Hi all, After nearly 15 years of living here, we have moved into a very humid home. I bought a thermometer and each room usually has a 65 - 69% humidity rating. My husband and I both hate using the radiators/heating unless necessary, as we have allergies and asthma and it can worsen those conditions. Because of this, we also like to have fresh air, so we regularly open the windows. I know this can be both good and bad for humidity/mold growth. We spotted some mold in both of our bathrooms soon after cleaning and I have realized this will be a home wide issue unless we figure this out. There seems to be a science to humidity and preventing mold that I am not fully aware of - could you kindly offer any suggestions? Will a dehumidifier help? (Our home is 150m2.) Does this make asthma and allergies worse like a heater does? We have 3 HEPA filters already… We of course open the window after showering and keep the door closed so the steam does not spread throughout the place. Many thanks! submitted by /u/CaughtALiteSneez
