Dehumidifier on in my garage last few weeks  got to keep moisture at bay.Few years ago my wife would use the tumble dryer daily in the garage I didn’t realise that caused condensation causing chrome on my Suzy Kettle and wheel on my Hardley to rust🙀🙀 the dryers in the shed now

mike the bike:
It always amazes me why people don't vent dryers to the outside.  Where do they think all the water ends up?

davefirestorm:
It was and is vented,I blamed the wife anyway ;D cost me a new exhaust system new chrome bases for speedo/tacho plus powder coating wheels.I find wooden sheds not good for storing bikes

ACF50 will not keep everything in the garage condensation free. I live at about 600' above sea level and the residual humidity (RH) levels get pretty intense (can be up to 95%) and my classic cars, tools, spares etc in the garage got soaked on a regular basis. So I bought an XDry dehumidifier about 9 years ago (and a cheap digital RH monitor off eBay) and it's still going strong and draws 3.5lts of water over a 10-12 hr period. Now everything is bone dry, including my bikes since I got back into biking in early 2016.

This is a good site with a good FAQ page - NTDWM, just a very satisfied customer: https://www.dry-it-out.com/dry/garage-workshop.html

It won't, but if you don't have an electrical supply in your garage or can't afford a dehumidifier,  its a good second option.
