How quickly will it dry my room?
It depends how wet things are: condensation clears in days, while a flooded space in Glenfinnan may need a week or more of continuous running.
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.
