Our bathrooms have no windows that open, so condensation builds quickly.  And that means mold.  I hadn't realized that I was perpetuating the mold by using bleach.  Straight vinegar from now on, hoping to mitigate it.  The kitchen window (03) hasn't been opened recently due to the cold.  The condensation left on the bathroom windows is between the double-panes and inaccessible.  Anyone have a solution for that?

ETA: Before/After on the last window is backward :-(

Instead of three windows, I did my windows over three consecutive days it's always nice to know that we prevent bigger problems by doing the small things

Edit:
Sorry for the missed photo!

The house we live in gets very cold in the winter and, sadly, some of the double glazing needs replacing. This morning, for the first time since the summer, I've had to wipe down the windows.

In a previous house we had a Karcher window vacuum that made this task very easy! This time it's a microfiber cloth and a towel.
