DampRidMoisture Absorber with Activated Charcoal for Boats & RVs, 18 oz.Fragrance Free

Works in the bathroom and in the car

Family's been using this for years to control moisture in the air and it works great. It doesn't eliminate moisture.Be aware product could come damaged. Most damage is minor so it can still be used to its full extent. Most damage I've seen is the blue lid broken and silver seal slightly off. The base and fabric that hold the beads and reservoir have always been intact. When removing the seal only remove the silver, leaving the white fabric part behind.Do not try to use if base is broken/cracked or beads are exposed, try to get an exchange immediately.

They soak up water great. Now can they design one to soak up bad juju too?

Although I've used this product for small rooms, for this item I used it in a cabinet in my basement. I do not have a dehumidifier - although I probably should. But I noticed that some of the pots that I had stored in this cabinet were getting surface rust. I put this little bucket in there and in no time, it absorbed the moisture. Much drier - but yes, a dehumidifier would take care of the whole area - but this was perfect for just the cabinet. I was happy to see the unscented version available. Although I don't mind the scented one, it can be a bit overpowering in small areas. When I used the scented one in a room, it wasn't too bad, but I do prefer the unscented version.

We bought these as a last ditch attempt for a couple spots in the house that always seem to get moldy in the winter and spring.I just pulled them out of the dark corners they were in and holy cow! They absorbed so much water! I’m extremely impressed with this product! we’ve ordered a bunch more to replace the ones we have and came up with a few other places we’d like drier, like under the sink.Great product, works for months before needing to be replaced and super cheap. I can’t endorse these highly enough.

My air conditioner decided to start spewing mildew scented air this summer and no matter how I tried to clean it, it kept happening. Couldn’t find anything to help and then decided to try this damp rid product because it has the added charcoal feature. I can’t have anything scented around me as I’m very sensitive to it (scentsitive?) lol) because I have asthma and charcoal is usually a good absorber of smells. I put this in front of the air conditioner and within 24 hours, the room smelled so much better, much fresher and my asthma has been much better in this particular room since I got this. Coincidence maybe but if it keeps me from using my inhaler constantly, I’m for it!Updating: I had planned to continue to use this year round and may still consider it as I felt it helped. However what others have said are true. It leaks. It’s like the stuff eats through the plastic tub after a while and the liquid goes everywhere.As a precaution after reading reviews, I had kept the plastic wrapping (with the logo and directions, etc) on it as extra protection in case of a leak. Thought that would be enough and it seemed to be ok.When I went to move the damp rid to check to see if it was time to change it, I hadn’t realized that it not only leaked out, but was starting to seep through our hardwood floors. Apparently it had been leaking for some time and the chemicals made it very hard to clean up. It doesn’t absorb into paper towels or anything so I had to use two gift cards to scoop it all up. Thankfully I caught it before it did any major damage to our floors (and being in an apartment we would have paid dearly for by management) but if I hadn’t caught it it, it definitely would have been an issue.I’d still very much like to use this product as it did help the issues I mentioned earlier but will have to figure out a way to keep the leaking at bay.

This is our second purchase of DampRid products. I use one under the sink in the kitchen and my daughter places on in her truck.DampRid has completely eliminated the musty smell from under the sink. The water that seeps in from faucet flanges etc is absorbed and no mess or damage is incurred.We don’t know why moisture is getting into my daughter’s truck. It is rarely driven. The DampRid is very effective in absorbing the water there as well.

Used this product inside my car while in winter storage. Didn’t expect it to work too good for how cheap it was, but I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door on a wet gloomy day expecting the inside to be fogged over, and it was completely dry! I have recommended this product to all my friends and they are very happy with the outcome, it does a great job and leaves no smell behind!

My basement had serious moisture problems, and this kept the humidity in the bedroom down quite a lot. Definitely worth buying.

Elimina los olores de una habitación; quedé sorprendido de la cantidad de humedad que absorbe, la habitación es más fesca y protejo mis aparatos electrónicos, ropa y libros. Lo recomiendo

Didn't notice a huge difference but it was in a large room

Absorbe la humedad de manera adecuada

I put these in my travel trailer when I winterize it in the fall. I use 4 for a 30' trailer. In the spring they are full of water and the trailer doesn't smell musty or damp.
