Mrs Hinch fans praise common household item that prevents condensation over winter

As the colder winter weather makes us reluctant to open our windows and air out our homes, a savvy Mrs Hinch fan has come up with a way to deal with condensation.

While opening your windows after a shower can result in a sudden breeze to flow through your home, it can help prevent mould accumulating in your bathroom.

A cleaning enthusiast has come up with a unique way to avoid this as she took to a Mrs Hinch page on Facebook to explain to those reading how 'life-changing' the method can be.

The Mirror reports how the solution was a cheap, yet effective, dehumidifier that uses crystals to absorb moisture and prevent household damp, mildew and condensation from becoming an issue.

The house-proud woman wrote: "Due to the obvious rise in costs, I am wondering if the pictured dehumidifiers are effective or if I'm better off getting an electric one." A pack of four interior dehumidifiers costs £6.99 on Amazon, adding up to a modest £1.74 each. At B&M, customers can also pick up a single dehumidifier for just £1.49.

Members of the group were keen on trying the hack themselves and were quick to thank the woman for sharing one of her top tips.

One person commented: "I put them next to my clothes when they dry and they are fab. Last a good few weeks as well and helps loads. Also got them in the windows as hate condensation on them."

A second remarked: "These are fine for small spaces, I've used them in cupboards with success. "I've recently bought a dehumidifier with laundry function though and it's been a game changer."
