I've moved into a new place and my room has concrete walls. It was fine for the first few weeks but now that it's gotten a bit colder it's all fallen apart. I wake up in the morning and it's MOIST. The walls are visibly wet. It's started to grow mold, which I've been scrubbing off with vinegar but it just comes back in greater numbers.
The problem is mostly limited to my room, which is about 4.5 by 2 meters, with floorboards luckily. Even leaving the window open a bit seems to only help slightly.
Has anyone on here dealt with a similar issue? From research it seems like a dehumidifier is my best bet, but not sure how effective the cheaper ones are? Especially in colder weather. I know theres a few people on here from Ballarat and other cold wastelands who might have faced the same demons... Can anyone shed some light on whether it is worthwhile getting the dehumidifier?
