Rice is even a lifesaver for a mobile phone that falls into the water, since its properties allow it to absorb water and break as soon as possible. Beyond that, it acts as a dehumidifier and separates the moisture present in the air.
So, get simple canvas bags that close with a drawstring or a bowl that can be placed in the back of the closet where there is space.
How to arrange rice inside the cupboard to eliminate humidity
Inside some organza bags, put a maximum of 40 grams of rice grains. The amount of rice changes depending on the size of the room to be dehumidified. The bags can be placed between hangers instead of perfume racks, or between laundry.
While the bowl, to prevent it from accidentally falling, should be placed in a sheltered corner. Once you follow the advice, you will be able to see the effects within a few days, even a few will be enough for the bad smell to disappear completely.
It is advisable to change the rice from the bowl or bags within a maximum period of 15 days, since having absorbed the moisture its action will slow down considerably.
Prevention, such as avoiding moisture buildup in cabinets
So now we know that the solution to closet moisture is here, but that doesn’t mean giving up the worst habits. To avoid the formation of humidity inside the closets, it is advisable to let the clothes dry before storing them inside. The same for towels and sheets.
You should never put dirty things or sweat-soaked shoes inside the closets . These release bad odors that wood easily absorbs and contribute, even worse, to the proliferation of fungi and molds. It is also advisable to leave the doors open, at least a few hours a day, to facilitate air exchange.
