Meanwhile, the EPA's own clock is ticking. You have 24 to 48 hours before mold starts colonizing. And the most powerful drying tool in the house is sitting in the utility room, ignored. Your central air, by design, is a giant industrial dehumidifier. In this episode I cover what to run, what to set, and the three settings most homeowners never touch.
