CRANKING your heating up during cold spells may feel nice and cosy but it can also lead to an issue in your home.
Condensation is likely to form on your windows when there are high humidity levels in your home.
One Reddit user revealed the budget buy she swears by for tackling condensation.
The homeowner commented under a post asking for advice on how to eradicate the issue.
She shared her personal success story, which transformed her windows without breaking the budget.
She explained: “I have 40% humidity and perfectly working double glazing and [condensation build up] still happens on very cold nights.”
The Reddit user tried a DIY hack to soak up the unwanted moisture on her windows.
She said: “Overnight, I just put some strips of kitchen roll along the horizontal parts of the frame and the condensation that forms gets drawn in to the paper and re-evaporated.”
For a more permanent solution, she suggested an Amazon buy that “looks less tacky.”
She recommended the £9.99 FuKuEn Condensation Absorber Tape Strips.
These subtle strips can be easily camouflaged against your window frames.
They are available in white, brown, and grey.

The strips are reusable and do not need to be torn off and have the moisture squeezed out.
There is no residual glue left behind when these strips are removed from your window.
They are easy to use with a free cutting design.
The absorbent strips are designed for use on glass windows, toilet tanks, and air fan blades.
“Stick one on and no other operation is required to keep your windowsills dry throughout the winter,” manufacturers said.
Made with high-density non-woven suede, the strips are designed for fast absorption speed.
They measure less than half a centimetre in size, ensuring they can be subtly applied to your window.
According to manufacturers, the product has a “large water storage capacity.”
They can absorb 130 grams of condensed water per metre of strip.
