Aldi is selling an ‘amazing’ tool that can get rid of mould and condensation – it’s £25 cheaper than the top-brand
THIS time of year many of us struggle to keep up with the moisture build-up that floods our homes.
More often than not this issue presents itself as condensation on our windows or mould in surrounding areas.
But this problem can be easily fixed if you have the right gadget.
Aldi has released an 'amazing' new electric cleaning tool that can help you swipe away any condensation in seconds.
Aldi’s Electric Window Cleaner £19.99 gets windows, mirrors and smooth surfaces gleaming within minutes thanks to its extra-wide rubber lip with an integrated suction nozzle.
The gadget is a motorized suction-squeegee and works by sucking the window dry after a cleaning solution is applied.

Luckily the Aldi window cleaner comes with two microfibre cloths and a spray bottle so you'll have everything you need.
It has up to 45 minutes of run time on its rechargeable battery and uses an LED light to indicate when your cleaner needs charging.
The Aldi electric window cleaner has been compared to Karcher’s window vacuum which retailer for at least £40 in most stores.
Prices for the Karcher start at £44.99 on the Curry’s website but if you buy it direct from the Karcher site you will need to fork out at least £54.99.
If you’re looking to get the Aldi window cleaner you will need to head in-store but it will only be available from February 15.
You can use the Aldi store locator tool to find your nearest store.
It is always worth shopping around as you might be able to get a better deal elsewhere.

Another option for getting rid of condensation and mould is a dehumidifier.
These work by work by sucking extra moisture out of the air some are eclectic so will cost you to run but others won't.
Tesco has got one for £1 and customers are loving them.
Lidl has a great dehumidifier that's going for £44.99 and it can help fight mould and condensation
Cheaper ways to tackle the problem
It is possible to simply wipe away condensation anytime it appears on your windows.
You'll want to make sure you have a decent window cleaner and a microfibre cloth.
One of the easiest ways to avoid getting mould is to open your windows every day to let fresh air in and keep doors between rooms open.
Ensuring that air continuously circulates through your home will reduce condensation so the mould cannot grow.
You should also open cupboard doors regularly to allow fresh air in to make sure there's no mould growing inside.
Other things that can help include not leaving your clothes to dry on radiators, and always cooking with ventilation.
In extreme cases of damp and mould, it’s best to keep the windows open to allow airflow, consider using an anti-mould treatment to tackle the problem.
You can seek out an expert and if you are renting speak to your landlord about fixing the issue.
