My Plastic Windows Don’t Get Wet in Winter: I’ll Share How to Get Rid of Condensation in 3 Minutes (My Useful Tips)

Every winter, millions of people wake up to the same frustrating sight: windows soaked with condensation. The glass fogs up, water pools on the sill, and over time, that moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and even damage to window frames and walls.

But here’s the good news: my plastic windows no longer get wet in winter—and today, I’m sharing exactly how I fixed the problem in just a few minutes a day. No expensive equipment. No major renovations. Just simple, effective tips that actually work.


First, Why Does Condensation Happen?

Condensation forms when warm, moist indoor air hits a cold window surface, causing the moisture to turn into water droplets. It’s most common in winter because we keep windows shut tight, humidity rises indoors, and temperatures outside drop.

Plastic (PVC) windows are well-sealed and energy-efficient—but that also means less natural airflow, which can trap humidity inside.


How I Got Rid of Window Condensation in 3 Minutes a Day

Here are the fast and simple methods I use to keep my plastic windows completely dry—even on freezing mornings:


✅ 1. Open Windows Briefly Each Morning (Yes, Even in Winter)

I open my windows wide for 2–3 minutes every morning—even when it’s cold outside. This quick “air shock” exchanges warm, humid air inside for dry, cold air outside.

  • It’s fast: takes just a few minutes
  • Doesn’t cool down walls or furniture
  • Immediately drops humidity levels

Tip: Open opposite windows (cross-ventilation) for maximum airflow. You’ll feel the difference instantly.


✅ 2. Wipe Down Windows as Needed (Takes Seconds)

If any condensation does appear, I simply wipe it away immediately with a microfiber cloth or a window squeegee.

  • Prevents water from pooling or damaging sills
  • Helps you monitor where moisture builds up most

Keep a cloth near the window—it becomes a habit in no time.


✅ 3. Use Salt or Baking Soda on the Window Sill (Natural Moisture Absorber)

Here’s a DIY trick that works surprisingly well:
Place a small bowl of salt or baking soda on the windowsill.

  • Both absorb moisture from the air
  • They’re natural, cheap, and easy to replace
  • No electricity or maintenance needed

Change it out weekly or when it starts to clump.
