The "smoke" you see us exhale is water vapor - and its not even from the liquid in the tube - it is moisture drawn from the air by a piece inside called an atomizer.

Me personally I would not like the hardwood floor stain because there are so many other awesome stains the look better to me.The stain in the concrete will also penetrate it deeply and last for a long time, so definitely choose something you want to age with.

Even if there weren't clothes on the ground you'd still have a moisture problem in the unit.

My father was in construction for years, so I've inherited nearly every possible renovation tool you could ever want - including a roof moisture meter (he was an inspector for a minute)!

.- Garage (moisture stains, wall damaged, laundry hose bib leaking), partially converted to a room.

I've used this stuff before:  floor sealerBuy a 10 dollar pump sprayer from HD and seal the floor so you don't have water penetration. 

If you are on the edge of a desert, it makes little sense to sod with {non native} grass species which require moisture levels above and beyond what Mother Nature supplies.Even way up here in the north east, we do not landscape our properties with non-native species - particularly non-native grass species and ornamental shrubs - many of which come from warmer climates further south and can be high maintenance given our winters and their lower resistance to {native} weeds and insects.

I find a good bathroom fan helps to cut down on moisture and mold problems. 

Especially because it is unaffected by moisture like laminate floors are.

Set up a sump pump with a way to measure moisture during storms.
