The £15 Amazon buy works ‘wonders’ at keeping your home dry and moisture-free, and it’s a one-time purchase
THOUGH we have been avoiding it all winter, many of us will be turning on the heating this week as snow blankets the UK.
Whilst you might not be able to stop sky-high bills, there is a low-cost way to get rid of extra humidity and reduce the risk of mould in your home.
As temperatures plunge and you reach for the thermostat, there can often be a horrible side effect: condensation.
These unsightly streaming windows are caused when hot, moist air collides with cold surfaces in your home with droplets forming.
It might be annoying to clean every morning, but this extra water can have some serious health consequences if left untreated.
Damp in your home can easily become black mould, with the NHS warning Brits that it can lead to serious health issues, such as: respiratory infections, allergies and asthma.

Before you rush out in the cold to buy more bleach though, there is an easier way to stop the extra water collecting in your home.

Unlike expensive dehumidifiers, the Bostik Breathe has special tablets that absorb any lingering moisture around your home and is still small enough to fit on most window sills.
In fact, this powerful product can absorb up to 33% more than other similar devices and can even has a 1.2L tank to trap water in.
It's even eco-friendly, as the Bostik Breathe has been designed from recycled plastic and has replaceable tablets that only need changing every four months - according to manfuactuers.
For those that weren't already sold, you can find this nifty gadget on Amazon for just £15 - with everything you need already included.
Just unwrap and go, it is literally that simple.
Shoppers have already been raving about the Bostik product on Amazon, with the item receiving an impressive four stars online.
One user even wrote: "I needed a humidifier for one room that’s quite small and I didn’t have the room for a stand alone electrical item."
They added: "I brought three of these for the window sill and they have done wonders. No more condensation. Highly recommend."
Others had similarly positive praise, although it varied how long the tablets would last in some homes.
Another explained: "My basement closet felt kind of damp so I stuck one of these in here and was really surprised how much water it collected in 3 weeks."
Their review then read: "Refills are not very expensive so I replace what in there every three weeks."
