Question from Reenie
I saw packets of a product I think was called Damp Rid at a home where I was green cleaning. It smells a lot like moth balls. Is this stuff safe? Toxic?
Debra’s Answer
According to the Damp Rid MSDS, the freshener pack is mostly natural bentonite clay, plus a little silica gel (glass is silica), and a few polyethylene fibers ( which are not toxic).
MSDS generally don’t list any fragrance that may be in the product, as it is not considered hazardous by the MSDS regulations.
Aside from any fragrance, there’s nothing else in this product that is a toxic chemical. These ingredients are listed as a dust hazard.
