- 1). Run a dry squeegee over the window starting at the top and moving left to right. This will remove obvious moisture condensation that has built up on the surface of the glass.
- 2). Dry the air that comes in contact with the the interior surface of the window. This can be accomplished by running a dehumidifier or by placing open jars filled with chemicals that absorb moisture, such as silica gel, around the home.
- 3). Circulate the air inside your home. Stagnant and slow moving air has more time to become saturated and form moisture condensation on the window. You can improve circulation by running a fan. In addition, avoid closing drapes and other window treatments that prevent air flow near the surface of the window whenever possible.
- 4). Replace the glass in the insulated window unit with glass that has a higher condensation rating (CR). Condensation ratings are determined by the National Fenestration Rating Council, and indicate how good a glass pane is at preventing condensation.
- 5). Hire a professional. If moisture has accumulated in between the two panes of glass, the window seal has broken and you will need to either replace the glass or have a professional perform a procedure that involves cutting a hole in the glass and injecting a chemical cleaner.
