Window Condensation:
Condensation will occur whenever the window surface is cool enough to allow moisture in the air to condense on it, which is why some condensation can be expected in the winter - condensation should be controlled as much as possible since it can damage the window's components, cause the wood to rot and saturate the wall insulation reducing its effectiveness.
(An example of condensation: A glass of ice water sweats because the warm air that surrounds the glass meets the cold surface and causes....you guessed it, Condensation)
Moisture on the inside of the storm window (or outside pane).
Indicates that the prime window is allowing air and moisture to leak out to the storm window where it condenses. Stopping these air leaks with caulk and weather stripping will stop the condensation and ultimately save your window. It is also important to understand that too little humidity is bad for your house. Manufacturers claiming that low humidity (15 percent) is best for windows may be covering for a poor quality product. Good windows should not have excessive condensation at normal humidity levels (30 percent to 40 percent).
Moisture on the inside of a window pane:
This is a sign that airborne water is trapped in the house due to poor air circulation and exchange.
Moisture between single pane windows and exterior storms:
Storm window frames are made with a breathing hole that permits condensation to escape. These breathing holes often become plugged or puttied shut over time. When this happens, moist air becomes trapped and condensation appears. To fix the problem, unplug the holes.
Hope this Helps!

To kill mold i take advantage of bleach, when you consider that is on the window sill in case you do not fix this problem promptly the mission is going to worsen. the purely answer that i'm able to imagine of, is for you get rid of the mold, open the window to allow some air are available once you took a bath and turn the fan on at the same time as you're taking a bathtub or bathe. at the same time as the timber is dry ,paint the window sill , and each and each and every time that you wash be particular you take advantage of an previous rag to wipe down the sill .

Moisture! Check the silicone seals around the windows. the roof. Water can also get into walls from a roof in need of repair.

Moisture on the glass will cause it. If you have an older furnace, have the exchanger checked for cracks. A cracked exchanger can be fatal. One of the signs of a cracked exchanger is moisture on the windows,
