The method could in fact cause serious damage to your home and be bad for your health
A plumbing expert has issued a warning to anyone who has already used or is planning on using a viral TikTok 'hack' that is said to help stop condensation. Evan, fromBathroom Supastore, is urging people to avoid the method shown in viral videos 'right away' as it could cause serious damage to your home and be bad for your health.
"While the videos clearly show that they are condensation free, what they don't show is that the moisture that would have formed on those windows has now gone elsewhere," he said. By applying washing up liquid to windows, the moisture that would have collected on them could instead end up soaking into porous surfaces, like walls, ceilings and window frames, increasing risk of mould in your home.
"Failed double glazing can then cause moisture to develop in between your window pains causing the glass to fog up and mould to develop," he said. "Using washing up liquid to prevent condensation can make the situation a whole lot worse.
