can you store clothes in a basement or garage with damp rid

I can't answer about storing clothes in a basement or garage, that is not related to using DampRid. I can tell you that DampRid works and that you could hang it in the garage. I have no doubt that it works anywhere, except of course, outside. Depending on how big your garage is, you may need more than one. But you probably don't need the moisture out of the entire garage, just where your clothes are. I do not know the limits on room volume per hanger of DampRid. I use one in each of my two bedrooms. Sometimes hanging them in the closest, sometimes actually in the room. I use a permanent marker to write the date on the hanger so I know when I hung it. Hope that helps.

Yes. Allow to dry before re-entering. Spray beds, frames, under beds and attic/basements.

All it will do is move the air around in your garage. It is not designed to remove moisture. You will need a dehumidifier to remove moisture.

You could, but I do not recommend it. The material is resistant enough to endure a mildly damp cloth, but any residual moisture might seep inside. I would use a dust-trapping cloth to be on the safe side.

Make it is dry before packing away. I leave mine out for a whole day drying in the sun before packing it up and don't put in basement where it is damp.

No, it would work anyplace you need to reduce humidity by a large amount. Note: We had to set ours at a slight tilt toward the drain end otherwise it would leave puddles of water underneath. Our basement is just painted concrete block walls and poured painted concrete floors, not finished but with teh lower humidity, it is now a great storage area.

No, I am sorry this is a light duty item. I use mine for luggage, jewelry boxes, inside my safe, closed areas that would not be exposed to constant moisture. You could try damp rid it handles larger areas; however I think that you may need something more heavy duty like a dehumidifier.

We have ours inside, but we live in a hotter part of SoCal than you. I would bet that garage storage in such a mild climate like yours, doesn't really affect it much.

No, you will just send the moisture back into the basement air. Get a real dehumidifier.

Yes you can use this in a basement. Will stay still on concrete surface.. My daughters hit into ours in the garage.

If you keep it cool and dry, and bugs out, it would last indefinitely. The key is Gamma lids on buckets to keep any bugs out, and I prefer to keep it cool in the basement.

Absolutely. You will be able to feel it when it gets damp. It holds a lot so I wouldn't worry about messes. I did it all the time when mine wore diapers.

It would probably dry out on its own but the moisture would be in the air in your basement. I would recommend taking it outside after it absorbs the moisture and let it dry outdoors.

I would have to say no since there is an opening on the top for the hangers. If you are worried about storage and possible flooding in the area then no I would not trust it. If traveling and worried about the rain then yes your clothes will be safe. Hope that helps

Yes. We love this unit. Live by the beach and this has really solved our damp basement problem.

I live in a pretty old house and the basement is pretty damp. It ranges about 80 degrees without the unit. This is a great product as it removes most if not all humidity in the basement. You do not need to run it in the winter.

I have ours in the loft and store it vertically when not in use, so I think storing it in a closet would be doable.
