Hi ann,

I had the same problem in the porch and kitchen, mainly beacause I dry the clothes in the house during the winter.
I found a tip really useful that I read in a leaflet: heat up the room/house, then open the windows and let the draught blow the wet air out. Seems like a waste of energy, but I only do it a few times a month. And it really helped.
Earlier we were renting an appartement and got really bad mould on the windows and behind cupboards, but the owner had it washed with bleach, then put in a dehumidifier for a few hours a day, we didn't have any problem after that all through the winter. We also left the windows open a bit during the night.

Regards,
p
