Desiccant Moisture
Where can I find silica desiccants by the pound?
My apartment gets really humid and sticky during the summer, and I’m looking around for places that sell silica gel desiccants (the little bead packets you find in new shoes and purses that absorb moisture and prevent mold) by the pound.
I don’t want my energy bill to go up, so I don’t want to buy a dehumidifier. I want something non-toxic, and from my research so far, silica gel is one of the safest.
But where can I buy it by the pound? From the Web sites I’ve seen, I’d have to buy thousands of those little packets, and they’re sold wholesale.
If anyone knows where I can find it, or knows of a better natural humidity controller, please let me know. Thanks.
The Instigator: HAHAHA! I majored in journalism. And my mom always nagged us whenever we spoke incorrectly. (Sometimes we’d do it on purpose to rile her up.)
the cheapest natural dehumidifier is fresh air, as long as it’s not saturated.
you’d need too many of those packets to absorb much. and silica is a carcinogen.
