Bags with silicone gel i.e silica gel bags could be usually found in boxes of shoes and they usually end up in the garbage just because we believe are useless and even toxic.
The truth is that in them there is no poison, but silicon dioxide that we should not eat, but it is particularly very useful around the home.
Here’s how you can use them on a 7 ways and it is truly amazing:
1. Put them in your gym bag
The main purpose of these little packets is to absorb any extra moisture and protect the item they are added to from growing bacteria or mold. Bacteria thrive in damp and moist environments so adding one of these guys to your gym bag will eliminate dampness and germs thus freshening it up. They can even remove a very foul odor.
2. Put them between towels
3. Make your razors last longer
Instead of leaving your razor around in the bath where it’s always wet put it in a plastic container with a few silica bags inside. It will make it last longer.
4. Save your drowned phone
If you happen to drop your phone in water and it gets wet, don’t lose hope! Instead of putting it in a jar of rice try the same with silica bags. Fill a jar with them and put your mobile in, it will be much more effective.
5. No more foggy car windows
This is the best one for me – since foggy car windows cause me a lot of problems especially in this damp weather season. This goes to all you drivers out there; it’s a true lifesaver in the winter. Instead of waiting for your windows to defog, which in older car models can take forever, put a bunch of these silica gel bags under your windshield from the inside immediately. You’ll see that tomorrow your windows won’t be foggy. It’s the fastest way to stop your windows from fogging up and you’ll save yourself the 10 extra minutes needed to clean them up.
6. Save your make up
Every women needs to have a bag or two of silica gel in her make up purse to stop the powdery make up from curdling.
7.Save your old photos
Old photos usually deteriorate with time, which is really sad because they are the sole reminders of our past and are quite dear to our hearts. Put a couple of silica gel bags in your box of old photos to save them from the dampness that can ruin them.
