A mum said she has rid condensation and damp from forming in her entire home, and her hack costs £3.
Natasha Murfin, 35, places table salt in paper cups to leave on her windowsills overnight and swears it stops condensation and damp appearing. She picked up the trick from her grandparents, who owned a static caravan, and used to leave tubs of salt in them over winter to prevent damp collecting.
Natasha's neighbour reminded her of the old tip and the mum-of-one put it to the test last week. The mum-of-one, from West Lothian, said: "I can't afford a dehumidifier in every room so I thought, even if it doesn't work, it's about £3, I may as well give it a go."
