getting people to use them is another thing.
yep. they are almost never used except as a fart fan. Kids never ever use them when showering.
I've installed humidity sensors that turn them on when things start steaming up. I bought them from amz for I think around $20.

i'm trying to figure out where the OP said the shower is up against his closet or are you just assuming that?
I'll update with pics when I get home from work today.

Either way, the humidity lever switches for the exhaust fan seems like a great idea.

Guess I'm confused by this. I have an exhaust IN my bathroom that runs everytime a shower is taken. Are ya'll saying to put some type of exhaust inside my closet?

damprid in there constantly
Damprid is pretty much useless for anywhere but enclosed containers. There is just too much water vapor in the air for those small things to be anywhere near effective. People see that they fill with water and assume it's effective but it only removes a very small portion of the humidity. For any kind of room in a house it's useless.
fyi, Central A/C systems remove multiple gallons of water everyday from houses during the summer.
What was reason for putting damprid in the first place?

Why do you have to keep damprid? What problem are you seeing?
Is there an air conditioning vent in your closet?

And no, we aren't talking about putting an exhaust vent in the closet.

The issue is more than likely lack of exhaust. Your exhaust may not be working properly or insufficient for your needs.
The only real way to reduce steam is either exhaust or the source.
ETA, If shower steam is the cause

It comes on automatically? If so, it probably has a built in humidity sensor. If that is the case then you are set there.

Are you sure there isn't a pinhole leak? I don't think high moisture is coming from the plumbing only...

I guess I wasn't. Maybe a smell? Ex wife was doing it so I just continued when she left.
No there isn't a vent in the closet
Posted on 2/21/17 at 9:15 am to couv1217
can you at least tell us if that closed directly backs up to the shower enclosure?
Posted on 2/21/17 at 9:18 am to meauxjeaux2
The exhaust fan could actually be the problem. If the flex hose to vent the exhaust is disconnected or non existent, it could be exhausting the moisture into the attic, wall or closet.

dumb bitch was triffling. throw out the damp rid and *forget about this made up situation and go about living your life.
* if mushrooms start growing in said area then you may want to revisit the issue.

This actually may be the issue. She did make up all kind of issues. This could have been just another one of those things.

a small closed up room will develop a musty smell on its own. Not sure how big the closet is but a small A/C vent may eliminate the stale odor if there is one.
Or just leave the closet door open more often.
