Closet on slide, condensation inside corners, when cold out

Question

Because we live in Florida this hasn’t been an issue, until we traveled recently to Tennessee. Inside closet and compartments that are on slides, condensation from cold outside to heat inside caused wetness in corners of closets and compartments. Wondering what could help. Thinking of getting small dehumidifier and putting those styrofoam swimming noodles on outside corners of slides. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated, as we are going to travel to Philadelphia in about two weeks.

Thank You,
Mema

That is typically a sign of little to no insulation in that area. Warm moist inside air meeting a cold surface causes condensation. The pool noodle idea may work if it can cover the corners enough to make up for the insulation issue. Otherwise keeping the doors to those areas open to circulate air flow should help.

Get some of the CLOSED cell spray foam and seal all edges with that. You can get it at Home Depot or Lowes or order it online.

I like the spray foam idea but protect any place that you don't want the foam because it sticks really well. It's also a little tricky foaming an open space like a corner because the foam wants to drop away from the wall onto the floor. I'd start at the bottom and work my way up. You could practice on a cardboard box.
