How much moisture is too much?
Many homes, storage areas, stored vehicles and other spaces struggle with excess humidity and dampness in the air. If left untreated, excess moisture can lead to musty odors, moisture damage, and mold and mildew*. While moisture levels vary based on climate and temperature, to protect your home, relative humidity should be kept below 60%, with 30% - 50% being the optimal range (EPA.gov, 2021). DampRid Moisture Detection Strips measure the level of humidity in the air, helping you identify areas where excess moisture is a problem. And where there is excess moisture, DampRid’s Moisture Solution Tool helps you find the right product for your unique situation.
*Only DampRid Moisture Absorber1 products inhibit mold & mildew (EPA Reg. No. 4091-15)
How to use your Moisture Detection Strips:
- Unwrap one DampRid Moisture Detection Strip and discard wrapper. Place strip on any surface in the area you want to measure. Strip will begin working immediately.
- The blue dots will gradually change color to purple and then pink to indicate the level of moisture in the air. After 2 hours, the highest dot that changes color to purple or pink indicates the level of moisture in your space.
- The purple color means that moisture has been detected at that percentage in your space. The pink color means that moisture has been detected above that percentage in your space.
- If the “60%+” dot changes to purple or pink, there is excess moisture in the air. Click “Get Started” to find your ideal DampRid moisture solution today.
If the “60%+” dot remains blue, the moisture levels are within an acceptable range.
If you do not have excess moisture, but you are experiencing musty odors or have concerns about moisture fluctuation, DampRid Moisture Absorbers can be used to create fresher, cleaner air and prevent moisture damage if moisture levels fluctuate.
