Do you notice condensation or moisture in-between your windows around your home? Here are some quick and easy tips and things to do to remove the moisture and prevent it from coming back:
- Keep your home well-ventilated. Open windows and use exhaust fans to help circulate air and remove moisture.
- Run a dehumidifier in the room where the windows are located, which can help absorb moisture from the air.
- Insulate your windows to help prevent drafts and keep warm air inside your home.
- Fix any leaks or cracks in the windows or window frames to prevent water from entering your home.
- Clean your windows regularly with a squeegee and a solution of water and vinegar to remove any buildup of dirt and grime.
- Apply weatherstripping to the window frames to help keep out drafts and prevent moisture from entering your home.
- Try not to dry clothes inside the house, if you have to use a dryer, vent it outside.
- Don’t overuse bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans, as they can cause negative pressure that pulls moisture inside from outside.
- Check your window sills for any signs of rot or water damage. Repair or replace them as necessary.
- If the problem persists despite your best efforts, it might be a good idea to consult a professional who can assess the situation and provide additional solutions.
