Re: A question about dehumidifiers

I think he's identified the cause:

We actually had the same battle last year. Shower & hottub off the master bedroom, with no bathroom fan. Got very little use with the previous owners, but it gets 2 showers a day with us, and we had mildew on ceiling & windows. Problem went away as soon as we put in a bathroom fan.

One suggestion: Where this is off your bedroom, get a top-end fan. We went through 3 before we found one that was quiet enough. Going by advertised "sones" alone is deceiving, some are higher pitched than others. In the end I went to my neighbor's house, asked if I could listen to his bathroom fan, then went out and bought the same one.
