Okay, so I know we can get a dehumidifier, which we'll definitely do - but what other ways are there to fight humidity/dampness in the house? Seems even the bedsheets are damp. It even wakes me up at night. Every surface feels sticky-icky. I saw the post suggesting two tons of rice - LOL - but short of that? I'd hate to close the windows at night, but what to do? We have some louvred rooms, too, and I know that doesn't help.
Finally, do you think carpeting makes it worse? We bought a fixer-upper with lots of the darn stuff —ugh— which we're tearing out asap, but are struggling with whether to replace with wood, laminate, or tile. Do you think that decision might help with humidity problems?
