Some experienced housewives have pieces of chalk in their closet, which they put there to solve a certain known problem.
It may seem strange to the uninitiated, but in fact it is an effective trick. Chalk comes to the rescue when the question arises of how to get rid of dampness in a wardrobe with clothes.
Dampness in the closet
A problem that becomes relevant in autumn with the arrival of rains and cold weather. Then the air humidity in the apartment or house increases.
Dampness appears not only in a separate room, but also in closets. This is fraught with the appearance of a musty smell and mold.
Chalk trick
Pieces of chalk perfectly absorb moisture that is in the air. Therefore, it is laid out on shelves and cabinets where clothes and shoes are stored. For a similar purpose, chalk is placed on the bottom of the laundry basket.
But the pieces are not simply put in the closet, but are first placed in a cloth bag or nylon sock.
Chalk can be placed not only on shelves, but also fixed on a clothes hanger. The coat or down jacket will be protected from dampness.
