A SAVVY shopper has shared the bargain buy she uses to stop condensation.
Natasha Leavy took to social media to share her mould and condensation busting hack which costs just 59p.
Condensation often happens in winter and may not seem like a serious problem – but it can soon turn into one.
The NHS states if you have damp and mould in your home you’re more likely to have respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma.
Damp and mould can also affect the immune system.
Mould grows by producing tiny particles called spores – these are airborne and can spread quickly in your home.
Condensation forms when warm, moist air comes in contact with a cold surface, such as a window, which can lead to water droplets.
But the bargain hunter found a cheap buy to keep it away and shared it with the Facebook group, Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which boasts over 2.5 million members.
“Only 59p in Poundstretchers work really well in wardrobes. Great for winter,” Natasha wrote.
She shared an image of the buy which were hanging dehumidifiers that attract moisture and store it in the bag so that it doesn’t collect on clothes, windows or walls.
This stops clothes from smelling of damp and helps prevent mould.
While you will have to change them out every now and again – the bargain price made it ideal for winter months.
People were quick to take to the comments with their thoughts, while some said the bag had split on them, others praised the bargain buy and shared how they used them to prevent condensation.
One person wrote: “I use these on my curtain pole in the bedroom as well never had a problem with them.”
Another commented: “Put them in my downstairs loo in the winter.”
“Swear by these,” penned a third.
Mould is more likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, Product Development Scientist at Astonish revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mould is a common problem many people face during winter. It thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.
“That said, during the colder months most rooms in your home could be vulnerable to mould growing.
“This occurs primarily from condensation that builds up on your windows when you’ve got your radiators on.
“If you think about it, when windows and doors are closed, there’s not much chance for the air to circulate and the moisture to make a swift exit.
“This build up is what can cause dreaded mould to make an appearance, especially in bathrooms, as it creates that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.
“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.
“The key to tackle mould is to act fast.
“Try to come into as little contact with it as you can. So, grab your gloves, tie up your hair and get to work to remove any signs of mould as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.
“The first is keep it ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath. This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.
“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high. You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mould is the quicker you can treat it, the better. If you leave it, it will only get worse so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mould every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s No 1 Mould & Mildew Remover, that effectively removes mould and mildew stains almost instantly, with no scrubbing necessary.”
Meanwhile a fourth said: “My dad uses them in car to prevent condensation.”
“Our Poundstretcher closed. But I’ve got a multi pack bag the last time I was in there. I hang them on my clothes airers,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I use them every year, never split.”

LOOSE Women star Charlene White has told how she refused to board a flight after being split up from her two children.
Charlene, 44, revealed she became embroiled in a row with American Airlines staff and told them they were breaking the law during the recent flight.
Her revelation comes after TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp sparked a storm when she said she deliberately would sit apart from her children, aged seven and four at the time, on flights – going in business class with her partner, with her children in economy.
She said it would be a “waste of money” and “very spoiling” to pay the high ticket price for her children.
But Charlene, who shares Alfie and Florence with her partner Andy Woodfield, said sitting apart would be dangerous in the event of an accident.
Speaking to Alan Carr on his Life’s A Beach podcast, she said: “I’ve got no problem with complaining about stuff. I almost refused to get an American Airlines flight two months ago because they split me up from my kids, which is illegal.
“So then I reminded them of aviation law and said to them they sort it out or I’m not getting on the flight and they will have to put me on the next flight with my children.
“Don’t mess with me. You’re not allowed to be split up from your children because if something happens.”
She went on to point out the children would need a parent to help with their breathing equipment and lifejacket.
Charlene added: “If there’s an accident and the thing comes down, you can’t necessarily trust a stranger to do that for you so legally you have to sit with your children.
“And they were trying to tell me that’s not true, and I said ‘I think you’ll find it is’.”
However, according to research by the Which? consumer group this year, airlines can legally separate even the under-fives from their mum and dad, but it goes against Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) guidelines.
But there is no UK law insisting on seats together.
The CAA says: ‘Young children and infants who are accompanied by adults should ideally be seated in the same seat row as the adult. “Where this is not possible, children should be separated by no more than one seat row from accompanying adults.
“This is because the speed of an emergency evacuation may be affected by adults trying to reach their children.”
But Dai Whittingham, who was Chief Executive of the UK Flight Safety Committee for 12 years until this year, told Which? that separating passengers is at best unwise, and at worst fatal.
He said: “In an emergency situation anyone will try to get to their loved ones, even if it involves clambering over others, impeding the evacuation and putting lives at risk.”
He said any airline that intentionally splits travelling companions up is “putting its profits ahead of passenger safety”.
Airlines’ stated policies are that they will generally make sure children are kept near their parents – although there’s no guarantee it will be on the same row.
Which? found most budget airlines – who often charge to reserve a specified seat to ensure seats together – said they would probably sit children under 12 next to a parent for free, but if not, they endeavour to make sure they are either in the same row or one behind or in front.
But Ryanair has a “mandatory” rule that adults travelling with under 12s must be together, with the adult paying.
It said: ‘For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 must sit beside an accompanying adult, and infants (aged 8 days to 23 months inclusive) must sit on an accompanying adult’s lap. It is mandatory for an adult travelling with children under 12 (excl. infants) to reserve a seat.”
