Can you use a dehumidifier? It's the best way I know to take away dampness from a room!
a dehumidifier could help.
You could purchase a dehumidifier to remove any excess moisture. They can be set at whatever setting you require. There is a water tray which will need to be emptied. You will find the machine will run continually until you get the humidity down to at least 50-60. They are automatic and kick in whenever the humidity rises above your setting. You can use the water for your plants.
Thank's everyone great ideas. Ann
Thank You I'm going to try it.
