A home absorber will eliminate the problem of moisture on windows once and for all
The problem returns like a boomerang as soon as the nights become cold and the heating season begins in homes. One of the reasons is, of course, the large temperature difference on both sides of the glass, but also the high air humidity in the rooms. Steam on the windows most often appears at night. Unfortunately, moisture condenses on the windows and then flows onto the windowsill or into the seals, which often leads to the formation of mold around the windows. And this, in turn, has a negative impact on the health of household members. Therefore, it is best to find a way to get rid of this troublesome problem as quickly as possible. In addition to fighting against too high air humidity at home, it is worth protecting the windows against condensation. For this purpose, you should use moisture absorbers, which can also be easily prepared at home and you do not need any expensive ingredients.

One of the best natural moisture absorbers is salt. Therefore, in the evening, pour salt into a jar and place it on every windowsill in your apartment, and in the morning the windows will be dry. It is best to place the jar of salt overnight, as this is when the windows are most susceptible to fogging and will keep them dry. Of course, if the windows are fogged up in the evening, first dry them carefully with a cotton cloth.
