Don't Toss Those Silica Gel Packets! Discover Their Surprising Uses

Jewelry: Jewelry is also one of the things that can be affected by moisture, even when it isn’t stored in a damp place. Do you want to prevent your jewelry from discolouring? Then it’s a good idea to put a bag of silica gel in your jewelry box.

Phone: Whoops, did you drop your phone in water? You might be familiar with the rice trick (which you can find here), but did you know that silica balls are much more effective? Fill a bowl with the balls, place your phone into the bowl and leave it there for 24 hours. You’ll notice the silica balls are much more effective than the rice.
