Sounds interesting and worth a go for that price .... so i look in the car aisle in Asda?

We have a hypermarket Asda by us which is massive, there is a car aisle oil car cleaning stuff etc, at the end of that aisle was household bits for £1, depending on how big your local Asda is I suppose as to whether they stock them or not,they have either pink or yellow lids and a cardboard sleeve around it saying dehumidifer, hope this helps

They are available in any good caravan accesory shop too, they get used when peeps shut up their vans for the winter.

(I've got a great solution for this coming winter, let me rent your apartment for 6 months, that'll keep it well & truly ventilated, seperate request on this forum for more details.)

How about a solar powered de-humidifier. I'd love to know how well these work if anybody has any experience of them

The link is to solar powered fans. They are not dehumidiers.Cross flow ventilation by the various simple methods described solves the problem in the large majority of cases.

The £1.00 de-humidifiers pots worked for us,we were surprised at the ammount of water they collected

Has anyone had the solarventi system installed? Is it effective? Local supplier?

We had a damp problem and Engin from who looks after our maintenance suggested we leave the small bathroom windows open and also leave all interior doors open so there is air circulating around the place. We did get insect overs over the little windows so just air would come in. Plus he pays the place visits to check everything out. Seemed to have done the trick.

As Jacqui says simple measures which create cross flow ventilation solves the problem in the large majority of cases without having to use mechanical fans.

Jacqui - I'm sure they will be but just can you confirm that no-one can get in the bathroom windows.

The £1.00 de-humidifiers are available on ebay for £1.98 including postage, if they're not in your local Asda. Have ordered a pack of 4 for £5.99, post free.
