Until I had success with the DampRID solution, I thought I would have to contain or part with my 'moldy oldies'. I have an extensive album collection that goes back to MAE WEST but must carve out space to do the sort and rehab chore.
In the meantime, the hanging DampRID unit attracts the moisture from around the albums, reducing the microbial population while entirely eliminating the smell. Voila! I can enjoy the album cover art and the sounds until ready to take on the task.
Pros: Immediate Results, Easy to Use, Fast Results, Long-Lasting, Effective
Cons: will buy unscented next time
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've always used the standard refillable bucket. But saw these with the hangers built in and absolutely love em.
For those who say they don't last that long, my experience says that's because you have A LOT of moisture in the area, and it's WORKINGl
the box I bought was a 3 pk, so I hung 2, lasted about a month. And just put the 3rd one in. Do yourself a favor and get yourself one of those digital/old style thermometer/hygrometer's so you can see how high your humidity is. Anything above 60-65% I'll use these along with the refillable bucket.
Hope this helps....
Pros: Great Scent, Immediate Results, Easy to Use, High Quality, Fast Results, Effective

Damp Rid closet packs are very absorbent. I hung one behind the driver's seat in my husband's car after a recent stretch of sleet and heavy rain. Too much moisture and too little ventilation were beginning to leave an odor. Damp Rid pulls the moisture out of the air and the carpet. I am not fond of the "fresh scent," but it is relatively mild. I would prefer something other than floral.
Pros: Easy to Remove, Cost Effective, Easy to Use, Fast Results, Packaging, Long-Lasting, Effective
Cons: Strong Aroma
Yes, I recommend this product.

The product does a good job 2 issues it says it last 90 days more like 30 in reality, and far too often they are not quality controlled since the crystals in the upper half fall into the lower half where the trapped water goes. I have used the product for many years and these two issues continue to happen.
Pros: Easy to Use
Cons: poor quality, they only last 30 days
Yes, I recommend this product.

WOW-- After trying to dry out some damp interiors of cars with a musty smell. I gave this a try. I does the job! I put it inside cars I export to help keep them dry while inside a container ship across the ocean. My customers on the other side tell me it is working!

These are an excellent way to absorb moisture in your homes basement and closets. You just hang the in an area out of site and let them do the work.What we have found is that they are small ,maybe to small as they didn't last only a couple of weeks.THEY could be twice the size and still fit well where you would hang them within the home. Excellent product
Pros: Easy to Remove, Easy to Use, Effective
Cons: not large enough short life span
Yes, I recommend this product.

This the very best item I have ever found to take dampness out of my closets. We live in an old house with air leaks in a high humidity area and it does the job perfectly! Change them out every three months and no more problems!

Great product to monitor moisture in any room! Hang it in a closet and check it every few weeks to see if there is any moisture...if no moisture, move it to another room. Great to keep excess moisture in check before it becomes a problem.

My old rental house has no moisture barrier / ventilation. Upon discovery of mildew on shoes, and in clothing, I hung in both closets, kitchen, and living room. Each bag is full monthly, so I would say its successful. Deodorizes the first week also, then that scent fades.

My basement always seems to have a slightly musty smell even with a dehumidifier running. When I hung the first Moisture Absorber it did such a good job that when it was time to get another I elected to go with the 42 oz. size. My basement doesn't smell musty anymore.
