Daiso Japan's dehumidifiers are effective and it took me a while to test them. We bought our dehumidifiers from Daiso Japan in Robinsons Manila about a month ago. I told Patrick that we needed to buy one to put inside Stanley (our car) because there was one time when the car seats were covered in mold/mildew spots after continuous rains! We were happy to find that they were offering a "Buy 2 Take 1 Free" promo on them. We immediately chose 1 Lavender scent, 1 Citrus scent and 1 Unscented to test all three out :)
We immediately put the lavender scented dehumidifier inside the car as soon as we reached the parking space (yes, that fast!). The rest we saved for later use.
It just so happened that Manila was up for continuous rainy days. We opened the Citrus dehumidifier and put it in our bathroom where there was a leak in the ceiling. After about a couple of days from opening, we noticed that there was an accumulation of water inside the container. Oh and the bathroom did lose the musty smell that comes with being damp because of the citrus scent.
Next, I moved the citrus dehumidifier and put it in our air well where a bit of rain creeps along the walls. This spot is where a lot of moisture accumulates and look! A lot of moisture was collected. This was about a week's worth of moisture!
I think as moisture is absorbed by the little balls on the top divide, they are converted back into water that gets collected in the bottom half! See the little white balls on top?? They disappear as they collect moisture.
A word of caution though when opening the product: Be careful when removing the foil from the top. Make sure that you don't remove the thin filter that covers the package. I made that mistake when we opened the lavender scented dehumidifier hehe It's still going to work but the little balls will be over-exposed to the atmosphere.
I'll be sure to buy more when Daiso Japan PH has a new promo :)
Very very happy with my daiso closet charcoal dehumidifier, the price is cheaper then other large chain stores but the health benefit are priceless, in Australia we have various temperature changes in one day and this product has saved me from spending hundreds of dollars. Very happy!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really is effective, even when there are no more little balls :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome article! I want people to know just how good this information is in your article. It’s interesting, compelling content. Your views are much like my own concerning this subject. dehumidifier
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I appreciate your comments :)
DeleteI have never used the habit of using a dehumidifier, but the weather is too humid recently. I think I have to buy one. The product recommended in the blog looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It works well for cars, closets, under the sink.. :)
DeleteMay i know what are the balls made out of? Just for a science project
ReplyDeleteSadly, I don't know what they're made out of.
Deletewhen is the best time to change it? when container is about half filled water? or no more of those white balls?
ReplyDeleteI would say when the balls have disappeared. It would mean that they've served their purpose :)
DeleteHow much po
ReplyDeleteMost of the products in Daiso are P88, each of these cost P88. But if you buy 3, you only pay P176. They're also available in Shopee and Lazada. Thanks!
DeleteMay I know how to dispose them? I dont know how to use them at first so I put some water. LOL. Obviously, that should not be the case, based from your blog. Can I just directly throw it in the garbage bin?
ReplyDeleteWhat I did was empry the water feom the container, rinsed it out and put the plastic container for recycling.
DeleteI'm thinking of buying this. May I ask if there's a "lifespan" for this kind of product? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI know there's an expiry date stamped on the container. Thanks.
ReplyDeletedoes it still works after being dissolved?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it can still collect moisture but not as effectively as when the little balls are still present. Thanks.
