Stop throwing out silica gel packets. Here are 10 nifty uses

2. Save your phone

Separate your phone and battery. Place both into a sealable baggie with as many silica gel packets as you can find. Seal the bag and let it set until morning. (It sure beats wasting an entire bag of rice!)

3. Keep your pumpkin fresh

If your Halloween pal molds and rots too quickly, try tossing a few silica gel packs inside the carved pumpkin. It will keep moisture at bay and keep your jack-‘o-lantern mold-free a little longer. (Bonus: the gel packs aren’t flammable so you should be okay to light your jack–o-lantern as usual.

4. Protect your leather shoes

Toss a few silica gel packets into your leather shoes (or even sports shoes) to suck out the moisture and keep them from getting moldy.

5. Dry your swimsuit

Try tossing a few of these packets into a zip lock bag with your damp swimsuit to suck out the moisture on the fly.

6. Protect your books

Keep your older books from getting musty by placing a silica gel pack in the cover. You can also place the book into a baggy with the packets to remove any musty smell that’s already there.
