During the winter months, condensation starts to appear more and more often. Many people may notice that their bedroom window thickens with moisture in the morning. In some cases, it may be the only room in the entire house that is covered in condensation in the morning. Most often, this is your bedroom window. The reason for this is the combination of the cold air outside and the people sleeping inside. At night, the moisture from your breath will collect on the cold surface of the window. The same principle applies when you breathe on the window. This can be made even worse if you leave your bedroom door closed, meaning excess moisture has nowhere to escape. Here are 2 simple methods to reduce the amount of condensation that collects on your windows:
3 methods to safely remove mold from your home
Limit sweating by opening a window or getting a dehumidifier. Opening the window will mean that moist air can escape outside the room while the dehumidifier works by drawing warm air currents into its coils via a fan. Warm air contracts as it passes through the machine’s cooling coils, leaving condensation in the dryer. Dehumidifiers can be an expense, but they come in a variety of price ranges. You can also buy disposable dryer sheets. They can be placed near affected areas in the home and disposed of once full. If there are vents around your window panes, it’s a good idea to open them as well. These openings are mostly at the top or bottom of the window and when open allow passive ventilation and stop condensation.

WHY CAN CONDENSATION BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HOME?
Although condensation in itself is not a problem, if left untreated, it can lead to dampness and provide an ideal environment for mold to grow. When mold builds up, it can endanger your health as well as damage the walls of your home. You should know that inhaling or touching mold spores can cause an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Molds can also trigger asthma attacks. Babies and children, the elderly, people with existing skin or respiratory problems, or people with weakened immune systems may be more sensitive to mold exposure.

Mold thrives in damp and wet environments, which is why it is often found in areas such as the kitchen or bathroom. If you have mold or moisture, it’s important to find out why your home has excess moisture. When you know what’s causing the moisture, you can make sure your home needs repairs or take steps to limit the moisture in the air. You may need to hire a professional to remove the mold, but if it’s a small amount, you may be able to remove it yourself. If you notice mold in your home, there are ways to treat it, but if the root cause isn’t addressed, spores will likely continue to grow.
