THE RE-USABLE WAY TO KEEP DAMP AT BAY FROM HALFORDS

Mon, Sep 29, 2014 11:00 CET

Halfords has introduced a cost effective, reusable dehumidifier that enables motorists storing their vehicles over the winter to protect them from damp, mould and rust.

The ThoMar Air Dry (£12.99*) contains natural granules that absorb excess moisture in the atmosphere over a 2-4 month period and can be regenerated any number of times by simply drying it out on a home radiator.

The Air Dry has a compact and unobtrusive design (35 x 14 x 9cm) that means it can remain out of sight in cars that are used infrequently as well as those being stored for longer periods – preventing unwanted stains on upholstery as well as unpleasant odours by retaining up to 0.6 litres of water.

Halfords Product Manager Richard Bowen said: “Whether you store your vehicle outside under a protective cover or are lucky enough to have access to a garage, the Air Dry is ideal for drivers who want to protect their pride and joy from the effects of condensation when storing it away during the winter months.”
