AS much as we love the festive season, the colder months also arrive with another guest – condensation.
Although in small amounts these water droplets are not harmful, in the long run they can cause a wide range of issues, such as mould. But fortunately, there is an easy hack to banish it – and it will cost you just 5p.
The trick, shared by Nazia X Home (@naziaxhome), has since gone viral on TikTok and has even been branded a ''game-changer''.
According to Nadia, who was recommended the hack by a follower, the answer is quite simple – salt.
Sharing the amazing results online, the cleaning enthusiast claimed she had placed a bowl of salt on the windowsill and let it do its magic overnight.
The following morning, she showed in the video, the common mineral had absorbed almost all condensation from the window.

If you've run out of salt, fear not, as one woman recently tried using washing-up liquid to tackle condensation – and it worked a treat.
After seeing the hack, Sunny decided to give it a go, and documented the process on TikTok.
"So I thought I'd give the washing up liquid on the windows hack a go," she began.
"It's meant to help with condensation by reducing it or stopping it altogether.
"I went in with a microfibre cloth and then kitchen roll to make sure it is all dry.
"Then I went in with Elbow Grease washing up liquid on a dry microfibre cloth.
"Just a small amount, and you want to smear it all over the window.
"I like to focus on the bottom of the window because that seems to be where it's the worst, but you want to get it everywhere.
"And then I'll come and check in the morning to see if it actually helped."
The next morning, Sunny went into the nursery to open the blinds and see if the hack had worked.
"And to my surprise it actually did," she grinned.
"So the washing up liquid is meant to form a barrier to stop the water sticking to the window.
"And obviously there are other ways that reduce or stop it altogether but this is just an easy, cheap way to do it."
She also revealed she's planning to wipe the windows and reapply the washing up liquid around once a week to start with.
