[tumbletray]

Hi guys

Is the water on the windows inside normal this time of year

Can I get rid of it

What is it

How do I clean it

My house is pretty new also

Thanks

It's condensation. You need to reduce the amount of moisture in the air, so don't things like using extractor fans when showering or cooking, don't dry clothes indoors without opening a window. If it's not freezing cold outside then open your windows for a while each day. If none of that works then you may need to get a dehumidifier.

it's called condensation, it's not unusual in new or older homes when the temperature conditions are just right.
wipe it up.
air circulation helps (run a fan for a few hours) don't pull the blinds full down (again air circulation).
look it up online loads of info.

There's a random "don't" in my comment, sorry...

So, do use an extractor fan when showering, cooking..

Thanks guys

Never expected to have it in a newer house, every other day when I shower the bathroom window is open all day but it's too cold, it's probably because I've been drying my clothes in a tent dryer I just bought

Is your house a recent new build? They throw them up so quickly now and it takes a long time for all the moisture in the building materials to evaporate so it can be that! Dehumidifier would help.

We moved into a new build in 1981. Yes I know, years ago! It had single glazed metal windows. We were snowed in that winter for a few days. The condensation was so bad and it was so cold that the windows had ice on the inside an inch thick at the bottom. When the heating came on in the morning we would hear a dripping sound as it melted! There were pools of water on the sills. Thank goodness we had central heating.
It has been very cold this week and we have new, double glazed in this house. But we have condensation too as it is so cold outside. Usually it is fine.
Get a squeegie or better still, a window vacuum and wipe them every morning and open the windows for about ten minutes every morning. It will be much better when the weather warms up.

I use a Karcher window vac to suck up most of it. I finish off with a cloth in any awkward bits where the Karcher won't fit.
We use the Karcher daily in the shower all year round.

I would also recommend a dehumidifier (Meaco are excellent).

I’ve just bought a window vac (from Screwfix). It’s amazing and works brilliantly on condensation.
