How do you stop condensation?

[john]

Any suggestions to help stop condensation in the bathroom/kitchen?

Install an extractor fan in the window or fanlight window. If there is a good flow of air then you don,t need an electric one. They are good and do make a difference.

You can buy cheap plastic pots with holed lids. You fill the lids with a bag of crystals and they attract all the moisture in the room. I keep mine on the window sill and empty the pot as it fill up with water. They are really good and collect the condensation. It stops the water running down the window and making the sill wet all the time.

Install an air brick if there is an outside wall. A quick solution is a bowl half filled with salt, this will trap most of the condensation in a room. Good luck!

You can use washing soda crytals, which are extremely hygroscopic (attract water) and very cheap. You will however be left with a big lump of hardened washing soda!. Just use it to clean the bath with!
