We're still waiting for the sun to come out and kickstart the warmer months of the year, and as the temperature outside is much colder than inside our homes, many of us are still facing issues with condensation on our windows.
If you have old windows like I do, you probably know the feeling of waking up almost every morning to a thin layer of water that you must clean, because if you leave it you'll be faced with damp - and potentially the dreaded mould.
The winter months (and particularly cold Marches) often see me break out my squeegee and a towel to meticulously push the water off my bedroom window.
But the process is a boring one I'd rather not have to do at 7am, so when we reported that fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch had discovered a £1 product that supposedly banishes condensation, I was all too eager to try it myself.
The product in question is a disposable dehumidifier. It works by drawing moisture out of the air and collecting it in a tray at the bottom, and once filled with water, the product will need to be thrown away.
I'm no stranger to dehumidifiers, as living and working from a room that suffers from a damp problem, I've used my fair share before, but was eager to see whether placing one directly on my windowsill would alleviate my condensation woes.
Disposable dehumidifiers can be purchased for as little as £1 from places such as Poundland, but a thorough Google search tells me most places - including Wilko and B&M - sell theirs for around £1.50. The exact one I tested was actually bought from Pound Stretcher for the slightly pricier cost of £1.75.
To properly test the product, I left it on my windowsill for almost three weeks, and pretty much just let it do its thing.
In the interest of fairness, I didn't touch my squeegee once, regardless of any condensation that might have been present, and the results were ... underwhelming.
On several days of the last two and a bit weeks, I've thrown back my curtains to find my window bone dry and had thought initially that I'd stumbled across the greatest condensation buster known to mankind.
But that feeling was quickly replaced with one of annoyance, as the majority of the days were as watery as they would be without the dehumidifier, and all I could do was let it sit there.
Each day, the condensation would be gone by the afternoon, but it was difficult to tell whether it had been absorbed by the dehumidifier, or if it had simply evaporated and been soaked up by my walls and curtains - which is not the ideal scenario.
And to top it all off, by the end of my test, not a single drop of water could be found in the tray at the bottom. The white balls at the top of the dehumidifier had condensed and stuck together, and a few excess trickles of water could be seen in between the balls, but it seemed the product hadn't collected enough to soak through to the bottom.
When Mrs Hinch fans recommended a dehumidifier, many of them said it was "excellent" and "the only thing that worked" for getting rid of their condensation problem.
But would I suggest using a cheap disposable one after my test? Not at all.
You can buy electric dehumidifiers that work better when it comes to sucking moisture out of the air, but although they'll be more effective than the disposable version, they're costly to buy and will put additional strain on your energy bills.
If electric ones are out of your budget, there are also bigger and better dehumidifiers than the cheap disposable ones, such as the UniBond Aero Moisture Absorber, which I currently use in my bedroom.
The UniBond product costs around £13 to buy and works by utilising moisture absorbers that look like huge dishwasher tablets. The absorbers eventually dissolve, but the unit itself is refillable, with extra absorbers costing around £6 for two.
