Mildew in Safe Room

We built a new house a year ago and in the basement we added a safe room in case of bad weather. It is concrete on all sides and the ceiling with a door. We did sheet rock it and paint it. Within a couple of weeks after we moved in we went in the room and there was mildew everywhere. Even on the stuff we had in there. We put a humidifier in there and ran it for a week or longer and it helped. My husband went in it a couple of days ago and it was terrible again. So we have the humidifier going again. So my question is how or what can we do to fix this problem? The basement is finished except for 2 rooms and we keep the door closed and we don't have any problems with mold or mildew in them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
