**Raw rice** is considered an effective absorbent that can absorb moisture and neutralize odors. A container with it is placed on the shelf. This helps prevent mold growth and keeps clothes fresh. **Baking soda or table salt** also absorb excess moisture. They are poured into a small bowl and left in a remote corner of the closet, replacing them every two to three weeks as they harden. **Scented bath salt** not only reduces humidity but also gives clothes a light pleasant scent. It is used just like regular salt. If an odor has already developed, it is recommended to air out the closet and sprinkle **mustard powder or ground coffee** on the shelves. These remedies neutralize mustiness in 10–12 hours and leave no stains on fabric. For scenting, a damp cloth with a few drops of **essential oil** can be used, which is left in the open closet for a couple of hours. The use of a piece of **scented soap** is also acceptable.
