Eliminate Moisture
If there are certain rooms or areas within your home that always seem to have a layer of condensation it might be time to turn to a trusted favorite. Moisture eliminating products like DampRid will get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Add Kitchen And Bathroom Fans
From a hot shower to a pot of steamy soup, your kitchen and bathroom are two of the areas that see the most condensation action. For these two rooms, a fan is a great way to help reduce the trouble associated with condensation. Once you have these fans installed, note that you may have to run them for up to twenty minutes after the room is used to ensure it stays damp free.
Open Your Windows
Simple and straightforward, by opening your windows you’ll release the hot, wet air and make sure that the condensation is let out. This is great for if it’s not too hot or cold outside to circulate air throughout the house so that everything is fresh.
Keep Plants Away From Windows
As your plants clean up the air in your home they create moisture as part of their process. If you’ve noticed condensation near where your plants are located, merely move your plants away from the windows.
Add Weather Stripping
Along with making your home more energy efficient, adding weather stripping to your doors and windows will ensure that cold or warm air can’t seep in or out of your home. This can be particularly useful if you are using storm windows.
Storm Windows
