Can Bubble Wrap be Used to Keep Rooms Warmer in Winter?

jam45 yeah that’s what I’m afraid of spraying the water and then the condensation will be so annoying! Having to wipe it dry!

It’s annoying when it’s winter season all windows will be full of condensation and if you don’t wipe it there’s puddles on windowsills and will cause mould too

kitty88uk This morning I used an Aldi 2 in 1 Squeegee (purchased from their "middle aisle" for £1.99 months ago) and the window looks fantastic. Don't forget an old tea towel or micro cloth to mop up the condensation.

jam45 nice to know thanks! And thanks for the tip too, I use old clothes that have been worn out with holes haha

kitty88uk I never thought of doing this! I usually give my old, clean "rags" to H&M for recycling.

jam45 haha yeah I did use some then changed to a cloth

At least they get recycled

jam45 we run a dehumidifier in winter. This stops condensation and worth every penny.

Pjran I see how much can they be? What else is it good for? Not sure if have room for one, are they big in size too? Thanks in advance for answering my questions

kitty88uk if you place your clothes near the dehumidifier then the moisture gets absorbed by it, so less condensation.

Pjran I see nice to know that’s thanks for sharing the information about this!! Really helpful to know!

Pjran I go to the launderette regardless of the weather (except on a boiling hot day) and pay £2 for a 12 minutes spin, removing the light weight clothing first and continue paying until the thicker items are BONE DRY.

jam45 fb.watch/olueb0x49i/ hope that works for you.

Jinky67 Blimey, you are plugging a Scottish company to me!!! 5 Minutes of wasting my time.

jam45 no, he's explaining about condensation and why it's not really a bad thing

Jinky67 Blimey again!! As if I didn't even know this. Free plugging from you. I have got lots of leaflets regarding condensation coming through my letter box, library, Citizen Advice each year.

Pjran ,yes we have our dehumidifier on when the windows of the conservatory are misted up,helps a lot,also use our Karcher to clean the windows..

martinlufc5637 not heard of one of those, what do they do and how much are they? Thanks for answering my questions

kitty88uk it's a window vac to clean windows, sucks water off and brilliant for condensation , easy to use, cost around £30/35

martinlufc5637

I use mine for the windows and I also use the vac to suck up the water off the tiles and shower door after my shower.

kitty88uk there is a deal on today for a one, Not a karcher though, £19.99 from Screwfix

martinlufc5637 very pricey for a squeegee that can suck water haha good to know about and thanks for sharing this

Sugarbabe yeah the walls are wet after taking a shower that I have to use a cloth to give it a wipe down and around the bath tub otherwise it will run downwards the water which I have been wiping dry too the floor tiles do this every damn night it’s annoying lol

martinlufc5637 I see thanks I’ve been using a micro fibre cloth to wipe clean the bath tub and walls of condensation and wring all the water out lol it’s a hassle doing this every night after having shower

kitty88uk you can clean the windows at the same time lol

Louise2018 I see never heard of that either lol thanks for sharing the information

Jinky67 oh really, it works? Do you have your radiators on too and with the bubble wrap it helps keep the warmth in room for few hours?

kitty88uk yep

kitty88uk Years ago, a British Gas engineer - repair or service department, told me not to put anything whatsoever on the radiators, including dry clothing.

I assume you get some of these tips from TikTok. Several newspapers have warned their readers not to follow 90% of these tips or advice. (They both dangerous and unnecessary).
