Remove water / moisture from boot

Okay so having resolved my water ingress issue through the rear cluster (see this post here - I had this same issue). How can I go about getting rid of the water / moisture?

Is there anyway to route cabin air to the boot? I don't mind having the heat on full whack for a journey or two if it helps dry it out? (I do a pretty solid hour commute so journey duration is not an issue, i.e. it will have warmed up nicely).

Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of a warm garage... any other tips? Ideas?

Cheers guys :)
 
Put a big tub of uncooked rice or pasta in the boot and leave it for a few days to draw up the moisture?

Cheers Chris, your answer prompted a google (I had done this previously but car specific answers were stupid, ranging from garage your car to turn the heater on full blast) and seems cat litter is notoriously good for soaking up water and general moisture. Think I'll pop to Tesco later to get a bag :)
 
Get a small dehumidifier and put it in the boot. You could also put a heater blower but only on low.

Cheers Zoomer, sadly I don't have access to a garage otherwise I may have done that. Need something I can do without garaging and without power, etc.
 
Unibond Aero 360. They are amazing - we have a condensation issue in one of our house rooms and this literally collects a litre of water a week!!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/UniBond-Aero-Moisture-Absorber-Device/dp/B00F1DNYPE

Widely avail in Tesco / Homebase / B&Q also.
