The £2.21 product to keep home and car windows free from condensation – and we bet you already have some stored away
WITH the weather growing colder with every passing day, condensation is back to haunt homeowners.
But now the experts have shared how a simple household product could be your winter saviour, and totally stop the water build-up residue from ruining your home and car windows.
While many have tried to eradicate the pesky problem – which in bad cases can lead to a mould or even rotting – by simply wiping away with a towel, others have pointed out that this is not enough.
Instead, the experts behind popular product WD-40 have shared how the trusty item helps fight the issue of condensation build-up with minimal effort.
They explained that while it’s known for stopping rust or grime from forming, it’s also great in keeping windows free from condensation.
And they said you’ll see the difference almost instantly after reaching for the product, which is available to buy on Amazon from just £2.21.
The WD-40 team went on to reveal how homeowners can “spray the entire surface with WD-40 Multi-Use Product and work it in with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.”
They also said that parts of the windows with the most stubborn stains as a result of the condensation build-up should be targeted first.
Once they have been scrubbed away, it’s time to move the cloth out to the outer edges of the window, all the way up to the frame.
Explaining the science behind the technique, the experts went on to say: “The edges of our windows can develop a build-up of dirt and grime over time as a result of condensation running down the glass and pooling in the corners.
“Not only does this look unsightly, but it can be harder to remove the longer you leave it, so it’s worth keeping on top of as soon as you see the build-up.”
They added that to reach the hardest to clean parts, which are usually situated in the corner of the windows, you can use the precision straw applicator, before wiping away with the cloth.
However, that’s not WD-40’s only hidden use over the colder months.
One social media user also recently lifted the lid on another secret thing that the cleaning product is known to fight against – stopping insects from entering your home.
“WD-40 is not what you think it is,” the video posted on TikTok profile @SoAlz316 began.
They then continued to go into the hidden meaning of the household product, as they told their 85k followers: “WD – water displacement, this is the 40th attempt.
“Now a lot of us use this as a lubricant, but it is not really a lubricant.
“It has lubricating-like properties, but mainly because it just dissolves the components around it – basically it’s a cleaner.
“Now, it does have a very practical use for those of you who are afraid of spiders and bugs.
“What you’ll do is spray this around your windowsill, or your door frame – any place where spiders or insects will get into your house, it’ll prevent them from entering your home.”
