Dehumidifiers use a heat pump (similar to an air conditioner's heat pump) to de-humidify. A heat pump dehumidifier uses a fan to draw indoor air over a heat exchange coil. It returns to the indoor air the heat generated by the dehumidifier - not good for you if your closets already warm .....
there are also chemical de-humidifiers or there is also a product ive used called "damp rid" its like these little crystal things that draw moisture out of the air and collect below the crystals - should find it at your hardware store .... usually used for rising damp in houses ....

the best suggestion I have is a portable air conditioning unit...Mine has a specific mode for dehumidify, and I bought it slightly used on ebay for under $80.00

I ran it all summer and it's functionality is perfect..Keep in mind its used so its not the newest looking tool in my grow room arsonal.. The portables comes in all different sizes and most have wheels as well..To be honest with you the one I bought was a lil bit big but it shoe horned in there and works great.. Add a couple of small fans and it should be rock and roll, that is unless your closet is really small...
