The garage I rent is damp. My interior was pretty clean when I put it into storage. Now it’s got crap all over it. Looked like mold from afar, but when I got close it just brushed right off, so that’s ok. But what can I put in there to soak up the moisture? ---

walmart sell this asorbant that comes in a small container… its called dehumidifier… or something like that. Its in the laundry isle by the outside clothes hanger and ironing boards. Saw it yesterday while browsing around. its made for damp closets so it should work for inside your car. ---

I clean them out in the spring and just get refills of the pellets each fall. we bough the two part buckets as well.
