5.0 out of 5 stars all right by me !!!
I recently discovered a musty, "mildewy" type of smell in the closet that houses my hot water heater and some other things I store there; and I decided to try Damp Rid in order to control and neutralize the smell! Boy, am I glad I chose this product!

It's very easy to use this--it's child's play. Just open the box, remove one of the three packs of Damp Rid...

1.0 out of 5 stars deceptive price
I agreed with several other '1-star' reviews. Buyers be aware that the description and the pricing of this product are misleading. I am a regular user of this product but I typically buy them in retail stores and pay about $8-10 per box (a box has 3 packs). In the case of Amazon, the description of the pricing and discount led me to believe I am getting 3 boxes...

1.0 out of 5 stars deceptive price, August 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
I agreed with several other '1-star' reviews. Buyers be aware that the description and the pricing of this product are misleading. I am a regular user of this product but I typically buy them in retail stores and pay about $8-10 per box (a box has 3 packs). In the case of Amazon, the description of the pricing and discount led me to believe I am getting 3 boxes totaling 9 packs (3x3), however, I only received 1 box! The pricing is a lot higher than what I usually pay and I felt deceived by the seller. This is the very first and the only poor experience I have had with Amazon. I am surprised to see that this product is still being sold under the same but misleading information.

I recently discovered a musty, "mildewy" type of smell in the closet that houses my hot water heater and some other things I store there; and I decided to try Damp Rid in order to control and neutralize the smell! Boy, am I glad I chose this product!

It's very easy to use this--it's child's play. Just open the box, remove one of the three packs of Damp Rid and hang it in the closet where you need to have the bad odor removed. It right away struck me with a strong baby powder type of smell but fortunately I like the smell of baby powder. It hangs on a plastic hanger that comes attached to it and when the white crystals inside the bag stop being white you just throw it away and use a new one as a replacement.

I am very impressed with this product. I've only had it a couple of days not but it made a huge difference in the smell of the closet right away. Closets, of course, have little or no ventilation so any musty smell will just stay there. If you have anything like a hot water heater or anything flammable in your closet I would use Damp Rid instead of an air freshener which itself might also be flammable.

The package has three bags each lasting about 60 days. That's a six month supply and I'm very pleased. The cost is well worth it.

Of course, this can be used in other areas just as Amazon notes; garages, bathrooms, laundry rooms and more. Although they say it's septic safe I would dispose of these in the garbage; I certainly wouldn't put this down into any septic system. In addition, this product has a strong scent. If you are allergic to scents you may need to choose another product.

Overall, this is one awesome product. I highly recommend Damp Rid for neutralizing bad odors in closets and more and replacing them with a baby powder smell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Product really works!, January 20, 2007
I live in Central Texas where it is always humid and damp and the mold count is generally in the medium to high range at all times of the year. We also happen to live in an older home that has closets which, for some reason, lend to dampness and mildew. I don't know if it's because of the way the wind blows on that side of the house, or what. But the walls basically sweat and the closets get damp even without a leak of any kind and without rain.

Anyway, I buy these things religiously to keep our clothes, leather coats, shoes, and closets in general, fresh and dry. They really make a difference and you can visually see how much water is being pulled out of the air.

These packets hang up like a hanger and are self enclosed. They can't accidentally knock over like the Damp Rid buckets can. Once the moisture is absorbed in, it's "locked" in. (The bags are quite durable, but they *can* be punctured.) And they easily function in these small spaces, where an electric dehumidifier can't reach or it's just not feasible to consider a Damp Rid bucket.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading description., July 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
I ordered Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-count package (Pack of 3) thinking that this was a good price for 9 hanging closet fresheners. I was NOT pleased to receive only three (3) hanging closet fresheners. The description should be corrected to read "Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-count Package (1 box). I feel very upset that I overpaid for merchandise that was described in a misleading way. Not what I expect from Amazon.com Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) By the way, I hate the description but not the product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive description, June 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
This item is described as "3-Count Package (Pack of 3)". Every other Amazon item I've seen described that way indicates that you are getting 3 separate 3-count packages. Apparently, in this case, that's not what it means. I received ONE 3-count package. Buyer beware. This item is overpriced and deceptively described.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good item - terrible price, misleading label!, November 1, 2011
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
I'd give the product itself 4 stars, but as "newyorkmom" pointed out, the price here is terrible and the offer misleading. The header that reads "3-Count Package (Pack of 3)" can be taken to mean a pack of three boxes, each containing three fresheners. Why on earth buy a single box of 3 fresheners at this price when you can get it at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $10? Amazon should at least edit the offer -- but also reconsider this pricing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Be avoid to be cheated !!!, January 10, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
Be avoid to be cheated !!! The title "3-Count Package (Pack of 3)" doesn't mean including 9-pack, it only has 3-pack. You don't have to paid that much on current market, and Amazon's other selling are all cheaper than this one. I forgot to view other one star reviews before I ordered it, so I hope you won't be cheated.

2.0 out of 5 stars Love the Product, but HATE the Scent, October 3, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Damp Rid Hanging Closet Fresheners, 3-Count Package (Pack of 3) (Health and Beauty)
I use this product regularly as we live in a very damp area, but I normally get the unscented which at this writing is only sold in a single pack here on Amazon. So I thought I'd save a little money and try the 3-pack. OMG, the scent is like those cheap smelling deodorant cakes they put in rest-stop bathrooms. I truly do not understand why they would make this smell so "low rent." Please, save yourself some disappointment and do NOT risk this scented version. Amazon sells the fragrance free which I do highly recommend.
