I would put in some dehumidifiers asap. That's what we are doing
post-Isabel and it's working well. We got ours at Sears and they have a
collection tank that needs to be emptied regularly; it takes about 5-6
hours to fill. They turn off automatically when full so you can leave
them on overnight with no trouble.

Hi all. I'm looking for a little advice. In the aftermath of Hurricane
Isabel, I have discovered that my museum smells like mildew. Individual
items seem fine. I'm currently airing out the space. Are there any other
thoughts as to how I can safely get rid of the mildew?
Thanks!
