Introduction
Winter brings cozy vibes, hot drinks, and unfortunately—for many homeowners—foggy windows. If you have plastic (PVC or vinyl) windows and are tired of waking up to condensation clinging to the glass every morning, you’re not alone. Moisture buildup doesn’t just look bad—it can lead to mold and damage over time. But here's the good news: I’ve found a simple, fast trick that keeps my plastic windows bone-dry all season long. It only takes three minutes, and the results are impressive.
Ingredients:
Yes, you read that right—we’re calling them ingredients, because this DIY trick feels like magic in a bottle.
1 cup of white vinegar
1 cup of distilled water
A few drops of dish soap (optional, for extra cleaning power)
Microfiber cloth or paper towels
A spray bottle
Instructions:
Mix the Solution:
Combine equal parts white vinegar and distilled water in a spray bottle. Add 2–3 drops of dish soap if you want a cleaner finish. Shake gently to combine.
Apply to the Windows:
Spray the solution directly onto the inside surface of your windows, especially along the lower half where condensation tends to collect.
Wipe It Down:
Using a microfiber cloth or paper towel, wipe the window thoroughly. Focus on the edges and corners where moisture loves to hide.
Bonus Tip – Airflow Check:
After cleaning, crack the window open for a minute or two to let any trapped humidity escape. You’ll notice a big difference the next morning.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Storage: Store your vinegar-water solution in a labeled spray bottle at room temperature. It will stay effective for months.
Use Frequency: Use every 2–3 days during cold, damp spells or daily if your home has high humidity.
Extra Tip: Place a small bowl of baking soda or silica gel near your window sills to further absorb moisture in the air.
