Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?

Interesting product! Only catch I see is that if applied now the risk of trapping moisture between the glass and the plastic is high. Leading to condensation you can’t remove/dry.

On top of that the window is a 3 pane glass. Pretty much top notch. Don’t think the plastic wrap could solve the problem. I’ll sure try it in my cabin tho!

If the window is triple paned and still getting condensation regularly maybe the seal is bad on the window?

Or maybe there is too much humidity? Sometimes our kitchen windows do this in the winter when we cook a lot.

The second one. A bad seal will manifest differently and in another part of the window (where the windows itself meet the frame

Not sure if they gave a whole home humidifier but if they do, turning that down could help too. But it's a balance of personal comfort and condensation then.
