What is the function of rice placed in the wardrobe?
Rice is not only a daily food but it has an interesting characteristic of absorbing moisture. Rice can dry the air. Rice’s ability to absorb moisture is extremely high. So when you put dry rice in jars, bottles, wide-mouthed containers and place them in the wardrobe, they will act as moisture absorbers.
The moisture-absorbing function of rice will help reduce odor in your clothes, especially during the humid season, or when the weather is very humid. The method is very simple: You just need to put rice in a clean, dry container and place it in a corner of the wardrobe. Or you can put rice in scented bags available in stores, they have small openings for moisture absorption.
If you like a fragrance, you can add essential oils to the rice, so they have a dual function: Moisture absorption and fragrance creation in the wardrobe.
Leave the rice for a while until it absorbs enough moisture and loses its fragrance, then replace it with a new bag. But note that when using this method, you should make sure that your wardrobe is tightly closed to avoid attracting mice and cockroaches.
Rice can be placed in the corner of the bed, in leather bags, or any item that needs moisture absorbers
In the humid season, you can place these scented rice jars/bags at the head of the bed or in the corner of the bed to absorb moisture and release a refreshing fragrance, eliminating the musty, damp smell in the house.
