Mold and mildew are fungi that thrive in moist conditions and usually cause the damp, musty odors commonly found in basements, bathrooms, closets and other areas with excess moisture like safes and gun racks. In addition to resulting in unpleasant odors, mold spores will irritate someone with allergies and can result in health problems.The MoistureSorbTM Moisture Absorbent Granules & Powder was specially developed to solve this problem using a unique dual mechanism. Firstly, it absorbs excessive moisture from the air to lower the relative humidity thereby destroying mold and mildew. Secondly, it eliminates musty odors on contact without covering them up with fragrances.For a breath of fresh air, simply sprinkle MoistureSorbTM granules or powder in areas with excessive moisture and smell the difference. It may also be inserted in open containers and placed in the area to be treated. To rejuvenate periodically, simply heat in a microwave for 2-4 minutes or place in direct sunlight for a day and reuse. Replace when rejuvenation does not help. MoistureSorbTM can work for years so it is very cost effective.MoistureSorbTM is non-toxic, safe, reusable recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for absorbing moisture and eliminating unpleasant musty odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. MoistureSorbTM does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of MoistureSorbTM moisture control media.
