I'm glad you posted an update. I don't know if it would help, but if you don't have a dehumidifier in there (and can set one up) that should help dry the moisture also. We live in coastal NC and the humidity here is horrible. If we don't have a dehumidifier running in the tack room of our horse barn everything is covered in mold in a day or two. It amazes me how much water I dump out of the container! We bought our last one at Target, but they sell them at Wal-Mart and lots of other places. Hang in there!
