How can i reduce the humidity in my house?
Control the sources of moisture and increase ventilation. As a temporary measure to an acute problem, open a window in each room for just a few minutes. Opening windows allows the stale, humid air to escape and fresh dry air to enter.

Vent all gas burners, clothes dryers, etc to the outdoors. Install kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans.
