Dehumidifier on overnight, and ventilation in the morning.

Whatever you do, remember that the moisture will still exist and will condense in the next coldest spot, like behind furniture against external walls.

A window vac in the morning

Window vac. Nothing else works like it. You can get cheaper versions than the Karcher. Otherwise you dry it with a cloth, then have to dry that cloth putting moisture back in.

The moisture traps are useful for corners but in addition to rather than instead of a vac..

You also need to think about ways to reduce moisture content. For example using a squgee after a shower helps it to dry much more quickly. Putting lids on pans etc. Making sure bathroom door is kept shut after a shower with the window open.

It's the basics but they do make a difference.

As previously mentioned, get yourself a good sized dehumidifier. When you get it, it will probably fill up really quickly but should ultimately stabilise at a specific amount. Leave it on all the time - most now have an auto setting which detects the moisture in the air and works at the appropriate level.

Bonus is they are great for drying laundry too.

What kind of window is it, single glazed or double glazed ?
