Thank you for your reply. 
l will be giving it a try later this week.  As for letting it 'dry' for a week, lol, between the heat and the ocean air that doesn't work for me.  Learned that the hard way the first year l lived in Perth...
l buy moisture absorbent pellets, they are designed for a small portable dehumidifier but placed inside the house, they work well.  Even those little packets, they come in pretty much everything from food to shoes to appliances, work great.  l used to hoard them all year then place several inside the house.
Anyway, thanks for your help and Merry Christmas!
