What do you use to clear condensation off your windows?

[BringOnAutumn]

We have puddles every day that are half ice.

I'm dreaming of an amazing contraption that makes clearing it all a breeze and a pleasure… I imagine you're all doing to say towels and elbow grease! The bottom of the garden doors are the worst!

Going to say…

Window vac.

Window Squeejee and a towel. I don’t think I’ve spelt that right! Like this

Window vac

Window vac makes it a one minute job and removes the water from the environment.

Oooooh what is this window vac you speak of??! Do you have links?

The karcher one is crap. In a previous home I bought one and it wasn’t very good so I bough a recommended cheaper one and it wa a fantastic.

It was an earlier model of this

I just use microfibre cloths

I recently got a Karcher window vac- it’s life changing and I wouldn’t be without it now 😀

I just use a cloth but I’m contemplating getting one of these because I’ve seen a demo and they soak up an amazing amount

Our Karcher one works a treat

It was a towel but I realised I was just moving the moisture from windows to a damp towel on a radiator! Just ordered a window vac - the screwfix ones have good reviews and are half the price of karcher.

Window vac

A shower squeegee thing with the window open- all the condensation runs onto the floor outside- it takes like 30seconds

Kitchen towel or loo roll. Needs to be absorbent to get rid of the water, and then goes in the compost bin.
I tried a sponge once but left too much moisture behind.

Mine is Karcher and brilliant. We have massive sash windows. I couldn't be without it.

I had never heard of the screwfix one - definitely ordering, because I had just been using a towel.

I could use it on the problem wall in the bathroom too…

Sorry, I’d never heard of a WINDOW VAC. Going to get the screwfix one.

Omg! So much condensation this morning in our bedroom, never seen anything like it. I can’t deal with the noise of the Karcher first thing, I’ve just added super absorbent sponge cloth to Sainsburysbasket.. £1.30. Hope it’s good.

Having spent ages thinking a window vac was a stupid idea and why not just use a cloth, I’ve now got one and I’m amazed at (a) how much water is in the tank when I’ve done one window and (b) how much warmer the house feels with a daily whip around. Ours is Karcher but I suspect my husband bought that brand because he didn’t realise you could get cheaper versions.

I have this, very good. Makes mincemeat of the job. £65 though? I paid £30 direct from Vileda.

When we had windows like that I used a window vac, before that it was dreadful but I think it helped clear the air of excess moisture too as windows gradually got a bit better over time

In my local diy shop, they have the karcher wv6 and an Electrolux s7 for the same price and similar reviews. Does anyone have experience of either? Is the karcher just a vacuum? The electrolux has pictures of window cleaning as well (or maybe they both do the same…?)

This morning, I used a pair of pants from the wash basket. Luckily my pants have quite a bit of material to them and are cotton. Did the job very well...
