there is the saying "everything is bigger in texas", and that generally can extend to the size of someone's house, height of ceilings etc in many cases. this means that while wiping all the windows daily might be an effective fix for a small to medium sized home or apartment, it could be a big hassle for a family home.

personally, my solution has always been either opening the place up briefly like you said, or a big honking dehumidifier that can hold a few gallons of water, so you only have to empty it out occasionally.
