The fact that you have condensation on your widows is due to the moisture content in the air. None of the anti mist products work successfully, the cling film type double glazing isnt fool proof, moisture does get behind, then you have to take it down to clean it up.

The only real answer is a dehumidifier, I have two one in the kitchen and one leading to the bathroom, the big one in the kitchen is over 20 years old, holds 12 pints, and gets emptied every 10 days, without it the walls would be wet thro, you'd be surprised how much moisture come from cooking and washing, even burning gas, produces moisture. Also when the central heating is off, condensation starts as the rooms cool down.
You will also notice that the rooms feel warmer, when a dehumidifier removes the moist air.
