What are some ways to cut down condensation inside windows without using a dehumidifier?

Question

I get lots of condensation inside on my windows. After wiping them dry, an hour later they are wet. I don't want to dry the air out in my house, so what are ways to keep the condensation off the windows without using the dehumidifier?

I don't use humidifiers in my house and I use the exhaust fans in the kitchen and bath when I cook or shower.

Answer 1

If curtains are letting hardly any air to circulate, then moisture may appear. I Have that problem and so in the morning I open the curtains.
You do not want a build up of moisture because mold may form.
Any warm air from inside, like when cooking in the kitchen,will turn to condesation once it hits the cold windows.

Answer 2

Either wait until a dry day and then open the windows with the heater on full (full heat and full fan) which will help force some of the damp air out of the car, but it's likely you have a leak somewhere. If you have a sunroof then the most likely place is that seal, or if the car is old it could be a window seal. There are also drain nozzles in the engine bay (kind of look like elephant trunks) which can get jammed full with leaves and so tey might need cleaning out. Other than that, as said, stick the A/C on if you have it, and let that dry things out.

Answer 3

Try running your fan in the bathroom longer, until all the water in your shower is gone. We leave ours running all night. If that does not help you might need to run a dehumidifier, it sounds like you have a lot of water in the air.

Answer 4

insulate and caulk will help and how much moisture are you adding to the house? eg. shower,humidifiers,cooking.
