Took a few days for the dehumidifier to pull the dampness out of the furnishings/fabric of the building. But now it takes an hour in the morning to pull the moisture from the air. It was originally filling its 3.5L tank every day, but now it takes a week to fill it.

Nope, lesson learned! The surprise is driven by an apparently dry, mould free, warm home. Yet it's not and the proof is there each day. OK, it's a big house (2,500 Sq ft) and no doubt I've let it creep up since Summer so there's a lot of potential to pull from.

Passing the info along hoping it triggers someone to catch theirs before the fungus grows! :)
