I am trying to find natural crystals to use as a dehumidifier in my basement. Any suggestions?

The electric dehumidifier that I was using was extremely expensive to run (even with an Energy Efficient Rating). Someone suggested natural crystals but an online search shows some expensive alternatives. Anyone try anything new/different to remove moisture from the air?

      Try charcoal briquettes that you would use for a charcoal grille. They absorb moisture. You can also buy a mesh bag with porous rocks in it that will absorb moisture. Home Depot has them, I believe. Does your humidifier have a thermostat on it? I use mine and put it on a low setting so it only goes on when the basement feels very damp. They are costly, but I’m not sure these other remedies will work. Is it a finished basement? You can sprinkle baking soda in your carpet and after a couple of days, vacuum it out and it will absorb some of the moisture. It’s safe for carpets.
