Opt for double glazing
If drops of water roll off the inside of your windows and often fog up, this is a clear sign of moisture. With double glazing windows, you avoid excessive temperature fluctuations and limit condensation problems. A tip: install ventilation grilles on the new joinery so that the air can circulate.

Check the tightness
Since the bathroom is known for being the wettest room in the house, be sure to seal the seams around the tub, shower, and sink. Adding a heater can help dry out the air. Install a towel radiator and if this is not possible, there are small additional heaters that you turn on before washing and turn off fifteen minutes later.

Consider the dehumidifier
You can buy a dehumidifier commercially. You have the choice between a chemical or an electrical device.

The first works on the condensation principle. It contains a sodium chloride tablet or cartridge. This absorbs the moisture to convert it into water. Then simply empty the bin. An electric dehumidifier, on the other hand, sucks in the humid air contained in the room, dries it, cools it and then heats it to a temperature equivalent to that of the room in which it is located. The air comes out moisture-free.

Money
Watch the cabinets
When you open your cupboards, an unpleasant musty smell comes out. It’s probably due to the humidity. To vacuum it up, all you need to do is place a few pieces of charcoal in a box with a lid that has holes in it. A natural and effective method that doesn’t cost you much.

Also, make sure the furniture is a few inches away from the walls. When there is humidity, air must circulate to prevent mold from forming.
