Eliminate home moisture in a minute with simple tricks

The heating season started several weeks ago. However, not everyone is using this option due to heating costs. If you've noticed increasing moisture in your home, it's time to act. To get rid of it, just learn a few clever tricks. One of them eliminates moisture in literally a minute.

Hugh, known as "Hugh Essentials," shared the trick for removing moisture from around the window on his TikTok profile. He demonstrated how to eliminate it in 55 seconds using silica gel. All it takes is placing a container with the gel right by the window seal and waiting a minute.

"This gel changes the game. It protects against mold and moisture," he stated.

Moreover, these containers are reusable. Once filled, you just need to put them in the microwave for six minutes to—as Hugh described—"completely reset" them.

Silica gel is not the only way to get rid of moisture—and not just from around the window. Here are some other methods:

1. Place a bowl of salt or silica-based cat litter in areas prone to moisture, as they absorb it excellently.
2. Create a homemade air dryer using a plastic container with a lid. Simply make holes in the lid, fill the container with silica gel or charcoal, and place it in humid areas.
3. Regularly wipe windows and other damp surfaces with a dry cloth.
4. Open windows or use exhaust fans during cooking and bathing.
5. Keep the lid on pots and pans while cooking to reduce the amount of steam released.
6. Uncover curtains and blinds during the day to let sunlight warm the windows and reduce condensation.
