Windows will not have condensation if you use 1 bathroom staple that acts in moments

The cooler weather calls for warmer homes, which in turn, results in condensation appearing on windows. While it may not seem like a big deal, condensation can eventually lead to damaged paintwork and even mould growth.

That's why now is a good time to learn how to eradicate condensation, which doesn't necessarily mean investing in expensive dehumidifiers or costly solutions. For households looking for a short-term solution, indoor living experts may have the answer. Specialists at home and garden retailer VonHaus, the quick and easy hack involves using a bathroom staple: shaving foam.

This simple method has become so popular online that it's been dubbed a "social media darling," and it involves rubbing a thin layer of shaving foam onto your windows and buffing it off until the glass is clear.

The shaving foam works thanks to the surfactants it contains, which prevent water from clinging to the glass, keeping your windows fog-free.

"It's fun to try and might be useful for short-term needs (say, before hosting guests)," said the experts.

However, while this method works instantly, the effect isn't permanent, lasting anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the room's humidity.

For a more lasting approach, the old-school method of placing a bowl of salt on your windowsill can be useful if used correctly.

Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture from the air, helping to absorb excess humidity.

However, the experts warned that salt can only absorb so much moisture before it becomes saturated.

Once the bowl is full, it will stop working, leaving you back at square one unless you refresh it.
