Wait! Do not throw away your silica gel packets!
We have all wondered about the usefulness of the little transparent beads contained in those small white packets, which are often found in boxes of new items, such as shoes, clothing, or even medicines.
But what is their function? The small white packets contain silica gel, a substance capable of adsorbing moisture and therefore preserving the integrity of a packaged item. In fact, the silica gel balls absorb moisture and keep the surrounding air dry.
The utility of silica gel packets does not end when we take the new item out of the box, in fact, there are many other uses that few people know. Here's on what other occasions you can use them!
