Is anyone else getting condensation and mould on their windows?
What do you prefer using to clean it, and are boxes of baking soda a good cheap substitute for the moisture absorbing tubs?
I air the house out with the screen doors locked but between the cold and other people I canโt have things open all the time.
Clothing rambles
Stocked up on socks and jocks thinking I was getting the previous kind I liked. The lower elastic digs into your bum and there has been fabric saving creep in the cut - those โboylegsโ are definitely just midi briefs now, and those have turned into bikini. The socks fit ok but the thin fabric will probably get holes in weeks to months.Every morning I wipe down the windows with paper toweling to mop up the condensation.
For the windows covered by fly screen, I open them slightly and close off the room until the water has evaporated from that window.
So far, this has kept any mould issues at bay by being diligent and clearing the moisture away before mould can take hold.
Unfortunately in my area I canโt have the windows open or even open the blinds. I might give a regular wipe down though
Hmm you can't have your windows open at all for any length of time?
No, I might open the back one for a short while due to the fence but my area is really rough.
Hmm. Another option is to use a dehumidifier regularly.
If you can afford a dehumidifier melbsy, this is probably your best option
