Your Lilliesleaf hire questions

How much does it cost to run per day?
With a humidistat the unit only runs when it needs to, which keeps costs down. No need to leave it on full all day.

How quickly will it dry my room?

Does this stop mould coming back in Lilliesleaf?
Yes, indirectly — mould thrives on damp air. Hold the humidity down and you break the cycle. For heavy growth, treat the surface first, then dry the room.
