@Krishna start with your house. Ensure doors and windows are lined with rubber seals. All outside facing doors have full chowkhat ie door frame has four sides not 3 as has become the trend today. Use dehumidifier in the house and keep a portable hygrometer to monitor humidity at different at different areas of the house. Also ensure some fresh air in the house at about 15% air exchange. measure total volume of carpet area and buy appropriate fans at rated air flow run them at regular intervals to ensure fresh oxygen laden air. The dehumidifier/s should be rated for the volume of air in the house. If you have ACs in the house consult a HAVC professional with requirements to get optimum results.
Thank you @Zainali....
