A MUM has revealed a life-changing hack to stop condensation and damp forming in your entire home – and it costs just £3.
Natasha Murfin, 35, places table salt in paper cups to leave on her windowsills overnight – and swears it stops condensation and damp appearing.
She picked up the trick from her grandparents who owned static caravan used to leave tubs of salt in them over winter to prevent damp collecting.
Natasha's neighbour reminded her of the old tip and the mum-of-one put it to the test last week.
Mum-of-one Natasha, a full-time mum, from West Lothian, Scotland, said: "I can't afford a dehumidifier in every room so I thought, even if it doesn't work, it's only about £3 – I may as well give it a go.
"It worked an absolute treat."
The nifty mum bought 1.5kg of cooking salt from Tesco for £1.75 and 15 paper cups for just £1.15.
"I put one cup per windowpane in every room in the house," she said.
"The windows used to drip with condensation, and we would have to wipe them every morning with a squeegee.
"Since using the salt trick, we haven't had to wipe them once.
"I only half fill the cups with salt, and I shake them every morning to check the salt isn't sticking together.
