And while mold removal can seem like an endless task and while you may not want to deal with it, it shouldn’t be ignored.

The NHS states that if you have damp and mold in your home, you are more likely to have breathing problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma.

Damp and mold can also damage the immune system.

Mold grows by producing small particles called spores. These float in the air and can spread quickly in your home.

Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a window, which can lead to water droplets.

Luckily, cleaning queen Lynsey Crombie has shared her best trick for keeping condensation and mold away.

Lynsey revealed that washing up liquid is the secret must-have purchase for keeping condensation at bay during the winter months.

Dish soap creates an invisible barrier on windows and mirrors, preventing water from building up.

Lynsey said: “Pop a little bit [of washing-up liquid] on a dry microfiber cloth and rub over the entire window.’

She assured that you won’t get stains because you use the smallest amount of detergent.

Lynsey explained: “This creates a barrier and prevents condensation. This is such a brilliant old-fashioned tip that works so well.”

You can buy Fairy washing up liquid for just £1 in Sainsbury’s.

This can also help you save money on your energy bills because you don’t have to use a dehumidifier to keep it under control.

Another good tip for keeping condensation at bay is to make sure the house is well ventilated, especially if you dry your clothes indoors without a dryer.

Cleaning Tips and Tips

Here are some tips to help you clean your home like a pro:

To ensure the house doesn’t get too humid, Lynsey recommends drying clothes on a clothes horse in a room “with good ventilation.”

Find the brightest room in the house so that your laundry dries quickly and place it in front of an open window to dry.

“Close the door of this room while the window is open,” Lynsey added.

Other ways condensation can creep into the home are through cooking and showering.

Be sure to open a window and use the ventilation fan to prevent buildup.
