<p>For all you Southerners with expertise on DampRid (which I never heard of until here on cc) - I happened to notice a shelf of the stuff at local hardware store. Jeez-o-man, it comes in about a jillion different forms: rectangular packets on a hanger, sachets, beads you put in a bucket, crystals in a “milk carton”, etc. etc. etc.</p>

<p>S is headed to New Orleans, so when we get there, I’m guessing the hanger version would be the best for a boys’ room. IE, hang it in there and it does its job with no effort from him. Is that the way to go?</p>

<p>Be careful. It really does pick up moisture to the extent of filling up with liquid. Mom sets it in a plastic tub in the floor of the closet. I’m not familiar with the hanger style. Just be sure to change it out when it gets full.</p>

<p>I live in the South and never heard of it until I read about it here.</p>

<p>What exactly is the purpose of this stuff?</p>
