I have a nice dehumidifier and it has been running since I drained all
of the water out. I am going to run it for the next couple of days.
So far I have no mold but its been less than 24 hours and I am not sure
how fast mold grows. What I can say is the dehumidifier is spitting
out water at a fairly good rate.



And mothballs. The benzene derivitive in mothballs that
drives off moths and small nimals and causes cancer in humans
also inhibits mold and mildew growth.
