Find the right approach
Three simple ways to tackle condensation
Different tools help with different parts of the problem. Start with what you notice in your home.
Manage moisture
Moisture absorbers can help in small enclosed spaces. A suitable dehumidifier may help where indoor humidity is persistently high.
Improve airflow
Ventilation, extractor fans and keeping trickle vents clear can help moist air escape, particularly after cooking or showering.
Where to start
Small changes can make a difference
If you regularly wake up to misted glass, try building a simple routine:
- Wipe or vacuum pooled water from windowsills.
- Use extractor fans when cooking and bathing.
- Allow ventilation where safe and practical.
- Monitor indoor humidity to understand the pattern.
- Investigate persistent damp, leaks or mould rather than covering symptoms.

Quick questions
Condensation FAQs
Why do my windows get wet overnight?
Warm, moist indoor air can condense into water when it meets colder glass. Cooking, showers, laundry drying and breathing all add moisture to indoor air.
Will a window vacuum stop condensation coming back?
No. It removes water that's already formed; it does not address the underlying humidity, temperature or ventilation conditions.
Could it be a problem with double glazing?
Condensation on the room-facing surface differs from moisture trapped between the panes. Water between panes may indicate a failed sealed unit and needs specialist assessment.
What if I also have mould or persistent damp?
Don't rely on gadgets alone. Investigate the cause, improve ventilation and seek qualified advice for significant or recurring damp or mould.
