Ventilate, fix any obvious source of water, then run a properly sized dehumidifier. Within a few days the smell and the damp ease off in Norton.
Will it push my electricity bill up?

How quickly will it dry my room?

Can it help with mould on the walls?
A dehumidifier tackles the root: the excess moisture mould needs to grow. Clean the existing mould off, then keep the air dry and it won't keep returning in Norton.
