I have bought some damp traps. When it comes to refilling them, what substance would soak up the most moisture? Googling, dishwasher salt and cat litter have been suggested, but nobody seems to be able to say exactly what would, in principle, absorb the most moisture.
What substance absorbs the most moisture in a given time

Best Answer
Calcium Chloride.
They sell it as driveway ice-melt by the 5 or 10 pound bag so it is cheap. It is even used in pickling to make vegetables crisp.
It makes a great desiccant.
