Why does condensation appear on our windows?

Before reaching for the cloths and natural cleaning products, it’s important to understand what’s behind this phenomenon, which is more common than you might think. It usually starts with an overly humid indoor environment: hot showers, simmering pots and pans, laundry drying in the living room—all these things increase humidity and then cause condensation to form on the cold surface of the glass. Poorly insulated windows or insufficient heating can also contribute, making the glass even more susceptible to temperature fluctuations.
