About this deal

Seal the rubber gasket between the tank and the bowl with a waterproof silicone caulking compound. Make sure you clean off all dirt, dust, and mildew from surfaces before applying the caulking. One way to prevent condensation is by using a bathroom dehumidifier. They're extremely cheap compared to a whole house dehumidifier and go a long way in getting rid of humid air in the bathroom. For a more permanent and sustainable fix, Henkenius suggests installing an anti-sweat valve in the water-supply line leading to the toilet. And what will that do? Per Henekenius:

If you suspect that any of these is the cause of your wet toilet cistern, you should consult a plumber to have it repaired. Can sweating pipes cause mold? Although it may seem that it is still helping, don’t open the windows if you notice humidity outside. Insulate your toilet tank Doing this means the toilet tank will only hold water for 1 or 2 minutes which is not enough for condensation to occur. Although a small amount of water will still be left at the bottom of the tank, most water will be removed.

Avoiding Condensation on Cold Water Pipes

You could heat your tank from the outside instead of covering it with a liner. You can wrap your cistern with a cover for the tank or another piece of fabric. This is a great choice of material as it absorbs any condensation. It is important to wash the tank at least once per week as mildew can form. Install an Anti-Sweat Valve
