I've been trying to lower the RH in my Haier wine cooler. Yes, it's full--more and more, of Cuban cigars, so it's not 'that'. I don't have any humidifier in it. I keep the temp at around 63-64F.

I want to see a RH of between 62-65% The RH keeps going up to 67-70%. Yes, I open the door several times each day and the RH in this room right now is at 48%. I've even left the door open for a while.

Last night, I bought a pack of 'DampRid' because I had seen it mentioned here. It came in a plastic(?)/paper 'bag' with a hook pressed into the top so you can hang it in the closet on the clothes pole. There were other packages of Damprid--in plastic tubs, etc. The one I got has a sweeeet odor--like the pieces of 'Bounce' my wife puts in the clothes dryer.

I hung it in the cooler and boy, did it start to suck the RH down but then I got to worrying about that odor. I removed it after about 2 hours. I didn't notice any odor when I smoked several of my Cuban cigars today. The before smell and the smoking were as before. I'm still leary of using it though.

Is there a non-smelling, odor-free DampRid or a different brand?
