    Humans produce a lot of moisture. Can you leave the bedroom door open to get some airflow?

    Cleaning the windows will reduce the amount of condensation on the window.

    Air is not circulating correctly

    Have you vents in the windows, window open during the day is a help but obviously closed at night

    Is it only one room

    Thanks for prompt replies
    Yes in four upstairs bedrooms, one person in each one
    Standard Munster over so no vents
    Don’t know really what to do next !

    Dehumidifier on 24/7 in the colder months. Windows open all the time in the warmer months.

    Have an issue here with mildew build up on the ceiling corners, same issue as you with the windows

    Leave bedroom doors open and plug in a dehumidifier on the landing upstairs

    You'll be surprised the amount of water it extracts from the air

    This only a short term fix tho

    You could look at installing a ductless mhrv

    This will solve your problem if you're house is under 1800 square feet , if not you'll need 2
