartments in winter? You can easily get rid of this problem with an unusual home remedy. Just reach for your favorite cosmetics from the bathroom. This is a cheaper solution than buying specialized ones at a much higher price.

Winter is a season that has exactly as many advantages as disadvantages. The latter also include the problem of steamy windows, very common in the colder months of the year.

Moisture in the air, temperature differences between the apartment and the yard or irregular ventilation often result in the windows becoming covered with a layer of steam. However, you don’t need to use expensive store-bought anti-fog products to alleviate this problem.

Forget anti-fogs. You can coat the windows in your apartment with this and your windows will not get steamed up

To prevent windows from fogging up, use your favorite bathroom cosmetics. You can find it in the cabinet next to the sink, on the stand next to the bathtub or in the shower.

Of course, we’re talking about shaving foam, which works on a similar principle to most popular anti-fog products. However, it is cheaper, more accessible and faster to use.

Shaving foam creates a thin protective layer on the surface of the glass that prevents water vapor from settling (makes condensation of drops on the glass more difficult). So this is a great temporary solution that you can use every 6-8 days.

How to use shaving foam to prevent windows from fogging up?

Using shaving foam to demist windows is very easy.

  • First prepare the window, make sure the glass is clean and dry (impurities weaken the effect), then apply some product to a soft cloth.
  • Spread it evenly on the glass over the entire surface to create a thin protective layer.
  • After the shaving foam dries, gently buff the window with a dry cloth to keep it clean.
