I tried 4 ways to stop condensation forming on my windows in the cold – 1 was a clear winner

An old style wooden framed window, open, with a view of a cottage and a winter leafless tree. Brown hedges.

There are many things I love about the colder months of the year, but condensation on the windows isn't one of them. It's an annual battle I have to face, and every year it results in horrible mold creeping around my windows.

I decided to try out four different methods to combat condensation, which are all cheap and easy to execute to see how effective they were, including wiping it away, opening windows and even lighting a candle on the windowsill.
