'I tried five tricks to banish condensation and mould - the result surprised me'
We spend a fortune on topping up our many Aero 360 dehumidifiers which we have stationed onThey also aren’t that cheap - with the Aero 360 container itself costing around £9.74 and the four-packs of refill tablets £10.99 from Robert Dyas.You can see the water gathering up in the containers so you know they are doing their job.
Salt has the power to draw in moisture - and there’s plenty of internet folklore to suggest bowls of it around the house can dry out the air. But salt is not that expensive, at £1.70 for 500g from Tesco, so maybe using it in mould-prone corners of my home might not be a bad idea.Baking soda is also meant to suck in the damp - so I tried it out in the same way as salt, leaving bowls of it on my bedroom and bathroom windowsills.
I can’t believe they were as effective as an Aero 360 dehumidifier, as the socks I used were pretty thick, whereas the 360 container has lots of holes in it to give the tablets proper exposure to the air.
