Prevent Mold, Mildew & Their Odors from
Keeping Your Home Smelling Fresh

Dri-It® pouches can be placed virtually anywhere to help prevent odors caused by excess moisture that eanbles mold and mildew to grow in small, not-very-well ventilated areas around your home. Since there are no pails of liquid and chemicals for children or pets to get into or to worry about spilling when full, the places you can put Dri-It® are practically limitless.
Here are some of the reported uses for Dri-It inside your home:

Under the Sink Cabinets

• Kitchen and bathroom under-the-sink cabinets often smell moldy and musty from the moisture around them all the time. Simply lay a pouch or two of Dri-It® on a shelf or out of the way by attaching to the inside of the cabinets to help remove the excess moisture and reduce the growth of molds and mildews.

Protect Valuable Personal Items Safes

• Keep important documents stored in personal safes and bank lock boxes free from mildew and deterioration caused by moisture in the air by keeping a pouch of Dri-It® inside with them. Moisture enters and can be trapped inside these areas every time you open and close them.

  Keeping Dri-It inside the secured area will insure that the moisture is quickly removed and trapped inside the gel, thus helping protect your documents and valuable from the damage caused by excess moisture.

USAGE NOTES:

• You do not have to worry about over-drying with Dri-It, and you cannot put too many pouches in an area. Dri-It is designed to lower RH no lower than 30%. Extra pouches will simply share the moisture load and extend the time between changing pouches for new ones.
• When choosing a location to place the Dri-It® pouch, please consider the weight of a "full" pouch. A saturated pouch will weigh over ¾ of a pound! The adhesive on the pouch is designed to hold a full pouch for an extended period of time, however due to temperature fluctuations and other factors, primarily cleanliness of the mounting surface, the pouch may pull loose. This may happen before the pouch is completely saturated.
• If possible, we recommend checking on the pouch in 30 days and at 3 months and 6 months. In 30 days it will have absorbed it's largest percentage of initial moisture. If the pouch seems less than 50% full, the next checks should be at 3 – 6 months. However, if the pouch seems more than 50% full, you may want to check on it in another 30 days to be sure it has not become saturated.
• If you may not check on the pouch for six months or more, you should consider finding a flat surface to place the pouch on.
• The printed side of the Dri-It® pouch is the side where the moisture enters and is turned into a gel. Blocking this will reduce the effectiveness of the Dri-It material to absorb moisture.
• Occasionally there is a chemical reaction between the printing on the pouch and different surfaces. To avoid damaging paint, wallpaper or other surfaces, keep the printed side up. Do not place the printed side of the Dri-It? pouch in direct contact with metal.
