Tips for using silica gel:

Sharp blades

You probably know this: over time, wet razors become blunt and rust in the shower. They will last longer if you store them together with a silica packet, for example in a plastic container.

Drying flowers

Dried plants make pretty home decorations. Unfortunately, it takes time for flowers to dry properly. It is quicker if you wrap them in paper together with a bag of silica balls.

Protect photos

Nowadays, most snapshots of our memories end up on our laptops. But older photos in particular have been developed and put in a drawer. Protect them. Add a silica bag. It prevents the photos from getting damp, sticking together or discoloring.

Clear view

If you go from cold to warm, the lens of your camera can fog up. How you can prevent this: Put a packet of silica gel in your photo bag and simply leave it there permanently.

Storing seeds

If you still have open sachets from the summer, they can become damp in the cold season. If you store them in an airtight container with a packet of silica gel, there will be no problems.

Away with muff

Phew, the sports bag isn't exactly the freshest place in the world. One or two packets of silica bags in there will bind the bad odors. It's best to put one in your locker too. Practical use of silica gel when traveling: simply stow a sachet in your suitcase.

Saving electronics

Dropped your cell phone in the water? Drama! But help is at hand in the form of this silica gel application: remove the battery and cards and place them in a bowl with a few silica sachets overnight.

Beautiful silver

Of course, you want to keep your valuable cutlery for a long time to come. So don't leave it alone. With silica gel in the drawer, knives, forks and spoons won't tarnish so easily. The little miracle balls also protect other metal from rust. Simply store them together.
