DampRid Lavender Vanilla Hanging Moisture Absorber, 16 oz., 3 Pack - Eliminates Musty Odors for Fresher, Cleaner Air, Ideal Moisture Absorbers for Closet, 14% More Moisture Absorbing Power*

After recently closing on a home down in Sarasota, one of the immediate challenges was dealing with the coastal humidity creeping into the closets. I wanted a passive way to protect clothes and keep the space smelling fresh without having to run an electric dehumidifier all day. Performance & Everyday Use: Effectiveness: It’s incredibly satisfying (and a bit alarming) to see how much water these pull from the air. In our master closet, it took about six weeks for the crystals in the top pouch to fully dissolve and fill the bottom bag with trapped moisture. The Scent: The Lavender Vanilla fragrance is noticeable but not overwhelming. It completely eliminated that stale, musty odor that enclosed spaces tend to get in this climate, replacing it with a clean scent. Convenience: Zero maintenance required. You literally just unwrap it, hang it on the closet rod, and forget about it. Once the bottom section is full of water, you just toss the whole thing in the trash. The Only Downside: They hang down fairly low, especially as the bottom fills with water and gets heavy. If you hang them on a rod with longer items like coats or dresses, the bulky water pouch might rest awkwardly against your clothes or drag on the shelf below. It’s best to position them alongside shorter items like button-down shirts. Verdict: If you live in a humid area and need a low-effort solution to keep your wardrobe smelling great and feeling dry, this 3-pack is a no-brainer. I'll be keeping these in regular rotation around the house. Is great value for the money!

I used one at our hotel room in Cancun where it’s pretty humid and it worked great. It took away the humidity and our room never smelled musty. You can see the water in the bag. I recommend it.

Oh my goodness, these moisture absorbing bags really work well! I have a closet in my house that is side-by-side with a bathroom and noticed my clothes were getting musty smelling (even when recently washed). I put this bag in the closet for less than a month and it is already full of water. I am shocked to see how much moisture was in the closet. I would highly recommend these for anyone struggling with excess moisture in a room or closet. I will definitely be a returning customer and repurchasing these. I feel like this bag size is ideal for a small to medium closet. The set up is extremely easy and it’s a great value for a great item! Just buy it, you won’t regret it! Oh, I also love the smell of the lavender vanilla bags - the smell is light and not at all overwhelming (and I am very sensitive to smells).

We recently moved into an older historic home on a military base in Texas, and these houses are known to have issues with mold. I wanted to be proactive and do whatever I could to help prevent problems, so I gave these a try. I’ve already purchased a couple of boxes and just ordered more—they seem to work really well. You can actually see the water collecting in the clear bag, which is pretty amazing and shows how much moisture they’re pulling from the air. I’ll definitely keep buying these to help keep the moisture levels down in our closets. Great product!

I've been using these Damp Rid hanging moisture absorbers in whatever scent is the least expensive, for several years. So clearly I like the product. However, in the past 9-12 months, the plastic hangers have been breaking off about half the time. A couple of times I even had to use thread to keep the plastic attached to the bag. It's likely that the manufacturer is cheapening the production process or materials, so I started experimenting with different forms of Damp Rids and other manufacturers. Every product has a pro and con, so I am not giving up on this specific product yet, but I wish they would upgrade the production to its previous higher quality state. I am rating this 4 star although 3.5 would be more accurate at the moment.
