Opening the windows for a short time also works for me.

I think ordinary cheap salt would work just as well.

My daughter put salt in a tray on the window sill and she says works well and is really damp in the morning. I can’t see that what you suggest wouldn’t also work.

I have several shop bought moisture traps around my house and they seem to work.
After about a month, the crystals slowly dissolve and leaving an inch or so of water.
They are cheap to buy but I’d like to have a go of making my own.
I’ve looked o google and can only see suggestions for making little pouches.
I feel I could reuse the plastic container, after disposing of the water, then add an upper layer of sea salt….
Has anyone tried this or similar?
Thanks in advance.
