DampRid Reusable Moisture Absorber with Fresh Scent Drop-In Tab, Mess-Free, Spill-Resistant Design, Moisture & Odor Absorber for Fresher, Cleaner Air

Worked well in my large walk in closet.

I keep my dirty laundry in a tote in my clothes closet, as well as my shoes. It's hot and humid in summer in Chicago, and it was like a boy's locker room in there. I was also afraid my clean clothes were picking up the smell. I bought this thing, and it really handled it, and pretty quickly. I was unable to get the unscented, so there is a chemical smell, but it stays in my closet, and is not heavy, and it is better than the damp stank that was in there before. I bought the refills in unscented, so I hope those work as well as these. The container for the tablet is kind of big, like a football, but not too big for my deep-but-narrow closet, and it works very well for that size of a space.

Working great so far! It’s collected enough water to reach the fill line and it hasn’t even gone through a whole tablet yet. The smell isn’t my favorite though. It’s a bit headache inducing but it’s not strong so as long as you’re not around it you should be fine.

Midwestern humidity! I bought this product for the closets, and it really works well.. Another reviewer left a great, detailed review about the set-up and what to expect when using this product, so I won’t repeat it here, but I noticed other customers mentioned having problems with spillage—which can easily happen if the container is in an awkward spot. The lid just rests on the top, and even though the tablet holder/drainage section snaps into place, if the lid comes off when handling it, it’s easy to have the whole thing slip and dump the collected moisture (now mixed with the tablet gook) all over the place. The gunk is pretty much impossible to clean up properly. If it dumps out on carpet, shampooing the carpet is the only way to get it cleaned up. It holds a LOT of moisture so you don’t want it to dump out.To get around this, I bought some of those clear plastic pantry/fridge organizer bins with the built in handles (available on Amazon), and place each damp rid unit into a bin. This prevents the units from being bumped and tipping over in the closet, and makes it easy to handle the units when it’s time to pull them out of the closet to dump the collected moisture. I use a 9”L x 5”W x 4”H bin (which narrows to 8.4 L x 4.3W at the bottom), and the damp rid unit sits in there perfectly. Makes it so easy to carry the unit to where you can dump the moisture! Pour slowly at first—the shape and length of the dumping tube makes the stuff shoot out a little further than you expect. As one reviewer mentioned, wait until the tablet is completely used up before replacing it. The tablet turns into a gloppy goo as it does its work, so it’s messy to deal with until it’s used up. I really prefer this system to the loose granules or the packets which left crystallized chunks clinging to the container that would pop out after the liquid was dumped, and get everywhere. I really like how much easier and cleaner it is to dump out the liquid and replace the tablet, and how much dampness it collects before needing to replace the tablet.

My boyfriend rented his house out while he was living out of state and the renters ruined the bathroom! After moving back in we noticed there is a big water problem in one of the bathrooms. No leaking water but felt extremely damp. In the summer it stinks so bad, and if you happen to leave the door shut when you open the door after a while the mirror looks like someone had been taking a shower it’s so fogged up. Before we can get around to tearing it all apart and fix this issue I came across damp rid. Figured it couldn’t hurt!! It’s been in there 2 days and already a huge improvement! It does not feel nearly as damp!! I can’t speak on the smell yet. I got the “fresh” scent and not a fan of it.. but generally do not like those fresh scents anyway. I’d love if they came out with a lemon scented or something like that! But the bathroom does not stink quite as bad as it does in the summer though that could also be to cooling weather.. either way, we are happy with this thing! Does the job making it feel so much better and I love that it does not take electric or batteries and it’s fairly small so it does not take up much room!

Didn’t like this product it picked the water out of the air but when it got full when I picked it up it wouldn’t latch together because cheaply made materials and the tablet resolved in the tank so it dumped all over a bunch of my things and the tablet in the water tank rusted everything it landed on I had to throw away a lot of my things and I threw this product in the garbage lesson learned I would not recommend this product or repurchase it again

Works great, easy to use. No problems with it leaking or spilling. I recommend it!

Any DampRid product always works great. I'm in Florida and we use this product in our main bathroom and it's already working as it should.
