During the winter season, this moisture in the windows always coming up. How to prevent this and remove?
Hi @japbrizuela,
What you're seeing is condensation, which is quite common during winter. It happens when warm, moisture-laden air inside your home comes into contact with the cold surface of the window glass, causing the moisture in the air to condense into water droplets.
To help reduce condensation, you can:
You might also find these guides helpful: How to control moisture in your home and How to control mould in your home. We also have a Best Advice article on How do you stop window condensation?
They explain the common causes of excess moisture and provide practical tips to help keep your home drier and reduce the risk of mould.

Hi @MitchellMc ,
Thank you for response and advised.
I wiped and dried the windows during the day. Early morning, the condensation happened agaim. Do I need to open the window slightly open overnight? It happened for all the windows. In the living, dining room and all the bedrooms windows. It is not just the bathroom windows. Do you think these different kinds of moisture absorbers products help the build up of condensation? Will place it near the windows.
Yes, those moisture absorber products will help reduce the amount of moisture in the air, but they're generally not as effective as improving ventilation.
For instance, I have terrible condensation issues on my bedroom windows during winter. We leave one of the bedroom windows slightly open overnight, and it makes a significant difference in preventing condensation from building up by the morning.
Since you're seeing condensation on all the windows throughout the house, it suggests the overall humidity level inside the home is quite high. Cracking a window open slightly in the affected rooms overnight, if it's practical and safe to do so, is likely to be more effective than relying on moisture absorbers alone. Using the absorbers in combination with better ventilation can certainly help, particularly in rooms where it's difficult to open a window.
It is a bit of a balancing act during winter, though. You want enough fresh air coming into the home to reduce humidity and prevent condensation, but not so much that you're losing all the warmth you've worked to keep inside. Even opening a window just a small amount can often provide enough airflow to make a noticeable difference without making the room uncomfortably cold.
If the problem persists, it may also be worth looking at other sources of indoor moisture, such as drying clothes indoors, unflued gas heaters, or inadequate ventilation when cooking and showering.
Great advised.
I will do different options on this.
Tha k you so much!
