Yeah, I hear you on those tubs. Tried them in my basement closet and honestly, I think they just made me feel like I was *doing* something, but the mold didn’t care. The refills are a hassle and they’re not cheap if you’ve got more than one spot to deal with. I finally picked up a used dehumidifier off Facebook Marketplace—wasn’t pretty, but it sucked up way more water than I expected. Sure, it’s not silent, but at least my jackets don’t smell like an old gym bag anymore.
Baking soda’s decent for keeping shoes fresh or tossing in drawers, but yeah, if your hair’s frizzing out and your closet’s growing science experiments, you need something with real power. Only thing is, the electric bill does go up a bit with the dehumidifier running all summer... Still worth it for me though.
