Why does humidity settle in closets?

Find out how to get rid of humidity in closets, avoid mold and odors, and choose the right dehumidifiers for you.

Why does humidity settle in closets?

When condensation appears in a closet, stagnant water quickly creates an environment conducive to unpleasant odors, at the deterioration of furniture, at the alteration of the content (clothing, documents, textiles) and to the mold formation.
This phenomenon is usually related to poor air circulation or high humidity in the room.

How do you get rid of humidity in a closet?

To reduce excess water vapor, it is recommended to use dehumidifying products capable of capturing ambient humidity. They work by adsorption or absorption, according to their composition.

The main products used are:

1. Silica gel bags

They absorb moisture in their pores, but their capacity is limited. Once saturated, they need to be replaced.

2. Charcoal

It can absorb some of the moisture and odors. However, its effectiveness remains variable and depends heavily on the quantity used and on the air circulation.

3. Air Sponge

Air Sponge is one of the dehumidifying solutions by adsorption.
Unlike silica gels or charcoal, It uses a patented mesoporous material, capable of absorbing moisture when the level exceeds approximately 60%, then release it naturally when the air dries up.
This allows him to regenerate without intervention, without becoming permanently saturated and without producing waste.

Why is Air Sponge particularly suitable for closets

  • Works without electricity
    → ideal in closed spaces such as closets.

  • Auto-regenerative
    → unlike silica gel, it does not need to be replaced when it has adsorbed moisture.

  • Maintenance-free and long-lasting
    → it naturally adsorbs and releases moisture depending on ambient conditions.

  • Flexible format (tape, adhesive or magnetic application)
    → it can be easily placed on the inner wall of the closet, where moisture is concentrated.

  • Reduces the risk of odors and mold
    → by stabilizing humidity, it limits the condensation phenomena responsible for degradation.
