Condensation forms when warm, humid indoor air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a window in winter. As a result, the moisture in the air turns into water. With the heating on, low outdoor temperatures, and everyday activities like cooking or showering, all contribute to increasing the humidity level in the house without us even realizing it.
Simple and natural steps to limit condensation on a daily basis
-
Ventilate, even when it’s cold
It’s often the last thing we want to do in the middle of winter, and yet: airing out a room is essential. Opening windows for 5 to 10 minutes a day allows you to refresh the air and remove excess humidity without permanently cooling the room. Ideally, air out the room in the morning, and then again after activities that produce a lot of steam, such as showering or preparing meals.
