Washing-Up Liquid and Cat Litter Tips Shared to Curb Morning Window Condensation

Experts warn these tricks provide only brief relief, urging ventilation or dehumidifiers for persistent damp.

Overview

  • DIY suggestions trending this week include rubbing a tiny amount of washing-up liquid onto dry glass to form a film that helps prevent droplets.
  • Screwfix advises keeping curtains open overnight or switching to thinner curtains so panes warm up, which can lessen condensation on cold glass.
  • Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group members recommend filling a long sock or small pots with cat litter for windowsills to absorb excess moisture.
  • Users also report wiping panes with a dry cloth and a spot of detergent or using a Kärcher-style window vacuum before briefly airing rooms.
  • Coverage reiterates that sustained control relies on bathroom and kitchen extractor fans, regular ventilation, avoiding drying clothes on radiators, and using a dehumidifier for ongoing problems.
