Dry It Like Grandma: Timeless Tricks to Eliminate Home Humidity for Good

Use Rock Salt as a Natural Dehumidifier:
Fill bowls or small containers with rock salt and place them in damp-prone areas (like bathrooms, kitchens, or closets). Rock salt absorbs moisture from the air—just like a mini dehumidifier.

Place Baking Soda in Problem Areas:
Pour baking soda into jars and leave them in corners where humidity builds up. It’s a natural absorbent that’s also great for eliminating odors.

Charcoal for the Win:
Charcoal isn’t just for grilling—it’s highly absorbent and can suck up moisture and musty smells. Place briquettes in breathable cloth bags or bowls around your home.

Old Newspaper Trick:
Crumple up newspaper and place it in drawers, shoes, or damp spots. It draws moisture out of the air and can be changed regularly.

Ventilate Like a Pro:
Grannies always knew the power of fresh air. Open windows daily—even in winter—for at least 15 minutes to allow trapped moisture to escape.

Keep Chalk Handy:
Hang bundles of chalk in closets or inside wardrobes. They’ll soak up extra moisture and help keep mold at bay.

Serving and Storage Tips (Application & Maintenance):

Rotate absorbents: Change out rock salt, baking soda, or charcoal every 1–2 weeks, depending on humidity levels.

Proper disposal: Discard used absorbents safely and replace with fresh materials to maintain effectiveness.

Routine check-ins: Monitor corners, windowsills, and behind furniture for moisture buildup.

Keep doors open: Especially in closed spaces like closets or storage rooms—air flow is key.
