Shaving foam

It turns out that it can be effectively used for other purposes. For example, apply a little on a window pane, leave it on for a few minutes, and then wipe it down thoroughly with a cotton cloth. This remedy is quite enough for a couple of weeks to forget about the problem of condensation on the window, and then the procedure will have to be repeated.

Salt

Helps to cope with fogging and common table salt. It is sufficient to rinse the window with a saline solution at the rate of about 35 grams of salt per 2 liters of water. The disadvantage of this product is that white streaks from salt may remain on the glass. In this case, you need to make the solution less saturated by adding water to it, and wipe the glass again.

Glycerol

Glycerin must be diluted with alcohol or vodka and applied to the glass, then carefully polished with a cotton cloth. For 100 ml of alcohol or vodka, it is enough to add 10 ml. The glycerin will create a thin film on the glass that protects it from condensation. Alcohol or vodka will make the glycerin less sticky.

Baby shampoo

Manufacturers also add glycerin to this hair wash to make it softer. It is enough to dissolve a few teaspoons of shampoo in water and wash the glass, and your windows will be protected from fogging for several weeks.

Potatoes

The glasses, washed clean, must be wiped dry, and then rubbed with a potato tuber, cut in half. The starch in potatoes will create a protective film that prevents moisture from collecting.

Newspaper

An old way, preserved from Soviet times, when windows were always washed with newspapers. The newspaper absorbs moisture very well and the windows stay clean for a long time.

Condensation is caused by insufficient ventilation. But it is not always possible to constantly open the window or leave the window on micro-ventilation. Therefore, modern windows are already produced with built-in self-ventilators. These are the holes in the window profile that ensure proper air circulation in the house.

If you have installed windows without a built-in self-ventilator, then this problem can be solved by installing a ventilation valve in the window profile or in the wall under the windowsill. This inexpensive service will help you forget about the fogging problem forever.
