IF you’ve tried everything to get rid of condensation on your windows and nothing has worked, you’ve come to the right place.
With the temperature dropping, more and more of us are bound to find condensation in our homes.
But if the age-old techniques of using salt or cat litter just aren’t shifting it, here’s another simple trick that you’ll want to try.
A cleaning fan who is known online as ‘Blooms Abode’, took to social media to reveal how she gets rid of condensation in her home, leaving many impressed.

If you’ve run out of baking soda and want to give this hack a try, you’ll find some for as cheap as 65p in Tesco or Asda.
Step Three: Banish Mould
In the third and final step, she used the Astonish Mould and Mildew blaster.
She continued: “Use a mould spray once every two weeks to keep at bay.”
The spray can be used on other problem areas in the home, including shower curtains, bathroom tiles and grubby grout.
For just £1.50, you can find the spray in your local Sainsbury's.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @blooms_abode, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it was shared just 10 hours ago, but has quickly amassed a whopping 59,100 views.
But social media users were divided at the hack – while some were impressed, others weren’t as convinced.
One person said: “Do you just leave the bicarb on the window for a while?”
In response, the cleaning enthusiast confirmed: “Yes eventually it’ll go hard so just change it then.”
Meanwhile, another added: “Just buy a dehumidifier, pennies to run, no more condensation.”
However, the cleaning guru clapped back and wrote: “For every room? That would be expensive. I have one in my utility where I dry clothes.”
A third commented: “Any tips for windows that aren't double glazed? As I have the old single glazed ones and if I spray anything on it the paint will come off.”
The cleaning whizz then replied: “The only thing I would suggest is a window vac? They’re amazing! If you try and stop it the water will attach somewhere else and cause damage.”
