When storing materials, packing such buffers as silica gel with the goods before sealing the container will help keep excess moisture at bay.

For basements, sprinkle chlorinated lime (commonly called chloride of lime or bleaching powder) over the floor. Let it sit until musty mildew odors disappear. Then sweep it up. Increasing the heat and air circulation into the basement will help this process. Get rid of mildew on tiled walls and bathrooms floors by scrubbing them with a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite or chlorine bleach, 1 cup of bleach to a gallon of water. Rinse with clean water and wipe as dry as possible. Keep the windows and shower curtain open until the walls and floors are thoroughly dry.
