I’m not sure about a specific thing to make, but things like dry milk sprinkled around the trim might help. It tends to absorb moisture. I’ve used it in storage boxes of photos, sprinkled a little bit here and there in the bottom. Then, you can just vacuum it up periodically and reapply.
Hey Gayle, Kitty litter may work and some more expensive have a fresh odor. However, my first thought was a wonderful old product, 20-mule team Borax. Great for musty odors, carpet cleaning, showers etc. I have read reports that it actually has antimicrobial effects, but the company does not lay claim to this on the box. It does seem to sanitize the laundry and leaves it with virtually no odor. So it must be cleaning more than the company lets on. Good luck, hopes this helps.

Do a google search for “cheap Damp Rid”. I finally convinced my husband that the dehumidifier had to go by plugging it into a Kill-A-Watt device and discovering that it used $0.60 – $1.00 of electricity per day, so now I’m using a Damp Rid-type product in our laundry/gun safe room. The search reveals ways to recycle Damp Rid as well as less expensive sources for the same type of product.
