πβ¨ How to Prepare Your Home for Winter β and Keep Your Windows Dry! β¨π
As the colder months arrive, many homes start to struggle with condensation on windows, damp corners and that heavy βwinter airβ.
Here are simple, affordable tips to keep your home warm, dry and cosy this season:
βοΈ 1. Increase Air Circulation (Even When Itβs Cold!)
β’ Open windows for 5β10 minutes daily to let moisture escape.
β’ Keep interior doors slightly open to allow air to move.
β’ Avoid pushing furniture directly against cold walls β leave a few centimetres of space.
βοΈ 2. Reduce Moisture Indoors
β’ Always use lids when cooking.
β’ Turn on the extractor fan during showers and leave it running for a few minutes after.
β’ Avoid drying clothes inside β or dry them near an open window.
βοΈ 3. Use Budget-Friendly Moisture Absorbers
Great inexpensive options:
βοΈ Salt in small bowls
βοΈ Baking soda
βοΈ Reusable moisture absorbers (Β£1 shops!)
These help collect excess humidity quickly.
βοΈ 4. Keep Your Windows Crystal Clear
To prevent foggy or wet windows:
β’ Wipe frames regularly β moisture sits in the corners.
β’ Add a tiny drop of dish soap to a cloth and polish the glass β creates a thin layer that reduces fogging.
β’ If condensation appears every morning, wipe it immediately to prevent mould.

βοΈ 5. Create a Warm, Cosy Airflow
β’ Keep heating at a steady, low level instead of switching it on/off.
β’ Use thermal curtains β they hold the warmth inside.
β’ A dehumidifier works wonders, even a small one!
β¨ A warm, dry home feels so much better β and is healthier for you and your family.βοΈβ¨
