Humid air/ mould in the house, what do you do?

[JLeigh29]

Saw your other post too, so trying to address both in one...

Air conditioning dries out the air, but it's expensive to run. Can also dry out your skin and nasal passages so can aggravate skin/respiratory conditions. Humid air (not so much you grow mould!) is actually better than really dry air for many skin conditions/asthma etc.

Having said that, if the air is so humid you're growing mould, then I'd suggest opening doors and windows as much as you can and damp rid/hippo things to soak up excess damp. We lived in a 'toxic house' years ago that made me really ill... Mould growing on the walls and roof. No amount of scrubbing kills the spores, even if the marks disappear...it was in the wood, floors, carpets etc. We'd stay at my parents for the weekend and I could breathe again, my skin felt better too. Moving out was the best thing we ever did

It seems that the only resort is moving out if that's the case. For moulds as well, using clove oil solution is one recommendable I've heard of that aside from the use of dehumidifiers.
