A mum has revealed her simple and cheap trick to get rid of window condensation.
Nazia Safa, 30, discovered that leaving a bowl of salt on the window sill overnight helps prevent moisture from slipping through the glass. A small bottle of table salt can be grabbed for as cheap as 65p from supermarkets across the country.
The mum-of-three initially tried using washing-up liquid on her windows but noticed that water from the product would end up on her window sill. Nazia is constantly looking for tricks and tips to make life easier in her home.

Nazia, a stay-at-home mum, from London, said: “I think the salt absorbs the moisture. You just put a little bit of salt in a bowl and leave it overnight.
“You can see that the salt has moisture in it the next day. It’s very simple. Condensation is a common problem in lots of homes.”
She added: "Being a busy mum you want to try and avoid spending lots of time cleaning. I try and focus on preventive measures to avoid it.”
Nazia says opening the windows daily for a couple of hours, and wiping down the sills everyday can help stop condensation building up.
“Condensation can lead to damp and mould,” she said. “If you keep consistent and make these things part of your everyday it helps with condensation.”
The mum also opens her washing machine door and draw after every clean to stop any mould building up.
“It helps keep it ventilated,” Nazia said. “It takes a second to do and stops the mould.”
