Would having a de-humidifier in the garage stop corrosion?

As the title really. I'd probably never be bothered to buy one, as I keep my bikes fairly clean anyway, but would a dehumidifier be good enough in a relatively dry garage to stop much/any corrosion?

Would this be enough to eliminate the need to hose down after a salty ride, or are they just not good enough?

Zero substitute for a hose-down.

I have always wondered, if you left a de-humidifier outside and turned on permanently, what would the potential be? A de-humidified entire earth?

Generally speaking, FS365 neutralises the salt (you put this on after a "salty ride" Laughing

), and ACF50 is a barrier you put on before.

You can make the atmosphere in your shed drier and that will be a good thing, ventilation is important.
If it's a smallish shed and you put the bike in wet sometimes it can make the place damp(er) for weeks this time of year.

What's the floor made of?
If wood it should be fairly good in there anyway, but a concrete floor without damp proof membrane makes for a damp, cold building.
With a damp proof membrane the concrete becomes very dry mass which acts a bit like blotting paper - it will actually help the place stay drier through the winter months.
You can't realistically change it but worth bearing in mind if building.
