I can not find the thread, but i am sure that i read something about things that you can put amongst your clothes, bedding etc in the container that will take some of the moisture out of your things Has anybody got any ideas of what i am talking about, or do i need to lay down and take a pill

You can buy these sort of gel things (the sort of stuff you find in shoe boxes and handbags). Not sure where you would get them from but I think there might be some in the Argos cat (where they sell the removal boxes)

We have been saving any we have to put into our things, like the guitars.

Have a look at this link http://www.ciao.co.uk/Vacuum_Storage...Review_5514050 just a thought.

If you can't get hold of silica gel packets - cheap alternative is tea bags - they work in exactly the same way and will draw moisture from what ever package they are in.

They work especially well in Fridges, Freezers, Dishwashers and Washing Machine which will always have a small element of mositure in them, at the time of shipping, no matter how well they dried out.

Use vaccum bags too - godsend for clothes, bedding, towels etc

I thought about tea bags too but wondered how AQIS would react if they found them.

chrisk8

No issues with AQIS besides they will be in items that won't necessarily be of interest to AQIS. Clothes, Washing Machines etc - they are more intereted in items from outside etc
