\"damp<\/a>I’ve been using Damp Rid<\/a>\u00a0for years. \u00a0It draws out a cup or more of water every few weeks from the moisture in each closet. \u00a0The first time trying it,\u00a0I bought a little 1 quart container that I opened and placed in my clothes closet. \u00a0Two weeks later it had drawn out almost two cups of water, and the closet smelled fresh. \u00a0I was sold. \u00a0I bought one for every closet in the house. \u00a0I find it especially helpful in the office supply closet where I store paper products. \u00a0In Florida, we can live with the windows open half the year but that’s when the moisture gets in as well. \u00a0Damp Rid will remove it for you. \u00a0No moisture = so mildew, no mold and no moldy smell. \u00a0Yay. I learned hard lessons when I neglected my situation and had to have a Montreal mold inspector<\/a> come into my place and give me some sombre news, water damage is as serious as fire damage in some cases.<\/p>\n

I buy the refill packages now since I bought the containers the first time<\/p><\/div>\n

How DampRid Works: <\/a>\u00a0The DampRid\u00ae crystals are calcium chloride, a type of salt that, like similar salts, attracts moisture. We use the word moisture because it is the most universal term, but the most accurate words for what the product absorbs are humidity or water vapor. The \u201cloose\u201d water molecules of the vapor are more easily absorbed by the calcium chloride crystals than liquid or solid water are. By absorbing water vapor from the air DampRid begins to dry the air, thus promoting the evaporation of liquid water, which, given time, can allow this to be absorbed as well. DampRid works best in high humidity areas. Without the humidity to absorb DampRid will not function, or not function as quickly.<\/p>\n
