Window Vacs for condensation

[Kenj]

 
This part of your text rang a bell with me. My beloved wife looks for bargains all the time. I try to tell her that a penny spent wisely is a good investment.  However, as an example, I asked her to get me some Blue tack and she got a pack from the local El Cheapo shop...... absolutely useless and ended up in the bin, replaced by some very satisfactory real stuff that works as it is supposed to. Grrr!

I could go on but I guess you understand what I am saying.

Wow, I could get into trouble if she sees this 

Hmmmm, just as well I like you.

It's not terribly useful for a flatting situation but as a homeowner I put some effort into venting the moisture out of my house by adding an extractor fan to the bathroom, a rangehood to the kitchen, venting the dryer outside, and I also have double glazing. The net effect is I don't get much moisture on my windows at all and don't bother wiping it when I do get some. Windows have their own drain system anyway, just make sure the drain holes aren't clogged up.

You may not want to do this in winter but you can get a lot of the benefit by opening a window at opposite sides of the building for 10-15 min a day and letting the air circulate. Or running a dehumidifier but I never liked them all that much.

Sorry if it's not a helpful comment, it just seems like wiping up the water is treating a symptom and not addressing the cause to me.

 I think it is because me'n the cat breathe all night.

Keep that going!!
