11 reasons why you should never throw away those little packages

Like coffee filters and tea bags, they can be used for a variety of purposes – even if they’ve already served their purpose.

Here are 10 reasons why you should never throw away those silica gel packets:

1. You can save your cell phone
Silica sachets are incredibly absorbent. If the cell phone falls into the toilet or leaks, don’t worry. Remove the SIM card and battery and cover them with the little balls. You will absorb moisture from your cell phone and have it up and running in no time.

2nd. They make sure your sports equipment always smells good
Silica gel wraps are good at eliminating odors. So throw a few in your gym bag to avoid unpleasant scents.

3rd. They protect your memories
Discovering a shoebox full of old memories just to find them in a sorry state breaks your heart. So why don’t you just store your memories with a few packets of silica gel? The pearls absorb moisture and slow down the aging of precious memories.

4th. They make your silverware shine.
Put some of the wrappers in the drawer with your silverware and your knives, pine nuts and spoons won’t change color.
