When buying shoes or snacks, have you noticed that a small bag of silica gel desiccant is often included in the shoe box or packaging bag? Usually, we throw it into the trash along with the packaging. But silica gel desiccants have some amazing uses that most people are unaware of, and just throwing them away is too regrettable.
Dry out a wet phone
When your phone is slightly flooded but still working, it should be turned off immediately. Then, place the phone in a glass jar with more desiccant, cover tightly, and let it sit for a period of time to suck out the moisture inside the phone.
Keep the shoe cabinet from smelling
Shoes can smell, mainly due to sweat and bacteria on the feet. If you throw a few bags of desiccant into the shoe cabinet, it will absorb moisture and allow the shoes to dry as soon as possible. Opening the shoe cabinet again will not be so awkward.
Prevent clothing and shoes from getting moldy
When changing seasons, putting a few bags in your folded shoes, bags, or clothing pockets can prevent clothing from getting damp, moldy, or deformed.
Keep the seeds dry
The collected seeds are afraid of germination due to moisture, so you can put a bag of desiccant in the storage box to avoid it!
