HOUSEHOLDS across the UK could stop condensation on windows for less than £! with a savvy Aldi buy.
Condensation issues usually creep up as the winter months draw in, due to a combination of cold air outside and warm air inside leaving windows drenched – and marking the first signs of mould.

But while traditional solutions like dehumidifiers and disposable moisture absorbing strips do work, we have found one unconventional method which does the job for a fraction of the price.
Aldi shaving foam, priced at 95p, has worked out as the most effective way of stopping condensation on windows.
It’s a messy hack, but all you simply have to so is spray folds of the foam generously across the window pane and leave it overnight.
It worked a treat for our Fabulous writer Julie Cook, with the cheap method working better than a dehumidifier, and window strips.
She said: “When my hubby caught me spraying his shaving foam all over the windows he said: ‘What the heck are you doing?’
“I explained it was a hack I’d seen online that was rumoured to stop condensation better than any other product on the market.
“After raiding my husband’s toiletries and finding a 79p tin of Aldi’s shaving foam, I smeared a generous amount (possibly too much) evenly across the windows.
“I went to bed and when I woke up, I was gobsmacked.
“There was no condensation. Literally not a bead. The shaving foam had done its job. Apart from wiping away the remnants of the foam, I didn’t have to mop up a single drop of moisture.
“And costing less than £1 for a can – which would easily last a week or longer – it’s a condensation hack I can definitely get on board with.”
Shaving foam contains surfactants which alter the tension in glass and makes it harder for water droplets to form.
The method has grown increasingly popular in households across the UK, as the messy trick does the job effectively.
But households have been warned that the clever trick is not a long-term solution,
Homes that suffer from extensive condensation issues are advised to purchase a dehumidifier.
