Hello everybody. just a quick pic of my salt bars. The others are not as bad. I have a fan running in the door. But really need a dehumidifier. Not decided if I should touch them. I did kinda dab the worst of it off. the lighter ones are almost 2 months old. Thanks for looking.

My basement gets really humid in the summer too. I run a dehumidifier all year to keep my soap in 45% humidity. We just bought a new one a couple of weeks ago because the old one quit on us.
 
I love my dehumidifier. I wipe all of of the droplets off whenever I see them and turn on the dehumidifier. I am concerned that they will stain or cause DOS (even if I have no proof of that).
 
just an after thought. I noticed that the last batches. Made with 31% water reduction, vs 38% default soapcalc setting. are not really sweating. So, even more reason to work with a water reduction. Learning in leaps and bounds and hop, skips, and jumps too.
