Hacks using silica gel to extend the shelf life of your groceries !

We find silica gel packets in plenty of places - they may come with our newly purchased clothes or electronics packaging. I used to toss these packets into the garbage until I realized how useful they can be. These little bags are so incredibly handy thanks to their powerful moisture absorption abilities. They’re great to have around the house, in your car and on the go. Just be sure to keep them out of reach of children.

1. Keep seeds fresh 

Put a silica packet with your rice, beans, and other types of seeds to keep them fresher for longer.

2. Preserve herbs and spices

No moisture = longer life for herbs and spices (and even dog food).

 3.Prevent mold and mildew in your linen cabinet

Hide some packets in your closet and avoid moldy towels.

 

4. Keep your makeup travel bag dry

This is one bag that often breeds moisture to ruin your expensive makeup. A little bag or two of these gel packets will keep your cosmetics dry and fresh.

 5. Slow down tarnishing in silverware

Tarnish in silver is similar to rust, so keeping some silica packets with your silverware will keep them shining for longer.

6. Preserve Christmas decorations

A packet or two in your box of decorations will keep them looking like new every year.

7. Reduce rusting in your toolbox

Place a couple of packets in your toolbox and keep your tools rust-free.
