What a dehumidifier does for Caton homes

Your Caton hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?
For a cold or unheated room, choose a compressor model rated for low temperatures and matched to the room size. Skip the little moisture absorbers — they're too small for a genuinely damp room in Caton.

Does this stop mould coming back in Caton?
It's the practical fix while you sort any underlying issue: drop the humidity and the black spots in Caton lose the damp they feed on.
