Description

Can you make an effective DIY dehumidifier without tools or electricity? Today I’m using calcium chloride and an unexpected household item to create an incredibly simple moisture absorber for about $2. Then I’ll scale up the same idea into a much larger bucket dehumidifier with greater capacity. I’ll also explain whether adding a fan is really worthwhile—and why this passive design should not be confused with a commercial electric dehumidifier. This may be useful for closets, bathrooms, storage areas, campers, garages and other smaller damp spaces. Results will vary depending on temperature, humidity, airflow and the size of the area.
