Common Humidity Problems

[ogdentrece]

Wow the humidity sock sounds like an awesome idea. I have been misting my tubs (which have newspaper in them) twice a day. Its sort of a pain and there are days I work late or don't come home at all during the day and they are dry by the time I get home.

Can you please elaborate more on the humidity sock? Can you explain exactly what you would use? I mean, would you take anything wet (like another sock) and stuff the wet sock in a dry sock and then leave it in the tub? I would like to try this....I wonder if kids socks for the small 15 Qt tubs would work.

Yeah, that sounds alright. Basically the aim is the achieve something that releases the moisture slowly or slows down the evaporation so it would last a while increasing humidity without drying out quickly like misting does. Misting usually only moistens surfaces of everything rather than holding moisture and increasing humidity for a period of time. So it needs to be rather thick, absorbent, and wet right through. The additional dry sock on the outside is because I always prefer everything dry. Safer too. As for size, you might have to play around with those.
