Shoppers flock to supermarket you’d never think of where Karcher mould-fighting gadget is £80 less
IF you’ve got a condensation problem on your windows you should tackle it fast before it leads to mould.
Excess moisture in our homes is a common problem this time of year but it can be easily solved if you have the right gadget.
The Karcher cordless window vac has long been the leading gadget for tackling excess window condensation.
Shoppers are heading to Farmfoods to get their hands on the gadget which has been slashed in price.
The Karcher effortlessly vacuums up moisture and is a quick and easy way to achieve clean, dry and streak-free surfaces around the home, perfect for tackling condensation too.
The silicone seal makes it easy to fit the Karcher into the corners of your windows to suck up every last drop.
The gadget usually comes with a spray bottle so you can spray your window with a cleaning solution before you put your gadget to work.
However, the powerful gadget usually comes with a hefty price tag.
Older versions of the gadget usually go for around £45 – £70 but some of the new models go up to up £120.
But shoppers have noticed that Farmfood has a great deal on the Karcher with the price slashed to just £29.99.
One happy shopper decided to share the news on Facebook in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
They said: “Thanks to the person who posted about these a wee while back.”
“£29.99 in Farmfoods they’re normally £80 on [the Karcher website.]”
One user responded saying: “Need to go back to Farmfoods to find this.”
Another said: “I got min last time they had them. Wouldn’t be without it now.”
“Love mine,” said someone else.
Farmfoods doesn’t do online delivery so if you want to get your hands on this you will need to head to your local store.
Farmfoods has a store finder tool that you can use to locate your nearest store.
You may have to search several branches to find one and prices may vary from store to store.

Cheaper ways to tackle the problem
It is possible to simply wipe away condensation anytime it appears on your windows.
You’ll want to make sure you have a decent window cleaner and a microfibre cloth.
One of the easiest ways to avoid getting mould is to open your windows every day to let fresh air in and keep doors between rooms open.
Ensuring that air continuously circulates through your home will reduce condensation so the mould cannot grow.
You should also open cupboard doors regularly to allow fresh air in to make sure there’s no mould growing inside.
Other things that can help include not leaving your clothes to dry on radiators, and always cooking with ventilation.
Another option for getting rid of condensation and mould is a dehumidifier.
These work by work by sucking extra moisture out of the air some are electric so will cost you to run but others won’t.
Tesco has got one for £1 and Asda has them for £1.50.
Lidl has a great dehumidifier that’s going for £44.99 and it can help fight mould and condensation.
What to do in extreme cases of mould and damp
In extreme cases of damp and mould, it’s best to keep the windows open to allow airflow, consider using an anti-mould treatment to tackle the problem.
You can seek out an expert and if you are renting speak to your landlord about fixing the issue.
