"Damp rid?" Is that what you Aussies call a towel?

Sounds like something close to what happened to my dad's car when the recycling truck sideswiped it a while ago. Yeah, that's expensive damage.

Ah so. Makes sense.

I thought it was like a chamois cloth or something for getting rid of the damp.

And I thought smurf was from down under. Maybe it was the reference to the drought that confused me.
I need some coffee.

I think he is referring to those containers of Calcium Chloride that you purchase in a supermarket, and place in a cupboard, or a place in your house that suffers from moisture. The crystals absorb water molecules (they are hygroscopic), from the surrounding air. Damp Rid is made in the USA, BTW.
