As the colder weather draws in, and the heating comes on in our homes, we are faced with a common problem.
Condensation gathering on the windows is an unfortunate by-product of keeping ourselves warm in winter, but it could turn into a big concern if it is not dealt with properly.
Condensation occurs when water in the warm air hits a cold pane of glass and turns to liquid. If too much water gathers on the surface, however, you can end up with mould - which can pose a risk to your health if the problem isn't solved.

One woman who had this very issue took to Facebook to ask for advice - and she was inundated with suggestions, reports Wales Online.
Sophie Randell made her plea for help in the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group where she said she was having issues with condensation in her new rented property.
She said: "Just moved into a rented property and without a fail every day the windows have condensation like this, I’ve tried the little (humidifier) pots shown in the picture to help but it’s made zero difference.
"Any advice on how to stop this would be brill! It even leaks water onto the window seal some days from how much condensation there is."
Group members rushed to share their tips, tricks and advice in the comments, with the most popular suggestion being salt - which costs only 27p in Asda for a large pot.
One person wrote: "Put salt in a bowl on the window sill. It will draw the damp to it."
"I’d recommend that too," added another.
Using a humidifier was also suggested, but one person recommended making their own instead of splashing out on one ahead of Christmas.
"Grab a big plastic tub and make your own dehumidifier by putting cat litter or salt or even sugar in it - anything that will absorb moisture," they commented.
A few people suggested that Sophie opened her windows in the morning for an hour or so while putting the heating on, while others urged her not to dry her clothes inside, as this can make the problem worse.
