Books and clothes should not be stored in basements that need dehumidifiers,
except in sealed dry containers. (latching lids and gaskets, not just the
plastic bins, although those are better than nothing.)
I've cleaned out enough relative's basements to learn that the hard way. I
have that problem here- all that square and cubic footage, of limited
usefulness.
