MattG_Sydney Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Hey Abe, Try to clean your door with vinegar mixed with water and dry it. Dehumidifier is the way to go (I had to buy one myself due to black mould from constant rain here in Sydney). If you are looking to get one, don’t bother with small desktop units. Get a good size unit that has the capacity to fix your humidity. All the best. Edited October 13, 2022 by MattG_Sydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 the air movement from a fan reduce some of the condensation helps and it also stops you developing a thermocline where the room temp is hot up high and cooler down low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamgatt Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I had the same problem with my room too. Decent dehumidifier connected to the drain and a fan to circulate the air solved it for me. I actually couldn't believe how much water the dehumidifier was collecting, between 7 to 8 litres a day before I hooked it up to the drain. Also if you don't already, cover all tanks, drums, etc. If you have any uncovered it will contribute to the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
