Your Foxdale hire questions
How do I clear a musty, damp room?

How much does it cost to run per day?
It depends on the model and how long it runs, but you're typically looking at not much of electricity per day of use.
Is it better to hire or buy a dehumidifier?
Yes — to dry out a cellar or get through a damp spell, a few days' hire is often enough and costs far less than buying.
How quickly will it dry my room?
You'll often feel the difference on day one. For lasting results, run it until the walls and air are properly dry — usually several days to a couple of weeks.
Can it help with mould on the walls?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Keep things dry and you stop it regrowing. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
