Rice works because it works as a hygroscopic substance and absorbs moisture. While this ok, it would be better to get a real commercial hygroscopic substance, desiccant. You know those bags with beads in them that you are not supposed to eat.

Any equipment shipped overseas will have big bags of this stuff, go to a big appliance store or any local supplier of big equipment and see if they will give you the big bags that come packed with the equipment.

You could even bag and tag it with these bags inside. Remember time is your friend when it comes to clearing out the moisture.
