 Prefer Damp Check over Damp Rid Aug 16, 2009
I have used both Damp RID and Damp CHECK for the past five years. I put it in all of my closets, my bathroom and bedroom. Damp RID is "ok," but I greatly prefer Damp CHECK.
Damp RID's pellets are flakier and don't last as long as Damp CHECK.
The packaging isn't as good either. Damp RID's holes in the inner basket are smaller and harder to clean and don't hold up as well for refills. Damp CHECK's inner basket is very easy to clean and is durable. I have had my containers for five years now and keep refilling them. It's much cheaper to just purchase refills. My Damp RID containers only last me one or two uses.
Damp RID is designed for use without a lid so kids, animals, etc. can come in contact with the active ingredient. The Damp CHECK comes with a special "webbed" lid that keeps the product out of contact.
Damp CHECK is harder to find, but well worth it. I buy it direct and get free shipping. They have a great variety of products, including for your car.
The only exception to this is that Damp RID sells a closet hanger version that Damp CHECK doesn't have. This is the only Damp RID product I buy. I use Damp CHECK for the rest of my home, storage and auto.

 "Out, Dampness, Out!" Aug 07, 2009
As the summer season veers toward autumn, and you are bound to start putting things in your basement or storeroom, you may want to invest in an inexpensive product that will take out the dampness in a fairly simple manner.
This product comes in various sizes and styles; the styles vary from a plastic container with a lid, to a see-through hanging bag to be hung high above any "little fingers", or yours, for that matter. Once the seal is opened on any of the products, you need to make sure the container or bag is in a place where it will not be tipped or troubled by anyone who might want to tamper with the contents.
Having used these products successfully, over the past 5 years, I have found this product to involve little work, both in setting up and clearing away, for another container to continue reducing the dampness in the basement or storeroom. It took about 10 weeks for the crystals to become liquid; once that process is completed, you can throw away the "see-through hanging bag" or the "plastic container with the lid", and set up a new container, and "Voila!" dampness lessens.

Really works- great for under the kitchen sink Jul 04, 2009
I always saw this product in stores but never actually tried it until I got a coupon in the paper. It ended up costing about $2 so I figured I wasn't out that much if it didn't work. I placed it under my kitchen sink which is a very damp area that was still moldy from a recent pipe leak. Within two hours the crystals in the container were beginning to liquify! The crystals in Damp Rid turn to liquid as it draws in moisture and I can attest this product does work! The package claims it lasts up to a month but due to the extremely damp air under my sink, it lasted about two weeks for me. I did notice the mold smell was much less noticable while using Damp Rid. I am now a fan and will continue to use it.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT: Dangerous for pets and children as it is poisonous, making it less user friendly for many homes.

 No More Moisture Jan 09, 2008
Excellent product for my bathroom! Use to have some mold buildup and odor but not any more. A little messy to clean but I still love it.

Where did the mold go? Nov 06, 2006
I was told about this product a year ago and deided to try it. I put one in my bedroom window and one in my living room window, to see what happend. Now I live in the Seattle area and everyone knows that it rains here so my windows get pretty damp with condensation, so in turn they get pretty moldy. I am allergic to mold so anything that will help eliminate mold I am up to try. Within two weeks the bottom of the container was full, and the white crystals were gone. I had cleaned the mold off the windows when I put the Damp Rid in the window, and to my surprise there was no new mold. I kept using it and refilling it and to my surprise the other "unpretected" windows were molding, but my damp rid windows were still nice and clean! I was thrilled!!! I now have Damp Rid in every window in my house and I have not had a mold problem since! This is great stuff and I reccomend it to anyone that wants to keep their windows mold free!
