The windows are wet every morning
- Where I am
- Water runs down the glass and pools on the sill.
- Where I want to be
- Dry windows and no musty smell.
- What's in the way
- Warm, damp air meets cold glass.
Try this first, free: Wipe the glass dry each morning with a cloth and crack the window open for ten minutes.
The fix
- Wipe the glass and the sill dry each day. Water left on the frame can mark it.
- Run the extractor fan when cooking or showering, and keep lids on pans.
- Dry clothes outside the bedroom if you can.
- Put a small moisture absorber on the sill, and empty it when it fills.
What this won't fully fix: These steps cut the water on the glass. They won't help if the real cause is a leak or poor insulation.
Safety first: If you see black mold spreading on walls or around the window, tell the landlord in writing with a photo.
